   I Disagree With You On The Issue Of Packing The Judiciary With NDC Lawyers And Judges....Dr. Hassan Ayariga To JDM.   Your excellency, former president John Mahama, I beg to disagree with you on the issue of packing the judiciary with NDC lawyers and judges to balance the system.  Two wrongs don't make a right Mr. President.

Should they also pack the judiciary with only their party lawyers and judges.  We need to introduce constitutional reforms to make our judiciary more patriotic and independent.  Thank you  Dr. Hassan Ayariga  APC Leader
