The recent revelation that Dr. Daly, a prominent figure, had fake certificates and was subsequently sacked has sparked a heated debate about accountability and the rule of law in Ghana. What has raised eyebrows is the fact that despite the confirmation of her fake credentials, she has not been arrested and prosecuted.
This situation brings to the fore questions about equality before the law. If individuals in other professions, such as doctors and lawyers, have faced the full weight of the law for similar offenses, why does it seem Dr. Daly is being treated differently? The principle of justice demands that everyone be held to the same standards, regardless of their position or influence.
The lack of action in this case may be perceived as a double standard, which could undermine public trust in the justice system. It is essential for the relevant authorities to provide clarity on this matter and ensure that justice is not only done but seen to be done. The public deserves transparency and consistency in the application of the law.
As Ghana strives to uphold the rule of law and protect its citizens’ trust in institutions, cases like this highlight the importance of fairness and accountability across all levels of society. The outcome of this situation will be closely watched, and it is hoped that justice will be served without fear or favor. Alexander Afriyie
