Only persons steeped in arrogance, outright disrespect & despotic behaviour will attack Mahama for disagreeing with SC’s ruling-Bawa Mogtari

March 13, 2022

Special Aide to former President John Dramani Mahama, Joyce Bawa Mogtari, has taken a swipe at persons who have attacked her boss for his commentary on the Supreme Court ruling to include Deputy Speakers in the voting in the House while they preside.

Mr. Mahama has been lambasted by some individuals in the government including Gabby Otchere Darko for describing the ruling as one that would send the country into absurdity.

But reacting, Joyce Bawa Mogtari asserted that the Supreme Court is not above criticism and Ghanaians have the right to express their views on rulings delivered by the apex court

In a statement, she said “The bedrock of every democracy is freedom of speech first and foremost. To say nobody should criticize an institution created for the people, is within itself absurd.

We should stop making a myth about these Judges; most of them were students at some point, had colleagues at the Bar before becoming judges. They are mandated to defend and protect our rights in a democratic dispensation.”

On the issue of Gabby Otchere Darko, she noted he (Gabby) cannot compare himself to Mr. Mahama who has rich practical experience and understanding of the law parliamentary and governance experience, among others.

She argued that Mr. Mahama cannot be disrespected in any way, unless by persons steeped in arrogance, outright disrespect and despotic behaviour.

Read her full statement below

And who says one must have a knowledge of the law to proffer an opinion, share a view or criticize rulings of the Supreme Court.

Some students of the law and even lawyers lack basic understanding of the Law; the fact that they are lawyers notwithstanding. The SC is not above criticism or scrutiny.

The bedrock of every democracy is freedom of speech first and foremost. To say nobody should criticize an institution created for the people, is within itself absurd.

We should stop making a myth about these Judges; most of them were students at some point, had colleagues at the Bar before becoming judges. They are mandated to defend and protect our rights in a democratic dispensation.

In any case, who is Gabby, in comparison to President John Dramani Mahama? Did Mr. Mahama not support his disagreement with the SC with more cogent, intelligent and practical constitutional arguments than President Akufo-Addo did in his poorly arranged no-question interview?

John Mahama’s understanding of the law, parliamentary and governance experience, practical use of the law etc cannot be disrespected in any way, unless by persons steeped in arrogance, outright disrespect and despotic behaviour.
