Rastafari Council grateful for Achimota School ruling

The Rastafari Council, Ghana (RCG) has expressed profound gratitude for the court ruling favouring the admission of two Rastafari students by the Achimota School.

In a statement expressing gratitude for the decision, the Rastafari Council said "Indeed our ultimate faith in the Constitution of Ghana and the protections guaranteed for the youths was a buffer for us in these trying times."

The RCG assured "the good people of Ghana of our unflinching faith in the rule of law. We would like to assure Ghanaians that we will continue to seek redress to any grievances we may have through due process."

The RCG also expressed its deepest appreciation for the team of lawyers who supported the students' case, led by Lawyer Wayo Ghanamanti.

"In the same breath we also salute Her Lordship Gifty Addo for her fortitude in defending the provisions of the 1992 Constitution.

"We would like to express our joy at the ruling of the Human Rights Commission Court.

"Finally, as we look forward to Tyrone Maghuy and Oheneba Nkrabeah resuming their studies in the school of their choice, it has come to our notice that the school will appeal the case.

"Once again, we are confident that the rule of law will prevail and the Constitution will prove supreme", the statement signed by RCG President, Ahuma Bosco Ocansey, said.
