    Down goes the credibility of the legal profession in GH. We're now going to have NPP law society and an NDC law society. Politics is the winner and the legal profession worst off.

    Humann beings are commenting here, and that 'sea urchin' aka MUMBI SERAKI has also come to comment some. Akaii!!

  • KOFI 2 months ago

    @Frank Agyena-Karikari. You are making a fundamental error. The GBA strongly disliked—indeed, detested—individuals such as Tsatsu Tsikata, Kwamena Ahwoi, and others associated with that group.
    At the time, these individu ...

  • Benji 2 months ago

    Should have told Akuffo Addo and Joe Gartey's wife, not to make GBA a NPP partisan thing. Nobody had issue with GBA before Akuffo showed up. Too late now. Let's remove GBA from constitution too.

  • DEEVINITY 2 months ago

    Was it "reduced to politics" when the shameless NPP-alligned GBA held a monopoly over everything and anything law, pandering only to the whims of their political puppet masters by deliberately establishing a universal legal a ...

    Was that what GBA was doing??? What has happened is the democratization and the opening up of the legal profession to all and sundry. No more monopoly.

  • Y2K 2 months ago

    I don't know why this move worries the NPP so? This reaction is clearly proof that the GBA was indeed an appendage of the NPP and a source of power for them, and now they have lost that power. And so they are not happy. They ...

    Well said. GBA was so predictable during the NPP era. They should be called NPPBA.

  • Kwame Peter 2 months ago

    Justice for Ward Nuako Brew,success in practice will not depend on which body a lawyer belongs to.Maybe they will nominate their members to quickly quickly replace struggling Dr Ayine.

    This is not good. But I dont also fault them. GBA allowed itself to be used by NPP for so long

    Was the NPP in charge of the Legal System of Ghana during the long despotic, authoritarian, and the corrupt murderous rules of Efo Julor Jeremiah Rawlings who must be obeyed and his cohorts?

    Why are you guys talking now. Where have you guys been? GBA has been reduced to NPP legal wing and you expect NDC to sit and just look on? Give me a damn break. Every "elected" president of GBA is associated with NPP.

    This is good news indeed. This has been long overdue. The Ghana Bar Association was an NPP Bar Association, very partisan and so was not meant for all ghanains.
