Anyway, I congratulate the Petitioners for being able to meet the dead-line for filing their affidavit. The supporting exhibits must be 'certified true copies' which I thought was going to be difficult to provide. For instance the pink copies and other forms could, I thought, could only be "certified true copies" by the second Accused: - the Electoral Commissioner. I wonder how the Petitioners would secure the certification to hang himself?

Good one! Now let the show starts. President Mahama whether has spoiled the name of Ghana and his own. NDC is this way has proved it criminality to the nation by transporting on mass on Gold over Turkey, paying unnecessary millions to Woyome for job undone, letting our water and electricity go collaps and last but not least our education flopped massively.

Not mention, the overwhelming strikes by teachers, doctors, workers all over in country. No president have ever course such a mess to the state before.

Having read the submission by the NPP, I cannot believe the EC and the NDC would stoop so low as to steal our democracy in such a way. If there is documentary evidence that proves the petetion then it is game set and match for NPP. At most it shows huge fraud and at least huge incompetence.

Oh NPP supporters, why have thy let yourselves be taken for fools? As most of you may know, the supreme court has reduced the case to two main issues - whether there was irregularities and if so whether it would have changed the results (benefitted one party over the other)

Looking at the Petitioners arguments, and even assuming that all the irregularities alleged were true, it still does not answer the question how it translates to votes for Mahama and not A. Addo.
That is the crux of the matter and it is pretty obvious that the NPP has made no efforts to answer that question, simply because it devies logic.
My sense is that, as educated as the petitioners claim to be, they arefully aware of this fact, but are just intent on taking their supporters through a charade of illogical allegations just to soothe their passion for violence and pretend anger. I mean it does not take a trained eye to see that their arguments are simply unproven-allegations and even if they were to be proven, will not necessarily translate to a determinative outcome of having benefited Mahama and they know it.

At the end of the day the real losers will be Ghanaians and the Ghanaian economy, having been put through this charade and period of uncertainty, all because of one man's selfish and egocentric desires to succeed where his father failed.

Punish Kpegah – Nana Tells Court
Published on April 8, 2013
Justice Yaonansu Kpegah

Justice Yaonansu Kpegah

Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has described the recent action taken against his integrity by Justice Francis Yaonansu Kpegah as not only frivolous and vexatious, but one unworthy of hearing by the High Court.

He said Justice Kpegah should be punished for his frivolities in instituting the action.

This was contained in a legal response to the issues raised by the retired Justice of the Supreme Court against him; an action which made disturbing headlines and whose motion would be heard on April 23, 2013, according to a notice of motion filed on behalf of the 2012 flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) by Davies & Davies Legal Practitioners & Notaries Public.

In an affidavit supporting his position, Nana Akufo-Addo rubbished the allegation of the retired justice which sought to imply that he is not the bearer of the name which appears in the General Legal Council register of legal practitioners in the country and is therefore an impersonator.

Abuse Of Process

While further regarding the position of the retired justice of the Supreme Court as an abuse of the process of the Court, Nana Addo added that it is devoid of a reasonable cause of action.

“I am further advised by counsel and verily believe same to be true that the Plaintiff’s action fails to canvass facts necessary to form the basis of any issue worthy of a proper hearing by this Honourable Court”, the supporting affidavit stressed.

While rubbishing the position of the retired Supreme Court justice in paragraph 5 of his pleadings that he (Nana Akufo) “was impersonating one W.E.D Akufo-Addo who was called to the Middle Temple on 22nd July, 1971 and is on the Roll of Lawyers in Ghana as No. 1190”, the NPP leader wondered why in another breath of the same pleadings the plaintiff claimed that “the person I am impersonating is not W.E.D Akufo-Addo but rather a certain W.A.D. Akufo-Addo who is also on the same Roll of Lawyers with the same No. 1190.”

The foregone, according to him, smacks of frivolity and founded on mischief, since “I cannot be impersonating two persons with the same number on the same Roll of Lawyers in Ghana.”

Contradiction

Picking what he regarded as another instance of contradiction, Nana Akufo-Addo stressed “that in paragraph 15 of his statement of claim, plaintiff concedes the fact that I, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, was called to the English Bar (Middle Temple) in the same year as the person(s) bearing the no. 1190 on the Roll of Lawyers in Ghana, that he claim I am impersonating.”

