YouTuber and law graduate, Ama Governor, who was denied her call to the bar in November 2022, has alleged that she is being used as an "example” of people unworthy of the Ghana Bar in law classes.

She said that this was part of continuous efforts to tarnish her image and spread false information about her, by some people.

In a series of tweets posted on Tuesday, Ama Governor shared how she received a notice from the General Legal Council (GLC) [the body that regulates the legal profession in Ghana], on 6th November 2022, informing her that her call to the bar had been suspended due to a petition filed by a concerned citizen of Ghana on 3rd November 2022.

Ama claims that the petition alleged that she had engaged in improper conduct that tarnished the reputation of the Ghana School of Law (GSL) and that she was queer and slept with women.

She said her lawyer submitted a written legal response to the petition, arguing that the first two grounds were false and based on fabricated evidence and that the third ground was true but irrelevant. She said that she did not deny or hide her queerness, but rather embraced it as part of her identity and expression.

She said that the GLC agreed with her submission and dismissed the petition in the first hearing within 15 minutes. She noted that they did not question her on anything in the petition and that they only asked her two questions in the subsequent hearings before delivering their decision.

However, despite winning the case, Ama said she was still waiting to be told what her improper conduct was from 6th November 2022 till date. She said that she had not committed any crime or misconduct while studying law or after graduating. She said that she was a digital content creator who shared her views on various topics such as feminism, body positivity, sexual liberation, and queerness.

She said that she was not a bad example of people unworthy of the Ghana Bar, but rather a proud and confident woman who had fulfilled all the requirements to be called to the bar, and thus did not recognize the person that some people, were trying to portray her as.

Ama Governor says she is ready to account for every content she has put out on the internet.
