Those using strategy to win Justice are lazy and nation wrecker – Prof. Gyampo fires

Political science lecturer at the University of Ghana, Prof. Ransford Gyampo has stressed that those who uses strategy to win Justice aren’t only lazy thinkers, but also nation wrecker.

This comes after a senior member of the New Patriotic Party, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko post on his social media handle praising Justin Amenuvor lawyer for the Electoral Commission in the 2020 election petition. Gabby posted saying, “Tsatsu should simply admit that he’s been outsmarted ! It’s left with populist submission for the ears of party activists”.
This seem not to settle well with Prof. Gyampo hence, he to social media explaining that ” a thinking society must not always pander to norms. We must be able to question and supplant the status quo, particularly if it is not serving any useful purpose. There certainly should be a way of dispute settlement at the courts, that wins both justice and peace. Those who are only experts in fashioning out strategy to win justice, aren’t only lazy thinkers, but are also nation wreckers, as they are well aware that justice without peace can throw a whole nation into chaos. Their victory in securing only justice, should not be worth celebrating by right thinking people in society”.

He quizzed ” in a very polarized country, should we use strategy to win a case or a case must be won on its own merit? Can’t a good case be won without a strategy that outwits and sacrifice peace? Shouldn’t a good or a bad case be based on the principle of “res ipsa loquitur”! (The facts speaking for itself)
In conflict resolution, the deployment of strategy and tactics, may only win justice, but not peace. But justice without peace is like a car without engine”.

Prof Gyampo maintained that In his honest view “we must rethink our overly adversarial adjudicatory system and focus on mechanisms for conflict resolution, that doesn’t deepen polarization, but keeps society together in peace”.
