During the Ato Forson ambulance case, Judge Afia Serwah Asare-Botwe cautioned NDC's Sammy Gyamfi for his comments on the trial, prompting controversy.
Gyamfi has criticized Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame over accusations by Richard Jakpa, generating public debate.
The judge rebuked Gyamfi for implying judges could be influenced. She emphasized responsible commentary and reminded of the court's authority.
Despite Gyamfi's clarification, the judge warned against such statements. Gyamfi later clarified his remarks were not about the current judge.
The incident underscores the need for discretion in public statements regarding legal proceedings.
