Nana Akomea, the vice chairman of Dr. Bawumia’s 2024 campaign team, has charged that Ghana’s democracy is in risk due to the NDC members of parliament.
In an appearance on Peace FM’s ‘Kokrokoo’ program on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, Nana Akomea made the case that the judiciary’s role as the arbiter of legal disputes is fundamental to Ghana’s democracy.
He depicted the judiciary as Ghana’s “old lady,” preserving democracy and keeping the peace, particularly in the face of political unrest like the one that exists right now in the Parliament, where the Minority has taken over the majority position in the House after the Speaker declared several seats vacant.
This role and authority of the Judiciary, Nana Akomea noted, is entrenched in the Constitution and binds every entity to resort to it for rule of law to prevail.
He added that all organs of government and agencies are subject to the decision of the Supreme Court on matters of constitutional and legal interpretations.
To disobey the Supreme Court or any court, he stressed, amounts to subversion against the Constitution and throws out rule of law, thereby risks the country plunging into lawlessness and chaos.
Nana Akomea called on Ghanaians to condemn the NDC’s disobedience to Supreme Court and disregard for its ruling that stays the Speaker’s order for the four seats namely Agona West, Amenfi Central, Fomena and Suhum to remain vacant.
