On the occasion of a lively conference, Thursday August 24, 2023, the Bar of Guinea denied the accusations once morest him concerning the organization of the Competition for access to the profession of lawyer (CAPA) in 2021. He threatens to prosecute Abdoul Latif Diallo, the publication director of the dépêcheguinee.com site who published an article entitled “Scandal at the Bar of Guinea: Questionable practices, corruption, forgery in writing brought to light by the 2022 inspection report”.
While a complaint for defamation is filed once morest him before the High Authority for Communication (Hac), Council of the Bar Association is surprised that the colleague continues to claim to hold evidence. “This journalist in question is walking around saying he has evidence. The documents in question are in our possession. He talks regarding the inspection report, we have that too. At least if you want to say things, tell the truth. I cannot conceive that a journalist whose primary mission is to receive information, to cross-check it before broadcasting it, sits in his little corner, because people who are not happy have come to see him, they give him unverified information, and he swings. For me, this one is not a journalist, he is a mercenary of the pen”, hammered Me Mohamed Traoré, former president of the bar.
This national councilor of the transition continues by specifying that the General Inspectorate of the judicial and penitentiary services has no legal attribution to inspect the Bar. “If it was a Bar which receives a subsidy from the State, as it is public money, there, we can take a look to find out how the funds of the taxpayer are used”.
The Bar of Guinea has announced that the decision to initiate legal proceedings once morest the Publication Director of Depecheguinee.Com will be the subject of an official communication.
