Speaking on JoyNews' PM Express on Tuesday, May 13, he defended the government's handling of the case involving the Chief Justice and said no one should be above the law, not even the one who presides over it. "This country's very soul thrives on freedom and justice," the Ketu South MP said. "But if it's pretty clear that the one who is supposed to be in charge of the justice of our country herself is not able to live up to the high mantra of doing things according to the law, then charity must begin at home."

Kwetey said the probe into the Chief Justice's conduct is not driven by politics but by a deep commitment to accountability. "As far as I'm concerned, if she has done everything okay, there's no problem," he noted. "But if there's a problem and it's established, then that's it." He insisted the process must be allowed to unfold without interference. "I trust the people who make up the Council of State, including a former Chief Justice of our country, a former Speaker of Parliament.
