A leading contestant for the NPP National Women's leadership, Madam Kate Gyamfuaa, has called for the institution of a national day to celebrate the heroics of the current and former Attorney Generals, Ms. Gloria Akuffo and Madam Marrietta Brew-Appiah Oppong, for their outstanding performance at the ITLOS which resulted in Ghana achieving a historic victory over her neighbour, Ivory Coast.
Ghana scored a significant victory over her neighbour after the Special Chamber at the ITLOS which presided over the Maritime Dispute between Ivory Coast found Ghana of no wrongdoing in the exploration of oil along the single maritime boundary with Ivory Coast.
Led by the two female legal practitioners, Ghana made a strong case before the Special Chamber which ruled that Ghana can continue to engage in exploration of oil at the disputed area, a decision which sent the entire country into wild jubilation.
Following this landmark achievement, a leading contender for NPP National Women's Organizer position, Madam Kate Gyamfuaa believes the two female legal luminaries deserve more than just praises and oral commendations.
Madam Gyamfuaa, who is an advocate for women empowerment, says the victory is one of the single most important achievements for the country, hence the need to honour the two female lawyers for their brevity and excellent exploits.
According to her, a day must be set aside to celebrate them, adding that both the current and future generations will forever be grateful to Ms. Gloria Akuffo and Marrietta Brew-Appiah Oppong.
She noted in an interview that their achievement will continue to serve as a shining example to many more female leaders on the continent in general and Ghana in particular.

We appreciate the efforts and part that these eminent ladies played in the whole court proceedings. Let's not forget that there are countless others who played pivotal roles in this exercise and some of these are not even Ghanaians, as it were. We shouldn't create unnecessary tension by singling out these two veritable ladies, please. We are grateful to the entire team who supervised this exercise and above all, God's intervention on our side as a nation!
***barred word***
This is one of the most sense*less suggestions in recent history. Celebrate them for doing their work? Did they work for free or they were paid? Some of these people parade the corridors of power with such bad proposals. I guess teachers and drivers should be equally celebrated abi?
For what? Just to create more tension between Ghana and Cote d'ivoire. NPP delegates should vote vehemently against this woman.
well said u can even give us arrears of all the years they used to win the case thank you Ghana.
Really, madam? Really? Counsel for a country should be celebrated with a day for what, winning a case? Are we serious in this country of ours? Everything should be given a day of celebration? Today 25th September should be celebrated as the day I first drank coffee then. Why? Because Ijust did. If you have nothing to day, dear madam, ***barred word***. There's no sense in calling for a day to celebrate people who are paid to do what they do, okay? Wake up
