Justice cannot be selective - Miracles Aboagye questions speed of court cases
Dennis Miracles Aboagye, an NPP official in Ghana, has publicly criticized the judiciary for what he perceives as selective justice and political bias. He argues that the court system should remain strictly independent from the executive branch to ensure fair treatment for all cases.
Why it matters
Concerns regarding judicial independence are critical to the health of democratic institutions and public trust in the rule of law.
Dennis Miracles Aboagye, an aspiring National Communications Officer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has raised concerns over what he describes as selective justice in the handling of cases within Ghana’s judicial system.
Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express on Tuesday, Mr Aboagye questioned why some criminal cases are allowed to remain in court for years while others appear to receive faster attention.
His comments come amid ongoing public debate over the relationship between the judiciary and the executive, following concerns raised by some political actors about the pace and handling of high-profile cases.
Mr Aboagye referenced the cases involving former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedinam Tamakloe, and the incarceration of Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, as part of his concerns about what he called unequal treatment.
