  • SGT ANANI FIADZOE 11 years ago

    Because Kweku Baaku could not pass O/Levels he has great difficulty understanding simple logic. Even UK oes not allow it, so how does a banana republic do that? Even no camera is allowed into UK courts so newspapers have to u ...

    When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, h ...

    OBVIOUSLY THE IMPLICATIONS OF LIVE TELECAST ARE THERE AND MUST BE CONSIDERED. PEOPLE HAVE BECOME VERY SENTIMENTAL AND ARE REACTING IN DIFFERENT WAYS EVEN WELL AHEAD OF THAT HEARING. THE SITUATION THAT A LIVE TELECAST WILL GEN ...

    What's so special about the U.K ? I think you people in London have your minds polluted with archaic colonial thinking, that's why you folks think Ghana should always copy that old crap of a country.

  • SGT ANANI FIADZOE 11 years ago

    Osei, Get this straight into your ugly head that is being disturbed by drugs. Getting close to Nana alone is enough for you to get high via passive smoking.

    CAMERAS WILL GIVE OPPORTUNITY TO LAWYERS TO CONCENTRATE ON IMPRESSING HALF EDUCATED GHANAIANS. IT IS WORTHLESS. AFTER THE EXCHANGES IN COURT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THE,JUDGES GO INTO THE PRIVACY OF THEIR ROOMS AND W ...

  • Kofi Sarpong, Peckham, London 11 years ago

    Why spew out such bile? Is Kweku Baako not a Ghanaian? Does he not reserve the same right, as yourelf, to comment on national issues?

    By the way, do we have to follow everything the UK does? "This has never happened in th ...

    YOU ARE SPEAKING OUT OF IGNORANCE. IT IS DISRESPECTFUL AND BACKWARDNESS TO INSULT A MAN WHO IS DEDICATING HIS TIME TO SERVE THE COUNTRY. PLS STOP BEING BIASED FOR THE SAKE OF THE TRUE PROGRESS OF GHANA.

  • Kofi Amankwaa, London 11 years ago

    I fail to understand or appreciate why the SC has refused the request for a live telecast of this historic case. A live broadcast will not, in my view undermine the credibility of the SC in anyway. It would rather enhance it ...

    I think this is the last straw that broke my back. I give up on Ghana because COMMON SENSE seems to have eluded everyone from the president to the supreme court justices down to the kayayo on the street.

  • KWABENA WARNING.NJ 11 years ago

    And they talk about people talking about the case on radio. Why wouldn't they. If most people see everything live on TV those spin doctors would not have much to talk about cos they saw it live.

  • SENSE PREFECT 11 years ago

    So, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jnr, Editor-in-Chief of the Crusading Guide newspaper, has expressed “surprise” at the Supreme Court’s refusal to allow live telecast of the proceedings? IS KWEKU AFRAID OF THE WAY THE PRESS ...

    How does live coverage enhance transparency, Kweku? It's unfortunate the likes of you have become oopnion leaders, because you own and edit a newspaper which circulates only in Accra. It's only in Ghana that the likes of you ...

    how come a fellow african state was able to telecast live their SC case on election dispute and Ghana which prides itself as the "gateway to africa" is shying away from that.

  • John Kpeglo 11 years ago

    Is Kwako Baako the father and god of the SC of Ghana who should never be "shocked"? Are we serious in Ghana? Why is Kwaku Baako not sitting on the case himself if his opinion and ideas are so supreme and super-human! I think ...

    Someone tell me what the life telecast is going to bring if not draw lazy workers away from work. People like KB who jump from radio station to radio station think it is a passtime event.

  • John Warmann 11 years ago

    I believe a live telecast of the adjudication process would have helped in communication the outcome and forestalled any violence. I hope our SC judge s have a rethink?
