Member of Parliament for South Dayi,Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has hit back at a senior lawyer and former president of Ghana Bar Association(GBA),Sam Okudzeto after the latter made mockery of him and a colleague for seeking reforms to legal education in the country.
Okudzeto yesterday, made comment to the effect that a move initiated by Dafeamekpor and a colleague lawmaker, Francis Xavier-Sosu MP for Madina to amend the legal profession act, 1960, act 32 to bring reforms to Ghana’s education was a joke.
“If the two MPs, Dafeamekpor and Francis Sosu are lawyers then their understanding of law leaves a lot of questions. I have been a member of the disciplinary committee for a number of years and still there…If I tell you the numbers of complaints the keep coming there.
Responding to the comment of Okudzeto, Dafeamepkor stated that the one-time GBA president Okudzeto did not have a clear appreciation of the powers of the parliament in the general scheme of events.
Reacting to this statement on Ahotor fm, editor of the hawk newspaper, Charles McCarthy says Mr. Okudzeto should be invited to the privileges committee.
