Dr Stephen Amoah, Member of Parliament for the Nhyiaeso Constituency, has criticised the current government, stating that nothing seems to be functioning under the leadership of John Dramani Mahama.
Speaking at the #SaveTheJudiciaryDemo on May 5, 2025, he accused the government of attempting to revive a past administration that left Ghanaians feeling oppressed.
According to him, there was a time in Ghana when women were physically assaulted, and some were slapped simply for boarding commercial vehicles.
He expressed concern that democracy is no longer effective in the country, warning that the government is setting a dangerous precedent.
"In a country without freedom, without democracy, what happens when someone rapes your daughter especially if you don’t have money?
"There is no law in the country anymore. Is this the democracy we envisioned? We all know that the judiciary holds more power than any other branch of government. This administration is establishing a dangerous precedent in Ghana’s history. They are attempting to reintroduce a past government that allowed soldiers to beat women. So, today, I say, we will not sit back and let them take advantage of us!" he stated.
About the #SaveTheJudiciaryDemo
An alliance of political parties announced plans to stage a demonstration against the ruling government in response to the suspension of Chief Justice, Gertrude Araba Sackey Torkornoo, and the mass dismissal of public service appointees.
The political parties, led by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), including the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), National Democratic Party (NDP), and the People’s National Party (PNP), along with other groups, aim to oppose several actions taking place under the current government.
According to a statement dated Friday, April 25, 2025, and shared by the National Organiser of the NPP, Henry Nana Boakye, the protest aims to mount a strong defense of the country’s constitution and the independence of the judiciary.
