President John Dramani Mahama has refuted allegations of hostility between his administration and the judiciary, stressing his government’s commitment to fostering collaboration with the legal community.
Addressing members of the Ghana Bar Association on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, Mahama acknowledged the perception of tension but assured that his administration values a cooperative relationship with the judiciary to enhance governance.
“Government is open to working with you, particularly on our side of the political divide. There’s this perception that we have a problem with the legal fraternity and things like that,” he stated.
To reinforce his point, Mahama highlighted the presence of individuals such as Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong in his administration as a testament to the government’s respect for the judiciary.
He further emphasized that his government does not harbor any ill feelings toward the judiciary or the legal profession, reaffirming his willingness to engage with them. “We’re not people who have any such animosity towards the judiciary and the legal fraternity. So our doors are open,” he assured.
