Ghanaian politician and Chairperson of the People’s National Party (PNP), Janet Nabla, has strongly criticised President John Dramani Mahama over the signing of the Legal Education Bill.
Speaking on Morning Target on Bullet TV, Janet Nabla argued that the legal profession risks losing its value if the sector is not properly structured to address the welfare and opportunities available to lawyers in the country.
“Law is going to be like kelewele in this country; it is going to become one of the most useless professions,” she stated.
The PNP Chairperson also questioned the perceived prestige associated with the legal profession, claiming many lawyers are struggling financially despite public assumptions about their status.
“I saw the shoes some lawyers were wearing at the court and I questioned why there is so much prestige attached to that work. Lawyers are suffering,” she said.
Janet Nabla’s comments come amid ongoing public discussions surrounding legal education reforms and access to the legal profession in Ghana.
Her remarks on Morning Target have since sparked conversations on the realities of legal practice, unemployment, and conditions within the profession.
