President John Dramani Mahama has denied any hostility between his government and the judiciary, emphasizing his administration's commitment to collaborating with the legal community.

Speaking on the issue on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, during a meeting with the Ghana Bar Association, Mahama sought to ease tensions by reaffirming that his administration prioritizes working with the judiciary to enhance governance.

“The government is open to working with you, particularly on our side of the political divide. There’s this perception that we have a problem with the legal fraternity and things like that,” Citi Newsroom quoted Mahama as saying.

He cited Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong and other members of his administration as evidence of the government's respect for the judiciary.

The president reiterated that his government holds no animosity toward the legal profession or the judiciary, adding, “We’re not people who have any such animosity towards the judiciary and the legal fraternity. So, our doors are open.”
