Speaking on Oyerepa TV, Professor Marfo questioned the Minority’s silence during the tenure of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, alleging similar or even more troubling actions occurred without protest.
He pointed out that the current Acting Chief Justice, Justice Baffoe-Bonnie, was overlooked for the role under the NPP government, despite being next in line.
Marfo suggested that political bias influenced the appointment decisions during Akufo-Addo’s administration, especially given Justice Baffoe-Bonnie’s perceived alignment with President John Mahama during a notable election petition case.
He also claimed that Baffoe-Bonnie’s wife, Patience Baffoe-Bonnie, now serving as Director General of the Ghana Prison Service, was previously denied the same role for similar political reasons.
The professor argued that such events point to a pattern of politicized decision-making that the Minority previously ignored.
“So, if the Minority is talking about politics and ignoring all these facts, then I can only describe them as hypocrites,” he said.
He further expressed concern over the nature of political discourse in the country, saying, “When people cry as if things are happening to them for the first time, it becomes strange to me.”
