‘It was inappropriate to make that comparison’ – Dr Pumpuni Asante on CJ’s SOE comment

However, Dr Asante, in an interview on JoyNews' Newsfile, believes the comparison was ill-advised, particularly given the current environment and the need to protect public confidence in the administration of justice.“Public confidence is the most important anchor for the administration of justice; if the public loses any faith in the justice delivery, it will be very difficult for it to execute its mandate,” he said.

His comments follow remarks by Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie during a to the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) on Wednesday, September 2, where he praised the performance of MIIF and other public institutions.
