Why a whole article on a just little legal move in court? who is desperate here? Such a fuss as if this was a presidential decision of sorts. Running a case is like a going on a journey. there will be bumps on the road and in Ghana, a lot of pot holes to manouvre around and in point of fact you could even find yourself travelling as if you have to be on the left side on the road only to find your way back to the right. Akuffo Addo will win this case. This court case will leave the NDC supporters themselves alarmed so much so that whether Akuffo Addo succeeds him or not Mahama will be so exposed he will be the ridicule of everyone in politics. I be thief k3k3.

DO YOU REFER TO THAT AS MINOR. EVERY LITTLE POINT MATTERS IN LEGAL ISSUES. LOOK, THE POINT OF THE ARTICLE IS THAT, THE NPP AND ITS MASTER NANA ARE INCONSISTENT AND VERY SHAKY IN THE MOVE THEY ARE MAKING.

Theory is that every body from the voter registration to elections procedures to actual balloting to counting to transmission to declaration to Supreme court pannel, has conspired and is conspiring against Nana Addo! What has he done to the people that they will all conspire against him?

Could it be that Ghanaians conspired to vote against him? This same Supreme Court is going to bring their verdict, Hmmmm.

Besides being a real dwarf physically, Nana Addo is an intellectual light weight.

Nana's father sent him to England for his A/Levels and spent a fortune on him. Though Nana did not do well, he managed to get him into Oxford University as a foreign fee paying student. However, he failed in all his papers in the first year in Oxford so the university had to sack him. The old man therefore brought him back to Ghana and got a place for him in Legon. Sadly Nana managed to get only a third class degree after a hard battle with referrals.

So this is all about Nana who is now throwing his weight about as an intellectual with a lot of foresight and vision. But his stint at the AG's Dept exposed the pretender he really is. His incompetence as a lawyer will now be fully exposed to the whole country in this his legal tussle with JM.

What is Gloria Akkuffo saying? The mischief has already been created. These are lawyers who have no respect for their profession and the very head of the judiciary. It is not Atuguba who alone who would feel threatened but her sister in-law Sophia Akuffo and the Chief Justice herself. How I wished the pandora box was opened for the massive revelations Ghanainas would hev beheld. Anyway he fights and runs away would live to fight another day.

I WANT TO KNOW THE ALIGNMENT OF JUSTICE DOTSE AND BAFFOE BONNIE? THIS PORTION OF THE ARTICLE CALLS FOR THIS CLARIFICATION. JUST READ THIS: "Insiders have told this paper that the main reason for the NPP to rescind its decision to object to Justice Atuguba’s membership of the panel is that it feared Justice Jones Dotse and Justice Paul Baffoe Bonnie hence they could both be removed on the grounds of possible bias". I NEED A BIT OF CLARIFICATION ON ISSUES SURROUNDING BAFFOE BONIE AND JUSTICE DOTSE. THERE ARE RUMOURS ALSO ABOUT Justice DOTSE BEING A CARD BEARING MEMBER OF THE NPP. SO IF THE PANDORA BOX IS OPENED WE MAY HAVE TO GET JUDGES FROM OUTSIDE TO SIT ON THAT CASE. WHO IS JUSTICE DOTSE AND BAFFOE BONNIE IN THIS EQUATION OF OBJECTION AND WITHDRAWAL OF OBJECTION BY NANA & CO? PLEASE LET US KNOW.

Baffoe-Bonnie has a brother who works in the president's office while Dotse was a former NPP Regional Executive in Volta Region. It was going to be messy Judge shopping as the lawyers are telling us. At the end of the day there will be none left to hear the petition. I am infomred in such a situation the lower court's or the legal authority's (EC) decision will hold.

Their concerns have not been addressed so how can they be allowed to rescind their decision. The only legal basis for rescinding theior decision is for them to accept that it was unfounded and not because they want an expeditious hearing. Justice cannot be sacrificed at the altar of expediency. They must come up with a formal objection or accept that it was unfounded.

THE EXCUSES GIVEN BY GLORIA AKUFFO FOR THE RESCIND OF THEIR DECISION TO OBJECT TO THE PANEL IS NO ACCEPTABLE. IF SHE SAYS THEIR DECISION IS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY WANT TO AVOID DELAY THEN IT OBVIOUSLY MEANS THAT THEY STILL HOLD IN HEART THE REASONS FOR THEIR EXPRESSED OBJECTIONS. THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD NOT HAVE ACCEPT THAT DECISION TO RESCIND IF IT IS BASED ON THAT FLIMSY REASON OF AVOIDING DELAY. THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO EITHER COME OUT CLEAR THAT THEIR INTENDED OBJECTION HAS NO BASIS OR BE MADE TO COME FORWARD WITH THE OBJECTION. AS IT IS NOW THEY HAVE SUCCEEDED IN POLLUTING THE MIND OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND THE ATMOSPHERE SO AS TO MAKE IT LOOK AS A BIASED JUDGEMENT SHOULD THE COURT RULE UPHOLDING THE APPLICATION OF THE NDC TO BE JOINED IN THE CASE. IT IS ONLY EVIL MINDS THAT WILL SCHEME DEVILISH PLANS THIS WAY TO THROW DUST IN THE EYES OF ITS OWN PEOPLE FOR SELFISH REASONS. (Romanus of Pompei will always say it as it is)

I think this Herald and the NDC team think we are still in elections mood so they are still doing things to score political propaganda points??? How stupid are these people at all? Please think and understand that the Elections are over and we are now in real business oo tom!!! GET IT INTO YOUR EMPTY HEADS. If you don't know some of the tricks in law courts, just wait unti you learn that by that action alone, we exposed your hired justic Atuguba and he was forced to come out openly to declear that you have hired him to sit on the case. Why didn't the other judges talk? He has been exposed, as well as your NDC, so we need not make any official pertition again. This is time for business and not propaganda. Stupid fooooolllllssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why can they not concentrate on fixing the economy and leaving these stupid propaganda behind and for once show us they are a serious bunch. It seems to me they have nothing to offer Ghana and will do anything to defend the crap governance they are presiding over.

A butcher is leaning on the counter toward the close of day when a dog with a basket in its jaws comes pushing through the door.

"An' wot's this then?" he asked. The dog knocks the basket sharply into the butcher's shins.

"You dumb dog." As he reaches down to smack the dog, he notices a note and a ten dollar bill in the basket.

The scribble on the note asks for three pounds of his best mince [ground beef]. The butcher figures this is too easy. He goes to the window and reaches for the dried up stuff that's been sitting out all day.

The dog growls at him. The butcher turns around and, glaring at the pup, gets the best mince from the fridge. Weighing out about 2 1/2 pounds, he drops in on the scale with his thumb.

"Hmmmmm, a bit shy. Who'll know?"

Again, the dog growls menacingly. "Alright, alright," as he throws on a generous half pound. He wraps it out, drops it in the basket, and drops in change from a five. The dog threatens to chew him off at the ankles. Another five goes in the basket.
The butcher is quite impressed and decides to follow the piddy pup home. The dog quickly enters a high-rise buildings, pushes the lift button, enters the lift, and then pushes the button for the 12th floor. The dog walks down the corridor and smartly bangs the basket on the door. The door opens, and the dog's owner screams at the dog.

"Hey, what are you doing? That's a really smart dog you've got there," comments the butcher.

"He's a stupid dog--that's the third time this week he's forgotten his key.

Your behaviour is as intemperate and thoughtless as the pronouncements of some of the NPP leadership.
