Bawumia calls for national consensus on Tribunals Bill
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia The Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has joined organised labour and civil society in urging President John Mahama to convene broad national consultations before assenting to the Tribunals Bill, 2026.
He appealed to the President to invite the Ghana Bar Association, lawyers’ groups, organised labour, civil society organisations, political parties, and the Judiciary itself for deliberations.
Organised labour, led by the Trades Union Congress, has called for the Bill to be withdrawn, warning that it could become a tool for weaponising justice delivery.
