Freddie Blay, a former National Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has suggested that the Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Dr. Nana Agyemang Badu II, who doubles as a High Court judge, speak for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
His comments are in response to claims by former President Mahama and others that President Akufo-Addo has packed the judicial service with NPP-inclined judges.
In a conversation with Kwesi Parker-Wilson on Oyerepa Breakfast Time, Freddy Blay refuted the claim that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has a reputation for appointing political individuals as judges of Ghana’s superior courts.
Explaining the issue, the former NPP chairman said that if that was the case, such individuals as the Dormaahene should be considered since, in his opinion, even as a judge, he speaks for the NDC.
“I was in parliament with somebody who is a Member of Parliament for the NDC; after he was booted out of parliament, he applied and he joined the judiciary. He is still a member.
“There is the Dormaa judge… The chief speaks for the NDC; he makes utterances for them, and it’s obvious that he speaks for the NDC, and that’s my opinion. I say all his utterances indicate that he supports the NDC,” he stated.
