Vicky Bright, a former legal advisor to ex-President John Agyekum Kufuor, has spoken out against what she sees as growing political hypocrisy and inconsistency in Ghana's implementation of the rule of law, according to Ghana Web.
Speaking on the JoyNews AM Show on May 5, Bright criticized political personalities who change their viewpoints depending on which party is in power, warning that such behavior undermines the country's democratic institutions.
She contended that the rule of law must be administered fairly and impartially, regardless of political party. "The rule of law does not bend based on which party holds power," she stated during the interview.
Bright observed that Ghana's democracy is undermined by partisan reactions to national concerns, with certain political leaders expressing selective outrage.
She emphasized how these contradictions weaken public trust and harm governance.
According to her, this trend has been seen across governments, with actions that were previously ignored under President Nana Akufo-Addo's administration now being fiercely attacked by those who remained silent.
She urged political players to be consistent and transparent in their advocacy, emphasizing that a fair judicial system cannot be constructed on double standards. "Selective outrage does not build a better Ghana," she told the crowd.
Bright asked Ghanaians to engage in national contemplation and hold all political leaders accountable and fair.
