You can Burn the Sea If You don’t Like It - Sammy Gyamfi Fires Back at NPP Over Judicial Appointments
Accra, Ghana - 04 May, 2025 - Ghana's political landscape has been rocked by a scathing attack from Sammy Gyamfi, Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, who has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of hypocrisy and double standards over its criticism of President John Dramani Mahama's recent Supreme Court nominations.
Gyamfi came to the defense of Justice Senyo Dzamefe, one of the nominees, citing his extensive experience in the judiciary, including serving as a State Attorney, Circuit Court Judge, High Court Judge, and Court of Appeal Judge.
Speaking on Joy News on Saturday, May 3, Gyamfi slammed the NPP for what he described as politically motivated inconsistency, pointing out that the party had previously fast-tracked judicial appointments for partisan gains.
He contrasted this with President Mahama's nomination of Justice Dzamefe, which he said was based on merit and a long-standing public service record.
Gyamfi defended the appointments as a necessary step towards restoring credibility within the judicial system, describing them as a correction of past wrongs.
“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 stated.
“And yet these same NPP people are saying that President Mahama has committed haram, a sacrilege, for appointing him.
“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 added.
