Lawyer Gary Nimako, Director of Legal Affairs for the New Patriotic Party, has stressed the importance of adhering to the rule of law in Ghana, rather than being governed by individual whims.
In an interview with Bryt Adekye Mu Nsem on October 21, with Kwamina Sam Biney, Lawyer Nimako emphasized that Ghana is a republic, not a “jungle state,” and therefore must operate within the bounds of its laws.
According to him, the four affected Members of Parliament can attend parliament on Tuesday despite the Supreme Court ruling. We should be careful because if you play with the supreme court you will be in trouble.
This comes after the Supreme Court staged the ruling of the Speaker, allowing the affected parliamentarians to occupy their seats beside their respective leaders.
“The order from the supreme court must be obeyed by everyone since it’s valid and still in the system but if you disobey, you are contempt with the court, and also can go back to the same court or higher court to make it overturned and you can’t say you can defend the order because it’s not served for only you”.
The director of legal affairs for the New patriotic party emphasized that the supreme court has ordered that , both the majority and minority affected parliamentarians can attend the Parliamentary meeting and occupy their seats beside their respective leaders and hearing the determination of the matters in court .
“We are not in jungle state but rather republic of Ghana and we are bonded by rule of law not rule of men so if you don’t understand anything by the court, then you go back to the same court , we should be careful because if you play with supreme court you will be in trouble “
