Yaw Acheampong Boafo, National President of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA), has urged Ghanaians not to let politicians divide them during the election campaign.
He believed that citizens should utilise their civic rights at all times, regardless of whose political party was in control.
This was in his New Year’s Message.
“To our countrymen who need no reminding that 2024 is an election year, we urge you to continue to be model citizens and engage your full citizenship for national development, irrespective of who holds the reins of political power.”
“There is more that unites us than divides us. We must cherish our unity in diversity. Let’s act in the hospitality of our forefathers and not allow politicians in their Machiavellian pursuit of political power to divide us on ethnic, religious, and other divisive pranks.”
“It’s my fervent hope that the campaign and the elections will be conducted with a high level of decorum so that we will have the moral authority to speak truth to our politicians.”
Meanwhile, he has also expressed the readiness of the GBA in collaborating with the with the judiciary, the Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Gertrude Torkonoo, to ensure access to justice reforms for citizens.
“We will continue our cooperation with the judiciary, and our Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Araba Torkonoo, to ensure access to justice reforms for all Ghanaians and smooth administration of justice,” he assured.
To members of the GBA he said “We will urge members of GBA in public life and politics to set the standards at all times. There’s only one Ghana company limited, and we are all stakeholders,” he stated.
