Rev. Fred Deegbe, Senior Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, has urged lawyers and judges to uphold high standards of integrity and ethics within their profession.
This call was made during his sermon at the Ghana Bar Association’s (GBA) Martyrs Day anniversary celebrations on Sunday, June 30th, 2024.
Rev. Deegbe highlighted the importance of integrity and ethical standards in fostering public trust in the Judiciary, emphasizing that the Judiciary serves as the last hope for the common man and must be perceived as fair, just, and impartial.
He also called on lawyers to name and shame colleagues whose unethical practices tarnish the profession’s image.
The Martyrs Day commemoration by the GBA was attended by dignitaries from the Judiciary, political leaders, and members of the Ghana Bar Association.
The event took place at the Calvary Baptist Church in Shiashie, Accra, marking the 42nd anniversary of the murder of three High Court judges and a retired army officer on June 30th, 1982.
This tragic incident was viewed as an attempt to undermine the country’s democratic institutions and destabilize the government
