Former Director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansa-Asare, has weighed in on concerns surrounding judicial independence, stressing that the loyalty of judges must lie solely with the Constitution and not with the political parties that nominate or appoint them.
Speaking in an interview with TV3 on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, Mr.
Ansa-Asare criticized the entrenched culture of political bias in appointments, arguing that it undermines the integrity of Ghana's judiciary. "The way things happen in Ghana, we tend to over-satisfy our followers.
So, if there is an NPP government in power, then they will look for judges who will be sympathetic to their political aspirations," he said.
