Welcome to another Friday Morning. It's been a relatively serene week around the country, with a few notable exceptions of course.

This is the week in which the US Supreme Court passed a ruling making it unlawful for any duly licensed person or institution to refuse to conduct a marriage ceremony for a same sex couple. Ghanaians from all walks of life had their say on this and unsurprisingly, an overwhelming majority were against the concept, and vehemently opposed any potential imposition of these values on our society by superpowers like the USA from whom Ghana receives tons of aid and grants each year.

People's personal views on homosexuality were fascinating. All manner of derogatory descriptions of the lifestyles of gay people were heard on the show, from abomination to mental illness and everything in-between. I am still unsure why people feel so strongly about what some people may do in the confines of their bedrooms. When we talk about paedophiles and rapists on this show, the response is nowhere near as emotional. I guess some sins are greater than others.

This is also the week in which the Ghana Medical Association at the very last minute, extended their ultimatum to government, regarding the establishment of conditions of service. For decades, Doctors in this country have worked without conditions of service. If a pregnant female doctor is to have a baby in the hospital where she has toiled on her feet for years, she would have to pay for it. This week, they threatened to resign en masse if their employer, the Government of Ghana, did not establish conditions of service with them. The day of the ultimatum arrived and… nothing. They postponed it. So I guess the sick members of Ghana Government can heave a sigh of relief.

Also this week, the IMF gave Ghana the so-far-so-good thumbs-up, patted us on the back and gave us a few million dollars' pocket money to go buy ourselves a treat. The second tranche of bailout cash has arrived, and the Finance Minister can put on his cargo pants, stuff the pockets with cash and go make a few statutory payments, I hope. I'll talk to him about it this morning and find out what's on his shopping list.

Yesterday, the Ghana Bar Association came out to clarify the case they had taken to the Supreme Court regarding the Procedure by which the President must appoint judges to the Supreme Court. They insisted that this case had nothing to do with this sitting President, or these two most recently appointed Supreme Court Justices - even though they are all mentioned in their brief, as examples of the wrong way to appoint Supreme Court Judges. They somehow believe that even if the ruling is made in their favour and the current process by which President Mahama appointed the two Justices is found to be faulty, they can somehow prevent anyone else from using their ruling as a precedent to apply for these appointments to be made null and void.

So if I have understood, what they are saying to us is, "we think the President is wrong, but we don't wish to correct it. We are just going to the Supreme Court to use his mistake as a case study to prove our point that we are right and he is wrong. These hypothetical arguments are by no means a waste of our time as lawyers or yours as citizens. Sometimes, we just have to go to the Supreme Court just to prove we know the law. Oh, and nobody should seek to rectify what we see as unconstitutional appointments of Justices to the Supreme Court, because we, the Ghana Bar Association, clothed with our immense power and unlimited free time, have decided to let this unlawful act slide. So Mr President, wo last ara nyen, atse?” Don't you just love some of these lawyers?

Anyway, it's Friday, and it's been a long week. Let's round it up with a massive show. Today, we're having a chat with the Finance minister about the IMF, the World Bank, and fuel prices. Also, on our Relation Conversation, we're asking a very crucial question: Does size matter? Don’t miss it.

My name is Kojo Yankson, and it's been a week of Legal, Medical and Economic Gayness.

GOOD MORNING, GHANAFO!
