Former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Inusah Fuseini, has condemned Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin for publicly accusing judges of serving the interests of political \u201cpaymasters,\u201d saying the comments scandalised both the lawmaker and the legal profession.<\/p>\n

Speaking on JoyNews\u2019 Newsfile<\/strong> on Saturday, Fuseini, himself a lawyer, said Afenyo-Markin should have followed proper legal channels rather than attacking the judiciary in public.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfenyo-Markin should be on his way to the General Legal Council\u2014not because he\u2019s the Minority Leader, but because he\u2019s a lawyer. He has scandalised himself and his profession,\u201d Mr Fuseini said.<\/p>\n

When asked whether the Minority Leader\u2019s claims could have merit if he possessed evidence of judicial wrongdoing, Mr Fuseini insisted that the correct approach would have been to present those facts formally to the legal disciplinary body.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he has facts about a judge being paid, he should go there to show them. The facts will be his defense. But he cannot scandalise the courts in the way he has done as a lawyer,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Following the Tamale High Court\u2019s annulment of the 2024 parliamentary election in the Kpandai Constituency, which ordered a rerun within 30 days, the Minority Leader, in response, publicly criticised the judiciary, calling their actions \u201cshameful\u201d and accusing judges of acting for political \u2018paymasters\u2019.<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists in Parliament on Wednesday, November 26, he warned that the judiciary\u2019s conduct \u201chas the tendency of destroying our peaceful republic\u201d and said he was ready to face any contempt proceedings.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
