The acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has launched a scathing rebuke against the New Patriotic Party (NPP), accusing it of blatant hypocrisy over its criticism of recent judicial appointments made by President John Dramani Mahama.
According to Mr Gyamfi, the NPP's duplicity in condemning Justice Senyo Gyamfi's elevation to the Supreme Court is both "nauseating" and politically dishonest, especially when contrasted with their unwavering support for similar - and even more politically questionable - appointments made by former President Akufo-Addo. "The problem with the NPP is the duplicity and the hypocrisy they continue to display.
That is what I find nauseating in all these discussions," Mr Gyamfi said.
He drew a sharp comparison between the appointment of Justice Ernest Yao Gaewu - a former NPP parliamentary candidate for Ho Central in 2012 and for Ho West in 2016 - who was made a High Court judge in 2020 and elevated to the Supreme Court by Akufo-Addo in under three years, and Justice Senyo Dzamefe's lengthy and accomplished judicial career. "Justice Senyo Dzamefe served as a State Attorney from 1984 to 1987, was a member of the Regional Tribunal from 1989 to 1996, Circuit Court Judge from 1996 to 2000, High Court Judge from 2000 to 2010, and Court of Appeal Judge from 2010 to 2025," he recounted.
