One finds it hard to believe that the unfortunate statements, said to have come from the Judicial Service - and apparently said to have been aimed at the Ghanaian media, are genuine. Massa, no one in Ghanaian officialdom, is beyond criticism, by the public, ooooo. Yooooooo...
With the greatest respect, under our system, respect is earned - and never an automatic-right, for any public sector employee: paid with hapless taxpayers' hard-earned cash, koraaaa, ooooo. We are not serfs. We are citizens - active ones.
Yooooooo...
It is crucial, therefore - for the peace and stability of our homeland Ghana - that the three arms of government, the executive, the legislature and the judiciary, understand clearly, at all material times, that the constitutionally guaranteed right of the media (metaphorically our fourth arm of government), meant to enable them play a watchdog role, for society, by speaking truth to power and holding our leaders to account, on behalf of the masses, is non-negotiable in our system. Full stop. Case closed. As it happens, we all remember the shabby case of a number of corrupt judges, exposed by the brilliant investigative journalist, Anas Amereyaw Anas, ooooo. Who born dog, Massa? Yooooooo...
