Dear Mr.

Speaker, a while ago, I published an open letter to the Chief Justice of our Republic, Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo.

The sentiments contained in that letter came from puritanical intentions and aligned, I believe, with pervasive public perceptions of our apex court.I argued that the waning trust in the judiciary is a major risk to our democracy.

We may have enjoyed over 30 years of our 4th Republic, but we should not get too comfortable.
