Two MPs seek to remove Chief Justice, others from GLC

Two National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs have initiated a private members’ bill to “exclude the Chief Justice as well as other Justices of the Supreme Court from the General Legal Council (GLC)”.

In a memo to the Clerk to Parliament, the two MPs – Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor (representing South Dayi) and Francis-Xavier Sosu (Madina) – said the bill is aimed at redefining “the functions of the GLC and to provide for reforms in legal education such that accredited faculties of law with the requisite facilities would be licensed to run professional law courses, provide for discipline of lawyers and related matters to give effect to Article 37(1) of the 1992 constitution”.
