Ghanaian YouTuber, Ama Governor has allegedly been denied a call to the Ghana Bar on Friday, November 11, 2022.
According to reports, despite her successful completion of the professional law programme, which included passing her examinations and scoring well in the interview, Ama received a letter from the General Legal Council’s Secretary informing her of the decision.
This was after a complaint by a “concerned citizen,” stating that she “lacks good character” and has breached the Code of Conduct for the students of the Ghana School of Law, and hence, should not be made a lawyer in Ghana.
A copy of the complaint which has been shared on social media, also added that Ama in her YouTube videos has damaged the reputation of the school and should not be allowed to practice.
In addition to the above, the Director of Legal Education at the Ghana School of Law, Mr Yaw Oppong asked the students to submit their social media handles to the Ghana Legal Council for monitoring to ensure that they are of good character.
This has generated a debate on social media and even in traditional media.
Although some support the school’s decision, others signed a petition on social media, demanding justice for Ama Governor.
Elorm Ababio was expected to have the number one spot on the list of Law students who were called to the bar.
Unfortunately, her colleague, Ababio Sandra Owusu secured that spot.
Meanwhile, Ama Governor is yet to speak on the matter and her next line of action.
