Emotional Moment on Good Morning Ghana Show as Ablakwa’s Court Exposé Leaves Host in Tears
In a captivating moment on Good Morning Ghana, Member of Parliament Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa stunned viewers with his latest exposé, revealing an unprecedented legal battle involving the Judicial Service of Ghana. The disclosure was so extraordinary that it left the show’s host, Annie Afua Ampofo, in tears of both disbelief and laughter during the live broadcast.
Judicial Service Sues Lands Commission and Attorney General
Ablakwa disclosed that the Judicial Service had filed a lawsuit against multiple entities, including the Lands Commission, Prince Oil Company, and the Attorney General’s office, over the controversial issue of state capture of land and buildings.
What makes the case particularly ironic is that the Judicial Service—responsible for overseeing the courts—is now suing its own institutional counterparts, creating an unusual legal paradox.
“The plaintiff is the Judicial Service of Ghana, and the defendants include the Lands Commission, Prince Oil Company, and the Attorney General. Can you believe this? This is the state we find ourselves in today,”Ablakwa remarked.
Host Breaks Down on Live TV
As Ablakwa recounted the details, host Annie Afua Ampofo struggled to contain her laughter, which soon turned into tears due to the absurdity of the situation. The MP, attempting to maintain his composure, jokingly pleaded, “Annie, don’t do that. I’m trying to keep myself together here.”
Ablakwa Reflects on Past Court Battles
Adding to the irony, Ablakwa shared a personal memory from when he sued former government official Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey over a state bungalow. At the time, he said, the Judicial Service was particularly strict in handling his case. Now, years later, the same institution finds itself embroiled in a legal dispute over state properties, including the very assets linked to that era.
“They didn’t realize that after handling my case, they would one day have to go after his bungalow,”Ablakwa reflected.
National Discussion on State Assets and Accountability
The unusual lawsuit and the emotional live TV moment have sparked intense public debate. Ghanaians are raising questions about the management of state lands and properties, the accountability of high-level officials, and the integrity of state institutions.
As investigations into the alleged capture of state assets continue, the involvement of the Judicial Service itselfhighlights the seriousness of the claims and the far-reaching implications for governance and transparency.
What’s Next?
The nation now awaits further developments as the legal proceedings unfold. This case is poised to test the strength of Ghana’s legal system and raise critical conversations about institutional responsibility and the protection of public resources.
