Elorm Ababio, a social media influencer, popularly referred to as Ama Governor has gotten a second rejection to join the Ghana Bar.
Last year, the General Legal Council investigated her due to misconduct seen in various videos. The Council allowed her to reapply.
Conversely, the council declined her application again after monitoring her actions.
In a letter dated March 13, 2023, the Council informed Elorm that her attitude played a major role in the rejection.
While the specific reasons weren’t disclosed, her actions were seen as problematic.

The Council specified that Ama Governor can reapply after the October 20, 2023 ceremony but will be under scrutiny.
This decision has lighted up debates about balancing freedom of expression with the ethical standards awaited from legal practitioners.
Legal experts say that lawyers must uphold justice and the rule of law, necessitating an elevated moral character.
Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo was flabergated to see how the public took the news. She said that it is an offensive conduct which is not suitable for the legal sector.
Aspiring lawyers are therefore to maintain high standards in both their private and public lives, especially in this technology age.
Media users received this news in varying ways. Some commended the Council’s act whilst others sympathized with her.
