In a passionate defence of President Mahama’s nomination of Justice Senyo Dzamefe to the Supreme Court, he claimed that the NPP’s reaction lacked merit and exposed what he described as politically motivated inconsistency in handling judicial matters.

“The problem with the NPP is the duplicity and the hypocrisy they continue to display. That is what I find nauseating in all these discussions,” he said.

Speaking on Joy News on Saturday, May 3, he pointed to the longstanding public service and legal track record of Justice Dzamefe as justification for the appointment.

He stressed that, unlike others who were fast-tracked under the previous administration, Justice Dzamefe had served the judiciary with distinction across multiple decades.

“Justice Senyo Dzamefe served as a State Attorney from 1984 to 1987, was a member of the Regional Tribunal from 1989 to 1996, Circuit Court Judge from 1996 to 2000, High Court Judge from 2000 to 2010, and Court of Appeal Judge from 2010 to 2025,” he outlined.

Despite this extensive experience, the acting CEO expressed concern that the same individuals who once endorsed partisan judicial promotions were now rejecting President Mahama’s well-founded appointment.

“And yet these same NPP people are saying that President Mahama has committed haram, a sacrilege, for appointing him.

“We all know you refused to promote these fine legal minds to the Supreme Court and instead elevated their juniors by as many as 20 years purely for cheap political gains,” he asserted.

Describing the current appointments as a move toward fairness, Sammy Gyamfi defended President Mahama’s actions as necessary for restoring credibility within the judicial system.

“What we are doing now is correcting the wrongs of the past. We are delivering justice to victims of injustice.

“You can burn the sea if you don’t like it. President Mahama will not be remote-controlled by you,” he stated.
