Lawyer Ace Ankomah has expressed disappointment over the flagrant violation of the country's laws by some members of Government.He said it appears “we reward those who declare non allegiance to the law of Ghana although they swear an oath when they are made ministers.”Speaking on Tarzan's take on Multi TV, Mr Ankomah said it is about the president is held responsible for some of the wayward actions by his subordinates.The lawyer was reacting to comments once made by a senior member of government which apparently was against the passing of the Trokosi Law.“Mr President, when your minister decided to defy the law, what did you do? Ankomah questioned, emphasising that, in many countries “you will not last a minute after such comments. You will be forced to resign.”He pointed out that in some countries, when one is appointed as minister; one signs his or her resignation letter before assuming office.The President only has to put a date and release it when he wants to fire you, meaning you are resigned before you find out.He said on the contrary, it appears that in Ghana, the minister is more powerful than his boss, because of the votes he (minister) can deliver from constituencies during elections.He added that politicians complain when they are punished for getting on the wrong side of the law but unfortunately the NCCE, civil society and Ghanaians generally have failed to acquaint themselves with the laws of the land.
