The National Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has descended on the Majority Leader and Minister for Parliamentary Affairs for saying that the promotion of the Dormahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II, a High Court judge, could be affected because of his criticism of the Supreme Court on the James Gyakye Quayson case.
Speaking in an interview, Sammy Gyamfi said that the statement made by Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu is a threat which is typical of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.
He said that the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government operates like a drug cartel which uses fear to push people into submission.
“You have the majority leader coming out with threats that based on what the Dormaahene has said his promotion could suffer. They (the NPP) operate like a typical Mexican Mafia, their modus operandi is intimidation and threats.
“So, a chief who is also a High Court judge knows the law better than you Osei-Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, makes an appeal in whom the prosecutorial powers of the state are vested; that in my opinion, I think you should enter nolle prosequi in this matter.
“Then you would come and tell the judge, who is a paramount chief that his that your promotion could suffer. Who born dog? Is he not scared? Who do they think they are?” he asked.
The NDC communicator added that the Dormaahene would be promoted because the NPP would not always be in power to stop his promotion.
“So, if you don’t promote him, you Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu will you be in power forever. They should wait and see… by the grace of God, the Dormaahene would be promoted to the place he deserves in the judiciary. No man born of a woman can stop it.
