Ghana’s current Judiciary is in ‘Mahama's pocket' - Maurice Ampaw
News
Lawyer Maurice Ampaw
Lawyer Maurice Ampaw has alleged that Ghana's judiciary is under the control of President John Dramani Mahama.
He questioned the independence of judiciary following the conviction of Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly called 'Chairman Wontumi' for 20 years imprisonment.
Speaking in an interview sighted on Ghana News Stand, lawyer Ampaw said Wontumi's legal team intends to appeal both the conviction and the 20-year prison sentence.
However, to him, the appeal will not be easy. "We'll go for appeal but now that the judiciary is in Mahama's pocket, it will take the grace of God," he alleged.
He emphasised: "We've seen that we cannot trust the judges in this country."
