Legal luminary Professor Stephen Kwaku Asare, known widely as Kwaku Azar, has given backed claims of an apparent return of culture of silence made by  business magnate Sam Jonah.

According to Prof Asare, the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) is silent on the prevalence of injustice but only occasionally talks about issues such as the length of the dresses of women.

He opined that Mr Sam Jonah’s assertions on the culture of silence does not mean that Ghanaians are not allowed to talk or write on social media but that “he is saying that what we say or sometimes do not say is purely driven by convenience, parochialism, hypocrisy and lack of conviction.”

“…there is injustice everywhere but the GBA is hardly heard from except occasionally when it opines on the length of women’s dress…corruption is everywhere but it does not seem to find its way to the Christian Council’s agenda or pulpit…. the academy, which is given academic freedom to be the conscience of society, seems to be receding into oblivion in contradistinction to the military days when its members spoke words that penetrated the halls of power…,” Prof. Asare stated to battles his point.
