Law lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is calling for restraint between the Attorney General and Justice Anthony Oppong.On Monday the judge requested the Chief Justice to transfer the Ya Na murder case to another court.He condemned the A-G’s deputy for alleging on radio that he made prejudicial comments on the case at a drinking bar.Mrs. Betty Mould-Iddrisu condemned his conduct, threatening to report the judge to the chief justice for sanctions.“The judge behaved in an unprofessional manner. It is reprehensible for any judge to use the bench to make such inflammatory statements. And I am taking a very serious view about these comments and I will bring them to the notice of Her Ladyship the Chief Justice at the first possible opportunity.”But Ernest Kofi Abotsi says the two need to be cautious to avoid creating bad blood between the AG’s department and the judicial.“I find developments in the circumstances quite a difficult scenario and I would wish that first of all this charge and the deputy A-G since the matter started that way.“We don’t institutionalize it and make it an A-G’s Department versus the Judiciary. That is problem number one. But problem number two is also to ensure that the damage having already been done, I would respectful wish that the leadership of the institutions involved can actually even have a behind-closed-door discussion and probably bring the ‘warring factions’, for want of a better word, together.”Source: Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
