Investigative Journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has revealed that Ghana’s Justice system is worse than the constitutional crisis in parliament.
According to Manasseh Azure Awuni, with barely weeks to the next election, it is unacceptable that a constituency would not have an MP, but Ghana seems okay that the people of SALL have not had representation in parliament for four years.
In a long write-up after the Supreme Court Verdict today which has ruled against Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin’s decision to declare four parliamentary seats vacant.
Manasseh wrote, “The court case relating to that matter is dragging at the pace of a wounded snail”.
“The average Ghanaian with some modicum of honesty in their blood would agree that if SALL had been an NPP stronghold, it would not have gone four years without an MP. The Electoral Commission would have completed all legal processes to pave the way for an election there, he boldly stated in his write-up.
He further stated, “This justice system is worse than the constitutional crisis in Parliament. Those chiding the Speaker of Parliament should equally be worried about Ghana’s judiciary and the conduct of institutions of the state that are supposed to be independent”.
