CJ: Ghanaians must boldly defend Constitution
April 30, 2021
The Chief Justice, Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah has urged the citizenry to muster the courage to defend the Constitution at all times.
“We must perform our duties as citizens by working collectively to protect and safeguard the Constitution irrespective of the circumstances in which we find ourselves,” he advised.
The Chief Justice explained that this was necessary since the Constitution espoused the rule of law, freedom of speech and protection of the fundamental human rights of the citizenry needed to transform society for the better.
Justice Yeboah, in a paper delivered on his behalf by Professor Justice Sir Dennis Adjei, an Appeals Court Judge, at the 16th edition of the Re-Akoto Memorial Lectures in Kumasi, said no meaningful development could take place in an environment where the Constitution was flagrantly abused.
