The newly elected President of the Upper East Ghana Bar Association (GBA), Lawyer Anthony Namoo, has outlined his vision to promote continuous legal education for members of the association and enhance public understanding of legal issues.
Speaking on A1 Radio, Lawyer Namoo emphasized the evolving nature of the legal profession, stating:
“My role as the new President of the Upper East GBA is to ensure continuous legal education for members, as the law, they normally say, is organic and dynamic.”
Under his leadership, the association plans to implement initiatives to keep legal practitioners abreast of the latest developments and interpretations of the law. Lawyer Namoo believes these efforts will not only strengthen the legal fraternity but also empower its members to serve their communities more effectively.
Beyond supporting the legal community, Lawyer Namoo is keen on engaging the public through educational activities. He highlighted the association’s commitment to initiating programs designed to educate citizens on legal matters, making legal knowledge more accessible, and helping individuals understand their rights and responsibilities under the law.
Reflections on Supreme Court Ruling
Addressing a recent high-profile case involving the Supreme Court and the Speaker of Parliament concerning vacant parliamentary seats, Lawyer Namoo shared his perspective on the judicial process and its implications.
“I was expecting historical analysis to have been provided for clarity on the recent vacancy case brought to the Supreme Court, but due to time constraints, that did not happen. However, the outcome was understandable,” he remarked.
Lawyer Namoo praised the judiciary for offering a platform to address constitutional questions and called on the public to respect the court’s decisions. He also underscored the importance of judicial review in strengthening Ghana’s democracy.
“It is important that the Supreme Court has spoken, and we should appreciate the decision. Of course, an individual is at liberty to test the constitution and the law,” he said, emphasizing the significance of citizens’ rights to seek constitutional interpretations.
