There was an NDC Lawyers Conference held on Sunday, 28th August, 2022 and Mr. Kempa believes such event could set a bad precedent in professional circles. He stated that he became afraid hearing the news.

“I became afraid when I heard that,” he said on The Point of View.

“If you do identify yourself that openly, you will lend yourself to all forms of difficulty in practice,” Mr. Kpemka added.

He believes the political grouping was polarising the Ghana Bar Association and “we stand the danger of disintegrating,” he stated.

Mr. Kpemka cautioned that such action could translate to rifts in other fields like medicine, education etc.
“When we begin to polarise professional bodies like the Ghana Bar Association and personalised it because of petty parochial interests… in the long term, we will set ourselves on the brink of professional collapse.”
