The Chief Justice should stop commenting on some political issues – Domelevo

Mr Domelevo noted that although the Chief Justice may intend to strengthen cooperation between the Judiciary and other state institutions, remarks suggesting that an institution is corrupt or inefficient could compromise confidence in the court’s neutrality if related cases subsequently come before it.

Speaking on Channel One TV on Saturday, September 5, Mr Domelevo said: “My wish is that if it is possible, the Chief Justice should stop commenting on some political issues, especially issues that can later on cover litigation coming back to the court.

Former Auditor-General Daniel Yaw Domelevo has urged Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie to stop commenting on political matters that could potentially end up before the courts, warning that such statements could create a perception that the Judiciary is biased.