The defendant/applicant points out that he is William Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo but has always been known as Nana Addo Dankwa-Akufo-Addo, adding that he has been constantly been referred to in his professional life as Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

“Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and William Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo are one and the same person.”

Professional Career

Regarding his professional career in the supporting affidavit, Nana Akufo-Addo stated that he studied law in England and was duly and specially admitted to the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple, one of the four inns of the Court in England, on January 13, 1969 as William Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Continuing, he explained that on July 22, 1971, after passing the English Bar examination, “I was duly called to the Utter Bar of the Middle Temple and have since been a properly qualified member of that Honourable Society, as admitted to by Plaintiff in paragraph 15 of his statement of claim”.

Post Call Programme

Dismissing the allegation of impersonation, Nana went on to state that upon his return to Ghana, he undertook the post-call law programme required of lawyers who have qualified abroad and was duly called to the local bar on July 8, 1975, as William Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, exhibit of which he attached as Exhibit “NADA 2” being a certificate of the General Legal Council.

“That I have since 1975, been on the Roll of Lawyers in Ghana, always been a lawyer in good standing and was even appointed validly to the office of Attorney-General of the Republic in accordance with Article 88 of the Constitution and other laws of Ghana,” he went on.

Bad Faith

There are several lawyers in the country who he stated do not use the whole of either the names they were christened with or their names as appearing on the Roll of Lawyers in Ghana—a practice which he noted is not unlawful.

The affidavit concluded on a fiery note thus: “The instant action is brought in utter bad faith, inspired by mischief of the deepest dye and a gross abuse of the process of this Honourable Court, and accordingly ought to be struck out” with punitive costs, he added.

The retired Supreme Court justice who provoked a national conversation about the motive for his action, had cynics wondering whether it was politically motivated given the timing.

It is coming on the heels of the commencement of a petition brought against the Electoral Commission by Nana Akufo-Addo, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Jake Otanka Obetsebi-Lamptey at the Supreme Court.

OFFICE OF THE ODIKRO
a companion of the black star!

Who Is W.E.D. Akufo-Addo?

There is something I do not quite get to be right here. Is this entirely about the quality of the reporting, or really what is going on in court? I refrain from any comments on the case, but I cannot refrain from the way the case is being reported. A few weeks ago, we were made to believe via press reports that Justice Kpegah had filled a case against Nana Akufo-Addo:

“According to the plaintiff, the defendant was not known to have changed his name, neither had he been installed anywhere in the country within the meaning of the 1992 Constitution and the Chieftaincy Act.

According to the statement, the defendant was impersonating W.A.D. Akufo-Addo, who is on the roll of lawyers as number 1190.

It said claims by the defendant that he obtained his early education at Government Boys’ School and later Kinbu before proceeding to the UK for his Ordinary and Advanced Level certificates implied that he obtained his Ordinary and Advanced certificates in the UK.

It said Nana Akufo-Addo returned to the UK to read Law and was called to the English Bar (Middle Temple) as Number 1190 on the roll of lawyers in Ghana."

Indeed, there is not a single news story under which the name, “W.E.D. Akufo-Addo” appeared in the petition, so I was taken aback with the subtle change of initials in the legal response to the issues raised by the retired Justice of the Supreme Court against him, read:

“While further regarding the position of the retired Justice of the Supreme Court as an abuse of the process of the court, Nana Akufo-Addo added that it is devoid of a reasonable cause of action.

'I am further advised by counsel and verily believe same to be true that the Plaintiff’s action fails to canvass facts necessary to form the basis of any issue worthy of a proper hearing by this honourable court,' the supporting affidavit stressed.

While rubbishing the position of the retired Supreme Court Justice in paragraph 5 of his pleadings that he (Nana Akufo-Addo) 'was impersonating one W.E.D Akufo-Addo who was called to the middle Temple on 22nd July, 1971 and is on the Roll of Lawyers in Ghana as No.1190”, the NPP leader wondered why in another breath of the same pleadings the plaintiff claimed that “the person I am impersonating is not W.E.D Akufo-Addo who is also on the same roll of lawyers with the same No 1190'.

