President John Dramani Mahama has dismissed allegations of tension between his administration and the judiciary, reaffirming his government’s commitment to working collaboratively with the legal fraternity.
Speaking at a meeting with the Ghana Bar Association on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, Mahama addressed perceptions of discord, emphasizing the importance of partnership in strengthening 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,” Mahama stated, dispelling the notion of animosity.
He highlighted the inclusion of individuals like Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong in his administration as evidence of the government’s respect for the judiciary.
President Mahama further assured, “We’re not people who have any such animosity towards the judiciary and the legal fraternity. So our doors are open.”
