The YouTuber denied a call to the Bar, Elorm Ama Governor-Ababio, has taken on the legal establishment over the alleged discrimination against her.

Reacting to Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo seemingly justifying the denial, Governor-Ababio, popularly known as Ama Governor, accused the General Legal Council of baselessly preventing her from being called to the Bar.

She complained in a thread on Twitter that the Chief Justice was contributing to tarnishing her image.

The Chief Justice described the reaction to Governor-Ababio being denied a call to the Bar because of her perceived conduct as surprising.

Governor-Ababio, in response on Twitter, said she was yet to be informed of why she was denied a call to the Bar.

“Respectfully, I am still waiting to be told what my improper conduct was from 6th Nov, 2022 till date. I cannot handle this tarnishing of image and spread of false information about the true facts of the events that took place for much longer. This is cruel.”

Ama Governor's sexuality

There are also concerns that Governor-Ababio is being discriminated against because she is a member of the LGBTQ community.

The YouTuber maintains that this is not a basis for her to be denied a call to the Bar.

“The third ground, which was not challenged as a lie, was that I am queer and that I sleep with women. We argued that while that was blissful fact, it was not a ground on which I should be deemed unfit to be called to the Bar.”
