I am a proud citizen of Ghana with little pride in the trajectory of our democracy.

I am a father of two children who only have Ghana as their home and nationality.

Just like many other Ghanaian children, they have full lifetimes ahead of them, for which reason I cannot be reticent about recent developments in our country.As a people, our belief in a free, fair and just society after military experiments led us to adopt a constitution credited for our existing democracy and governance structures, including the Supreme Court.My Lady, the utility and beneficence of these institutions and structures depend on the extent to which they satisfy the ideals of justice, democracy and the rule of law.

You should be worried if 'we-the-people', in whom sovereignty resides and, on whose behalf, justice is administered, no longer believe that the judicial system upholds these ideals.My Lady, it is concerning that according to the Afrobarometer reports, trust in the judiciary has fallen from 56% in 2012 to 35% in 2024.
