NDC’s Hamza Suhuyini accuses NPP of hypocrisy over Chief Justice’s remarks

Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show on Thursday, September 3, 2026, Mr Suhuyini said the NPP had previously praised the Chief Justice for speaking openly against illegal mining, but was now questioning his neutrality because his latest comments appeared critical of the party’s record in government.

He said the substance of the Chief Justice’s assessment could also be considered against Ghana’s economic difficulties in recent years, including the country’s loss of access to international capital markets and the implementation of the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP).

Comparing the situation to previous plans to dispose of some SSNIT assets, including Labadi Beach Hotel, the Chief Justice said: “If you compare that to the fact that not too long ago, SSNIT was preparing to sell its prized assets like Labadi Beach Hotel, you wonder how Ghana could have sunk so low.
