Desist from publishing hateful and offensive statements against judges
Lawyers of the Judicial Service of Ghana have
cautioned all media houses in the country to
desist from publishing hateful, indecent and
offensive statements against judges.

Their concern, they say “arises from the
publication and/or permitting the publication of a
series of incendiary, hateful and offensive
statements, and speeches on their various
platforms against the Justices.

“This concern has been heightened by the flurry
of statements and speeches directed at our
client’s Justices, especially after the
commencement of hearing of the election petition
in the suit intituled John Dramani Mahama v
Electoral Commission & Nana Addo,” the statement
read.

In the letter addressed to all media houses in the
country, the legal counsel noted that publishing
hateful and offensive stories against adjudicators
threaten the democracy and peaceful nature of the
country.
