A former NDC Member of Parliament for the Akwatia Constituency in the Eastern Region says his new found profession is more “enjoyable” and “interesting” compared to being a lawmaker.
According to Baba Jamal who is now a practicing lawyer, the court room is more ‘interactive’ than the Parliament House – hence, he is not considering a return to the August House anytime soon.
“Since I started practicing as a lawyer officially, I am so happy in the courtroom than Parliament House. Although I miss the place [Parliament house] I enjoy the courtroom more in terms of work and freedom to speak.
“ . . There are more opportunities and time to talk in the courtroom, Parliament is more restricted. So it’s more interesting in the courtroom,” the former NDC MP said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’.
Three years ago, Baba Jamal was called to the bar - his journey started in 2006 when he enrolled on the Bachelor of Laws program at the University of Ghana.
He told NEAT FM’s morning show host, Kwesi Aboagye that - the journey to become a lawyer has been his long time ambition, “It has not been easy.”
To him, his quest now is to be the National Organizer of his party to ensure a victory for the ‘Umbrella’ family in the 2020 election.

I feel sorry for Baba. He doesn't seem to know where he belongs. I wonder what will become of him if he loses his bid to become the organizer for the NDC. I don't think he is just rejecting parliament. Fact is, he doesn't have a constituency.
Mr. Lawyer, how many cases have won so far and how many how adjournments have you requested so far ? Enjoying the court room indeed.
Araba Sey has really changed your life. There is no way you can ever become a Parliamentarian again. You have said it yourself. IT IS FINISHED FOR YOU BYE BYE BABA JAMAL.
How many NDC Lawyers are genuine Lawyers. Tweaaaaaaaa. Woab)nnnnnn. They are all emergency Lawyers
BE WARNED BECAUSE IN THE COURT ROOM, EVIDENCE AND COHERENT ARGUMENT AS WELL AS PROPER PRESENTATION WINS NOT LIES. YOU CANNOT GO AND SAY IF IT IS A GOAT JUST SAY IT IS A FAT COW AND EXPECT TO GET AWAY WITH IT. CAN YOU FEED US WITH YOUR WON CASES SO FAR? ANOTHER DAVID ANNAN, RADIO LAWYER WHO NEVER ARGUES HIS CASE IN COURT BUT ON THE SHOW OF STOMACH JOURNALIST KWAME NKRUMAH TIKESIE.
These guys have used the Tax payers money to become Lawyers. African politics is too rough and self centered. God will punishhh you all. The likes of Fiifi Kwertey, Okudjeto, Baba Jamal etc all used state resources to educate themselves. And now they are talking against Free SHS. God will deal with as He dealt with Sodom and Gomoreal
If you fail to become a chief do not say you resemble an executioner.Daawa
