A Memorial Service for the three High Court Judges who were murdered 42 years ago was yesterday held in Accra with the call on Ghanaians to be guided by the mistakes of the past and say never and never again.
According to Reverend Dr Fred R. Degbee, the Immediate Past Senior Pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, celebrating another occasion of those martyred 42 years ago comes with a grieving heart that is why as a nation we must stand together against its future occurrence.
He indicated that the reason sent by God was the turning point in the country's history else the missing bodies would have been a mystery. "It was to salvage the situation that the legal profession was born to play that critical role in addressing and curbing the integrity crisis," he added. Rev. Degbee urged the need for more legal education and advocacy to enlighten the public on their legal rights and responsibilities, as well as empowering the citizenry to demand integrity from their leaders and advised the legal profession to maintain high ethical standards among its members by invoking rigorous disciplinary measures against those who engage in corrupt practices or unethical behaviour.
