Nominated to the Supreme Court of Justice, Prof. Henrietta Mensa-Bonsu has commented on the work done by the Justice Commission Emile Short that investigated the violence of the Ayawaso West Wuogon partial elections.
The government, through its White Paper, rejected most of the recommendations made by the commission of inquiry.
The government argued that the report did not address the Commission’s basic terms of reference, therefore its rejection of some of the recommendations.

Professor Henrietta Mensa-Bonsu said that although she wished the government had accepted and implemented the report, its implementation is within the government’s purview.
“When you serve on a Commission to advise the President, the law guides you and the rule says that when you submit your report, you are functus officio. Therefore, it is not your duty to chase people to implement it. It becomes a property that Members of Parliament like you must follow and not the Commission because it no longer exists and, for example, when judges make a decision in court, the judge may actually have sweated on the decision and is going to appeal and it’s reversed, the judge doesn’t go to a press conference to complain. ”
“When you give advice, you expect it to be taken, but what I know about the advice is that those who want it don’t get it and those who need it don’t want it.”
