Who says foul whisperings are abroad unnatural deeds

The Ghana Bar Association, in a release signed by its National President, Yaw Boafo, Esq and National Secretary, Kwaku Gyan Baffour roundly condemned this statement by Sosu, saying, вЂњ It is reckless for anybody to give the slightest suggestion that the tenure of judges is linked to the tenure of the political regimes under which judges are appointed.вЂќ The statement added that, вЂњThe Legal Profession (Professional Conduct and Etiquette) Rules 2020 (L1 2423) forbids a lawyer from making a statement about judicial and legal officials which the lawyer knows to be false вЂ¦вЂќ Let that be clear because political power is very transient, positions are not possessions, so people will come, people will go.вЂќ Anaa, the value is the same?вЂќДuring the вЂњYenntuaвЂќ demonstration against the E-levy, Francis Xavier Sosu, MP for Madina had remarked: вЂњWhat it means is that when you become partisan as a judge remember that your tenure of office as a judge will run with the political party that you favour. With all our will and might forever more. If this E-levy still passes after this cake bullshit, then may God вЂ¦ Help us to resist oppressor's rule. On another post, he wrote: вЂњOkay, let's try again. Vormawor, a Ghanaian lawyer, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge had the uncharitable audacity to state in one of his posts in the social media: вЂњIf this E-levy passes after this cake bullshit, I will do the coup myself. And we want to believe that the lead counsel for Vormawor, Akoto-Ampaw, a seasoned lawyer, would appreciate the position of the District Court which is seized with power for committal and not the power to grant bail in an indictable case. Oliver Mawuse Barker-Vormawor, the Lead Convener of the #FixTheCountry movement was remanded into police custody for two weeks on a charge of treason felony when he appeared before the Ashaiman District Court which was presided over by Mrs. Clause 4 adds: вЂњall citizens of Ghana shall have the right and duty at all times to defend the constitution and in particular, to resist any person or group of persons seeking to commit any of the acts referred to in Clause 3 of this article вЂ¦вЂќ And clause 5 states: вЂњAny person or group of persons who suppresses or resists the suspension, overthrow or abrogation of this Constitution as referred to in Clause 3 of this Constitution, commits no offence.вЂќ Clause 3 states: вЂњAny person who by himself or in concert with others by any violent or other unlawful means suspends or overthrows or abrogates this Constitution or any part of it, or attempts to do any such act, or aids and abets in any manner any person referred to in paragraph (a) of this Constitution shall suffer death. There are rather far too many вЂњfoul whisperingsвЂќ in Ghana now, and one cannot understand why Ghanaians, including lawyers and journalists have joined the fray in making all these вЂњugly noisesвЂќ and making the country heat up.ДЄrticle 3 of the 1992 Constitution states in Clause 2: вЂњAny activity of a person or group of persons which suppresses or seeks to suppress the lawful political activity of any other person or any class of persons generally is unlawful. Perhaps Nero was playing the вЂњcitharaвЂќ not a вЂњfiddleвЂќ. One could disregard the argument that the viol class of instruments (among which was the fiddle) had not developed till the 11th century.

As a great academician, Limann had disregarded Tacitus's account that вЂњNero fiddled while Rome burnedвЂќ in AD 64. Later rumours revealed that Dr Limann received daily вЂњfoul whisperingsвЂќ (intelligence reports) but dismissed them all, saying: вЂњGyato, wonntumi nnye hweeвЂќ (The mulatto cannot do anything).

We were not too young when Jerry John Rawlings staged the coup of 31st December, 1981 to overthrow Dr Hilla Limann's People's National Party government. To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets вЂ¦ I think but dare not speakвЂќ - Doctor: Macbeth Act V вЂњFoul whisperings are abroad: unnatural deeds Do breed unnatural troubles: infected winds.
