‘Chief Justice Turned Courts into Auction Houses—President’s Suspension Is Ghana’s Judicial Rescue’ – Sinare Punch CJ 

In a powerful post on Facebook, Sinare lashed out at the suspended Chief Justice, accusing her of treating the judicial system like a “personal auction” where justice was dispensed based on who could pay the highest price. He further criticized her for abandoning the values of fairness and impartiality that should define the judicial branch of government.

“For too long, the Chief Justice treated justice like a personal auction—where verdicts felt sold to the highest bidder, and the ordinary Ghanaian was left begging for fairness,” Sinare wrote. He emphasized that the government’s decision to suspend the Chief Justice was not just justified but a timely rescue mission for a judiciary that had been under threat due to her actions.

The suspension of the Chief Justice has generated significant public attention and debate. While some have questioned the timing and rationale behind the decision, Sinare believes that it is a step in the right direction for a country that has long struggled with the erosion of public trust in its legal institutions.

“The judiciary was sinking under the weight of her bias, arrogance, and blatant disregard for the needs of the people. Ghana deserves better, and finally, justice is being served to the one who failed to deliver it,” Sinare stated.

Sinare’s comments reflect a growing frustration among Ghanaians who feel that the judiciary has become increasingly politicized and detached from the needs of the public. For years, accusations of corruption and impartiality have plagued the judicial system, with many believing that powerful figures could influence legal outcomes through connections or financial means.

Supporters of the ruling government, including Sinare, see the suspension as a decisive action to restore public confidence in the country’s legal system and send a strong message that no one is above the law—regardless of their position.

While Sinare’s words were sharp and critical, they reflect a sentiment shared by many who have watched the judiciary’s recent failings with growing concern. For many, the suspension marks a pivotal moment in Ghana’s ongoing efforts to fight corruption and ensure that the law applies equally to all, without favor or bias.
