Good morning everyone, delighted to announce that we are currently receiving very good reviews on the National Educational Dialogue and also to report that in the next few days President John Dramani Mahama will be hosting the National Economic Dialogue.

The outcomes of both discussions are expected to reflect in the Budget 2025 and will also help present very positive and realistic proposals for the future of our education system and our economy.
Thank you 🙏

[Justice Srem-Sai @JusticeSremSai]

Kindly join me to present my deepest gratitude to His Excellency, the President, @JDMahama John Dramani Mahama, for designating me for appointment as the Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice of our beloved Republic.

Mr President, your decision is a great honour to me and my people. Equally, I consider my appointment (should Parliament confirm me) as a challenge to me to reflect the revived aspiration of the young people of our beloved nation.

In the words of my teacher and boss, Dr Dominic Ayine (Hon. MP), “Leadership, Justice, Equality and Fairness to all.”

Thank you.

HON AFENYO MARKIN FELL INTO AN ERROR OF LAW IN WRITING TO PREZ ON BoG
——————————————

1. My attention has been drawn to Hon. Afenyo Markin’s letter to His Excellency, John Mahama questioning why the newly appointed Governor of the Central Bank, Dr. Johnson Asiamah went to the BoG to conduct official business yesterday.

2. Let’s set the law. The Prez in pursuance of Art 183(4)(a) of the Constitution appointed Dr Asiamah as BoG boss. The same power is conferred on the Prez by Sec 17(1)(a)of the BoG Act, 2002, Act 612 (as amended by Act 918, 2016.

3. The Council of State is a creature of the Constitution and further enacted into law by Act 1037, 2020. This law provides no formula for offering its advise or ‘manner of delivering its consultation’ to the Prez regarding appointments into public office.

4. There is a distinction between “prior approval” and “in consultation with” phrases as deployed by the framers of the Constitution.

5. As regards the former, Parliament has devolved a procedure to giving effect to that by actually subjecting nominees to what’s called “vetting” by way of screening. The CoS, on the other hand, holds no such “vetting” but I suspect they have a formula for satisfying that ‘in consultation with’ requirement in law.

6. Now, it’s curios that Hon Afenyo Markin is lamenting the official presence of the new Governor at BoG yet he was unable to point to any law that has been breached in that regard.

7. The Hon Afenyo Markin knows that no law has been fouled by the conduct of the new Governor because he litigated this similar matter in 2016 and lost.

In the case of GBA & Ors vrs. AG & Ors [2016] GHA SC 43 (Consolidated suit); Dotse JSC (as he then was) delivering a concurring opinion, had this to say to the Hon Afenyo Markin as Counsel for the Plaintiff in the 1st case:

“In conclusion, I want to reiterate the point that, whilst the President is mandated to seek the advice of the Judicial Council, and consult with the Council of State in the appointment process of Supreme Court Judges with the approval of Parliament, those advisory opinions are not binding on the President”.

8. So it is clear from the above SC decision that, the appointment by Dr. Johnson Asiamah as the new BoG Governor (pending the advise from the CoS though) is a fait accompli, because the SC says any such advise is NOT BINDING ON THE PREZ.

9. Interestingly, even though, the Hon Afenyo Markin says in para 7 of his odd letter to the Prez of the Republic that, the new Governor should refrain from any official engagements, yet the same man suggests that the Governor can receive briefings awaiting confirmation. Que? In what form and manner will any such briefings take? Wouldn’t it be in a meeting? And won’t such meetings be held in BoG premises?

10. So, you see people, this letter was nothing but hot air. He fell into an error of law.

PS:

See below 2 other similar letters issued to appointees in the immediate past which didn’t attract his attention.

Shameless group of hypocrites

[Bright Simons @BBSimons]

The "DHub Thirteen" are a group of activists who have decided that they will use street protests to compel the govt of Ghana to stop illegal & irresponsible mining, in which many politicians are implicated instead of just moaning on social media.

The govt says that they are unruly radicals & wants them jailed. The Ghanaian courts have refused them bail though none of them have committed any crime for which bail is not ordinarily available.

As International attention builds, the DHub 13 seem to have succeeded in their quest to put the govt in the spotlight way more than mainstream activists convening press conferences in Accra.

One of the two frontrunners in the upcoming December polls, realising the popularity of the anti-galamsey protests in general, has called for their immediate release, putting the ruling party candidate in a very tight spot.

Reports that some protesters have been denied medical care will increase interest in the case, even if historically Ghana tends to evade the radar of international human rights groups.

PRESS STATEMENT
For Immediate Release
25th September, 2024.

NDC CONDEMNS MANHANDLING AND REMAND OF DEMOCRACY HUB PROTESTORS, DEMANDS A DISCONTINUANCE OF THEIR PROSECUTION.

1.The National Democratic Congress (NDC), has noted with grave concern the decision by the Accra Circuit Court to remand 28 protestors of the Democracy Hub into Police custody and 11 others into Prison custody at the instance of the despotic Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government.

2.Prior to this decision, officers of the Ghana Police Service had arrested and manhandled several protestors belonging to the group for staging a three-day demonstration against the illegal mining menace which has totally devastated our environment under the watch of the failed Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government.

3.These arrests involved brutalities meted out to innocent unarmed civilians by the Police. Among those arrested were minors, the aged and a four-month-old pregnant woman who was merely taking pictures close to the scene of the demonstration. Another gentleman who was returning from church was equally arrested alongside a host of other innocent bystanders.

https://t.co/ezrDxWdLAs we speak, families and lawyers of several protestors continue to complain about lack of access to their relatives and clients, some of whom have been denied basic necessities such as food and water.

5.The NDC condemns in no uncertain terms the high-handedness of the Ghana Police Service and their evil collaborators in the despotic Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government. It is totally reprehensible for the Police to subject civilian protestors who are merely expressing their anger against the vexed matter of illegal mining, to such barbaric and inhumane treatment.

6.Even more disgusting, is the decision by the Accra Circuit Court to remand the protestors for offenses that are classified as misdemeanors. The right to protest is an inviolable fundamental human right and must not be inhibited by such acts of high-handedness by the Police and the Courts.

https://t.co/WTwb6bJrmY is sad that instead of channelling their energies into stopping the wanton pollution and destruction of our waterbodies, lands and forest reserves, the Ghana Police Service would lend itself as a pliant tool for the suppression of protests against the failed Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP government.

8.We wish to remind the Police and the courts that those who ought to be arrested, remanded and dealt with in accordance with law, are the several irresponsible officials of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government and functionaries of the ruling NPP, who are busy polluting our water bodies and environment with reckless abandon in search of gold. These are the actual criminals who must face the full rigours of the law.

9.The NDC hereby demands the discontinuation of the prosecution of these protestors and their immediate release. The increased spate of illegal mining under the watch of the NPP poses an existential threat to all Ghanaians. Persons who have decided to protest against this menace deserve commendation and encouragement and not custodial punishment.

https://t.co/N8x6LmRZmZ. President, citizens who are merely demanding a stop to the Galamsey menace, in respect of which, you promised to put your “Presidency on the line”, must not become targets of such brazen misuse of power by your government. If you have any conscience left in you, you must immediately instruct your Attorney-General, to enter nolle prosequi in respect of the prosecution of these protestors who are only demanding accountability from you.