The foregone, according to him, smacks of frivolity and founded on mischief, since ‘I cannot be impersonating two persons with the same number on the same roll of lawyers in Ghana.”

Is this really what is going on? Is someone deliberately trying to undermine Nana Akufo-Addo with such “errors”? I am inclined to believe that the use of W.E.D. Or W.A.D in the initials of any person necessarily creates grounds for impersonation. Are we by this apparently well-crafted response, being told that indeed, the bearer of both certificate's real name is W.E.D. Akufo-Addo and not W.A.D. Akufo-Addo? Where does that lead us to, if not a vindication of the claims by Justice Kpegah as regards impersonation? Thus, if indeed, this purported response bears such a monumental “typographical error” pregnant with significant connotations, the press need to be aware of the fact that case itself is about an accusation of incompetence as a lawyer on trial for competence, and that such errors, if indeed, they are coming from the press, may easily prejudge the matter, as far as competence is cocerned.

It appears from these news reports that we have two Akufo-Addos in the story. One who goes by the name, W.E.D. Akufo-Addo, and the other who goes by W.A.D. Akufo-Addo. We all know Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo as William Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo. This it comes as a significant surprise to see the same name, W.E.D. Akufo-Addo, twice in the same document filed in court by Nana Akufo Addo's lawyer. According to their own defence, the name of the individual in question as quoted by the plaintiff was WED Akufo Addo. There is no effort seen to be linking WED Akufo-Addo to WAD Akufo-Addo. Should it happen that the name on the roll of register of lawyers in Ghana happens to be W.E.D. Akufo-Addo, as is being claimed by the defence, then Mr. W.A.D. Akufo-Addo has questions to answer, if he is also claiming to be a lawyer. The response begs the question.

Why come up with WED Akufo-Addo's registration on any roll, when the matter is about WAD Akufo-Addo's legal qualifications? Curiously enough, the name in the petition is also W.A.D. Akufo-Addo! Apparently, no one has mentioned W.E.D. Akufo-Addo in the petition, so how the Akufo-Addo team supposedly got it so wrong must remain a mystery. One cannot help but recollect the story “no one has mentioned the name of a dead goat!” Once upon a time, a pregnant goat of the local chief of a village got missing. It grieved him deep in the heart as to bestow a special price for anyone who would help him to catch the thief. Whilst the word was going around the village, the three culprits were enjoying a good hot soup filled to the brim with goat meat, in the forest.

Upon their arrival into the village, they went to the local akpeteshie bar.
“Please, bar man, give me some water to first wash down a good meal”. Said the first goat thief.
“Did we not say we shall not talk about this to anyone?” Asked the second goat thief.
“Did you hear him mention a “dead goat” in what he said?”
The bar man was quick to win the price. He had them all arrested. End of story.

Of course, we now know from the Akufo-Addo defence that “one W.E.D Akufo-Addo... was called to the middle Temple on 22nd July, 1971 and is on the Roll of Lawyers in Ghana as No.1190”. So who is W.E.D. Akufo-Addo? Where does the W.A.D. Akufo-Addo that we know come in into all this? Where is his own number? I think this is a matter of public interest that this becomes incumbent on Nana Akufo-Addo to explain to the press to dispel any misapprehensions arising out of the obvious confusion of first names. According Justice Kpegah in a “MEDIA RED ALERT” he released in reaction to what he called “name calling, castigation on the air waves by paid agents and assigns of NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFO -ADDO or the death threats directed at me and my family”, and vowing these would not “make me renege on my decision to ensure that justice is done,” he wrote:

“1 will be securing an order from the courts directed at the Coroner of Accra to exhume the mortal remains of the dead body that was found under very mysterious and inexplicable circumstances in the Law Chambers of NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFO-ADDO and buried under even more mysterious circumstances. The case must be revisited for all Ghanaians to know what really happened to the victim whose right to life as guaranteed by the 1992 constitution was truncated. Those who aspire to rule this Country must come just as in the Law of equity ‘with clean hands’.”

So the question again, who is W.E.D. Akufo-Addo?
