The Big Issue: Democracy, Chief Justice Removal, Free Speech & Mahama’s Reshuffle
#TheBigIssue #ChannelOneNews #GhanaNews #GhanaPolitics #Democracy
This edition of The Big Issue examines some of the major political and constitutional issues shaping Ghana's public discourse.
The panel discusses the controversy surrounding Nana Yaa Jantuah's role as a presidential staffer, with Hamza Suhuyini defending her position as a state appointee regardless of her affiliation with the CPP.
The programme also takes a critical look at the removal of the former Chief Justice, with Dr. Joshua Zaato warning that the development could undermine judicial independence and expose the judiciary to increased political interference. Larry Dogbe, however, argues that the constitutional process should be made more transparent by opening up proceedings currently held in camera.
The panel further debates concerns over the criminalisation of speech in Ghana, with Dr. Zaato and former NPP MP George Mireku Duker raising alarm over arrests linked to free speech and dissent.
The NPP's “Democracy Under Attack” demonstration also comes under scrutiny, with Hamza Suhuyini describing the protest as an exercise in futility, while Duncan Amoah argues that Ghana's democratic institutions remain functional and that accountability should not be equated with political persecution.
The discussion also examines President John Dramani Mahama's latest ministerial reshuffle, including the appointments of Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings and Mahama Ayariga. Hamza Suhuyini defends the competence and records of both nominees while discussing the broader implications of the reshuffle.
