Deputy Attorney General denies claims of political bias in GBA elections

43views

Deputy Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Alfred Tuah-Yeboah, has dismissed claims that the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) considers political affiliations when electing individuals to serve in its executive roles. These concerns reflect broader anxieties about the politicisation of professional bodies in Ghana, including the GBA.

Addressing journalists during the election of Efua Ghartey as the first female President of the GBA in Kumasi, Tuah-Yeboah called the allegations baseless. He clarified that the GBA prioritizes competence over political leanings.

He explained, “the notion that the GBA is politically driven has no merit. Our members belong to various political parties, but when it comes to elections, we focus on individuals and their qualifications, not their political ties. The Bar has never been run as a political entity, though our members may have political affiliations.”

Tuah-Yeboah emphasized that the GBA remains a non-partisan organization, committed to upholding professionalism within the legal fraternity.
