The Judicial Secretary in a letter said, Chief Justice Kwasi Anin-Yeboah is displeased with statements made by Dr Ayine during a discussion. The Chief Justice has, therefore, petitioned the disciplinary committee of the General Legal Council (GLC) of Ghana to see to the matter. He noted that the Chief Justice will be remembered for instiling fear among lawyers due to this decision. “If the Chief Justice insists that the invitation must be carried out, all that he will be seeking to do will be killing the freedom of speech in the country, especially among lawyers. I mean, the Chief Justice must not turn himself into a crocodile so that any criticism of him will warrant an invitation to the Legal Council.
