The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has fully withdrawn its services today, June 30, 2025, in observance of Martyrs' Day.
This action, formally permitted by Ghana's Acting Chief Justice, Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, is expected to significantly impact court proceedings nationwide, potentially delaying numerous cases and raising questions about access to justice.
The GBA's decision comes amidst escalating disputes between the legal community and the government.
The association has voiced several grievances, including delays in implementing judicial reforms and concerns regarding the independence of the judiciary.
