Former Appeals Court judge, Justice Saeed Kwaku Gyan, has expressed his disappointment with the Supreme Court’s handling of the 2020 Election Petition.

He accused the Court of shielding Electoral Commissioner Jean Mensa from being held accountable for her role in the election process.

During a public lecture on “Protecting Our Democracy: The Role of the Judiciary” organized by Solidare Ghana in collaboration with the University of Ghana, Justice Gyan criticized the Court’s decision not to allow Jean Mensa to testify.

He emphasized the importance of accountability and transparency in the democratic process and argued that Jean Mensa should have been allowed to testify to provide an account of the electoral process to the people of Ghana.

Justice Gyan expressed his disappointment with the Supreme Court’s reluctance to hold institutions accountable and suggested that this decision could have long-lasting consequences for the nation.
