Without mincing words, Majority Chief Whip Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has published names of student lawyers admitted to the Ghana School of Law by their political lineage
According to the lawmaker, these individual names are contained in official reports commissioned by the General Legal Council itself.
“We got to know, even some persons that had been admitted to the law school who didn't write the entrance exams at all. Yes, back-door admissions were happening. Scandal,” he said.
The South Dayi lawmaker alleged that the so-called unqualified students are friends and family members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to him, in a video shared on X on June 29, 2026, the revelations emerged following the work of an ad hoc committee set up by the General Legal Council, which reportedly examined concerns about access to legal education in the country.
“The people who were admitted to the law school without writing the exams, some were children of senior people in the NPP. Do you understand my point? So, even at that level, they were playing politics with the school's admission. And they were creating very feeble opportunities for the wards and family members to the detriment of fairness,” he alleged
