Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, President of the Ghana Law Society and Majority Chief Whip, has publicly criticized the Ghana Bar Association (GBA). He argues the GBA had no legitimate reason to respond to petitions submitted by law firms regarding lawyer availability during proceedings concerning the Chief Justice. Dafeamekpor believes the GBA’s involvement was unwarranted and potentially inappropriate, given the nature of the petition. He did not elaborate on the specific concerns raised by the law firms, only objecting to the GBA’s reaction. His statement suggests a disagreement between the two legal bodies on how to approach concerns related to ongoing judicial processes. This situation raises questions about the roles and boundaries of professional legal organizations in Ghana. It also underlines potential tensions within the legal community regarding matters related to the judiciary.
