Justice Henrrietta Abban, a retired Appeal Court who worked in Ghana’s Lands Commission and further served at the Supreme Court of the Gambia,on Tuesday shed tears uncontrollably after a grimy picture was painted about how deep corruption has eaten into the leadership of our national institutions.
“our whole society is rotten to the core, it goes down, down and there is no one doing things right, but we need the rightful kind of faithful leaders who have compassion for the nation.” she murmured as she paced up sobbing during the inauguration of “Urgent call to Repentance” message. To recall, 22 out of the 34 higher and lower court judges sited in the video footage by Anas Aremeyaw Anas an investigative journalist have been suspended by the Judicial Council.
“Urgent call to Repentance” message was envisioned by Madam Regina Eva Addae an 86-year old lady, who is leading a crusade for personal, church and nation repentance in order to have a revived and restored life for the next generation. As she continued crying, Justice Abban said Madam Addae expressed the belief that socio- economic challenges facing the country is an indication that Ghana had sinned terribly, had lost a generation and is about to lose another.
Allegation of corruption has hit the country’s judiciary, sparking public outrage and drawing high-flying personalities including former presidents Jerry John Rawlings and John Agyekum Kufuor to express worry about its impact on the society.
