Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has criticized the Supreme Court’s handling of the controversy surrounding the declaration of four parliamentary seats vacant.
He disagreed with the Chief Justice that the case a constitutional one.
Speaking on Ghana Tonight with Alfred Ocansey on October 30, Kpebu described the case as a dispute between Ghana’s major political parties, calling it “an NPP versus NDC case.”
Kpebu questioned the impartiality of the judiciary, especially regarding the inclusion of a justice associated with the NPP in the panel that handled the case.
He contended that such a move risks bias, noting, “It is not right to impanel a justice who is a member of the NPP.”
