Private Legal practitioner, Abraham Amaliba has said that he will not apologise for making the infamous ‘Ghana will burn’ comment.
Lawyer Amaliba has come under intense criticism for saying Ghana will burn if the Chair of the Electoral Commission (EC), Mrs Charlotte Osei, is removed from office.
According to him, the current government is using the system to harass Mrs Osei, a situation he said does not augur well for the stability of the country.
“…What has the woman done? She has declared election results in your favour and so what again do they want from her that they are using the process to harass her?
“Where are the CDDs? Where are the Occupy Ghanas? If it were to be the NDC government all these people would be speaking by now. Where is Emile Short? Where is Professor Martey? This country will burn and we will see where all of us will be and so they should continue doing it,” he said.
He has since been chastised for the comment with many questioning his qualification as a Lawyer.
Reacting to these criticisms on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen on Thursday, Lawyer Amaliba said he won’t apologise for comments he did not make.
According to him, it was the journalist who distorted his statement which rather warned that countries that have traveled such paths have suffered one form of chaos or the other.
“Why should I apologise for comments which I did not make? I only explained to the journalist that if something of that sort happens, then what happens in foreign countries will happen in Ghana.
I then said he the journalist’s house will burn and mine house will burn too…,” he defended.

Peacefm enough of ur hyprocrisy . You've gotten what u wanted so what again do u need from NDC!!!! I wish NDC never used your platform for thier communications. Ithink we need to think abt it.
This really shows that Amaliba is not old in the head even though he claims to be a Lawyer. I pity those who seek his services. Let him know the burning will take place from his backyard and will not extend further than that. That is why he and his NDC are resisting the free SHS so that they can instigate the uneducated youth to follow them blindly.
O..F..U...I ***barred word*** foreigner spewing gabbage and terror on Ghanaian soil. A..N..I..M..A..L!
Ever since bawumia took over the economy all WD hear is taxes, taxes, taxes! Are you alright? Massa , go and scrap the Free zone board the White man is using to Dodge taxes and see the billions this country could get on monthly,
IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE THINKING AND REASONING CAPACITY OF MANY IN NDC. WHAT DO THEY EXPECT THE NPP GOVERNMENT TO DO WHEN THREE TOP OFFICIALS OF EC THEMSELVES HAVE LEVELLED CASES OF CORRUPTION AND IMPROPRIETY AGAINST THEMSELVES AND DEMANDED FOR THE IMPEACHMENT OF ONE ANOTHER. THIS IS EVEN GRAVE WHEN ALL THE THREE FIGHTING OFFICIALS WERE APPOINTED BY THE NDC GOVERNMENT. THE REMOVAL OF ANY OF THE THREE OFFICIAL BY POLITICAL MECHANIZATION WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFICULT. FOR ME IT IS ONLY HAPPENING THEM LIKE IT HAPPENED TO MOGABE AND HIS WIFE GRACE BECAUSE GOD OF JUSTICE AND TRUTHFULNESS INTENDS IT. ALL THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE ONCE GOD UNTIES NO ONE CAN TIE.
A seasoned lawyer would not make such a statement. This should simply tell us the kind of services he provides for his clients. It so sad and worrying if we have such lawyers in our mist.
Difficult people
You are just a twerp
yes ooo because no Ghanaian is so uuglyy like this. Look at the face like he-goat
