Government Spokesperson Felix Ofosu Kwakye believes that, for the past 32 years, the judiciary has not been fair to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

He cites cases the party has lost in the past, including during the tenure of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

According to Kwakye Ofosu, the judiciary may have biases against the NDC due to the party's historical interactions with the judicial system. He argues that it is time for the party to demand balance and fairness from the judiciary.

Speaking on Point of View on Accra-based Channel 1, he expressed his concerns, “The Chief Justice is not at the beck and call of the President. She is the head of an independent institution. We have our own views, and I have my views, and I don’t think they’ve been fair to the NDC. They’ve not been fair to the NDC for 32 years.

"You will recall that in the Rawlings era, the government of the day lost almost all cases taken to court.

"Consider the famous cases about June 4th and 31st December, the GBC case, and the one J.H. Mensah took to court regarding whether ministers should be vetted again if they had previously been appointed. We lost all those cases.

"Under the NPP, I am a Member of Parliament, and I have not hidden my dissatisfaction with the judiciary’s performance. It was possible for Afenyo Markins to file a case in court and have it scheduled for a hearing within twelve hours. Yet, the minority at the time filed a case against the passage of the e-levy, which has been pending for three years.

"By a stroke of a pen, Godfred Dame was able to change a judge presiding over a case, yet Opuni exhausted all efforts, and the same judge was maintained.

"A judge who held Kennedy Agyapong in contempt was removed because it was deemed the contempt was directed at him. Yet, in the Montie Three case, those allegedly held in contempt were allowed to sit on the same case.

"The inconsistency, unfairness, and imbalance are evident, and that remains my position to this day. We need to insist on fairness and balance. Historically, there appears to be an antipathy towards the NDC, but justice should not be dispensed based on perceptions of political parties,” he explained.
