Elizabeth Ohene writes: Your lordship, justice must also be seen to be done

Your Lordship, the Chief Justice, I have watched the four-minute video clip in which you recount your to some state institutions, particularly the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).

A Chief Justice who publicly declares, in effect, that Ghana sank to its lowest depths under one administration and is now blossoming under another cannot be surprised when citizens wonder whether litigants associated with the unfavoured side should arrive in court armed not only with lawyers and authorities, but perhaps also with life jackets.

I do not doubt that Your Lordship would ensure that a courtroom and, one hopes, an unmistakably impartial judge would be ready to hear the case, so that Ghana might complete its celebrated ascent from the depths.
