Justice Crabbe you sold your conscience when you endorsed Mahama.

So please Justice Crabbe save us the holier than thou attitude. You have contributed immensely to what is ALSO WRONG IN GHANA

Mr Akonfem, my advice to you is that you should make sure with your facts before you commit them to paper. Your assertion that Justice Crabbe drafted the Preventive Detention Act was well off the mark. The PDA was the idea of Georfrey Bing, former British Labour Party Member of Parliament, who was Nkrumah's appointee as Attorney General soon after Ghana's Independence in 1957. Your contribution to the elder Statesman's article is a glaring example of what is wrong with people like you in Ghana some of whom find themselves in the Ghana Parliament. Please give Justice Crabbe a break for he has not sold his conscience but rather trying to call the attention of Ghanaians of what is wrong with society.

Now,need I tell you that rancid butt kissing donkeys of your kind are banned within 50 meter radius of my radar ?

A repeat of such quantum of crass oafishness will leave me with no other option than to give you the maximum sentence.

this is a sorry ass pathetic propaganda piece of work with no hard evidence nor does it properly address the issues. even a primary school boy could do better given the resources the govt and ndc have at their disposal. the rantings of a madman dont make a case no matter how loud he may shout . i will not go into the legal absurdities or poor interpretation of the forensics on this forum rather will just point out one glaring mistake instead of the word omissions he keeps insisting on commissions as he so power drunk from the commissions he receives from everybody be it the turkish gold lebanese , chinese , koreans , iranians or americans GE. this doc or afidavit of ndc is what will sink pepeni and his delay tactic specialist lawyers. muddling through using these buga buga style will not work this time . what a bunch of infantile fools

Periodic elections are not the recipes to sustain democracy. But rather a Constitution. Ghana's democratic experiment is now polarized and it seems to be failing because the 1992 Constituion is not good enough to sustain our democracy. We need to critically examine it and rewrite a new one that will truly give power to the people but not this loose and irresponsible legislature and imperial presidency. Remember the Constitution was crafted under a military regime that did not care to relinquish power to a constutional government. Consultational body made up of some few cronies of that military regime put together the current constitution. 1969, 1979 constitutions respectively were written by a Constituent Assembly. Ghanaians truely elected individuals from the constituencies to form that Assembly to genuinely crafted that constitutions of 1969 and 1979. We need to write an entirely new constitution at this peace time!

Thank you Justice Crabbe ! ALL SINCERE AND RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS see clearly what is going on in the Nation but only FEW are prepared to call a SPADE by it's name as you have done!!
The CONSTITUTION IS DICTATORIAL and we NEED A NEW one.WHY should the President be RESPONSIBLE to APPOINT SO MANY Officials???
A Ceiling to the Nr. of parliamentarians of AT MOST 130,SCRAPPING of the powers of the EC to CONTINUALLY CREATE NEW DISTRICTS,
the Power to the President to appoint ministers ONLY OUTSIDE parliament(NON-MPs)so that we have COMPETENT PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT BE INTERESTED IN everycay politics but CAPABLE,an independent WAGES and LOANS PERMANENT COMMITTEE.
TOO MANY IDIOTS in parliament!and as Pratt said.."some were living like GOATS but as SOON as the enter parliament want A/C and slide windows"
De-centralisation so that District and Regions can ELECT their own Executives!

Money First! Why else would politicians, govt officials(including judges),chiefs,and so-called men of god,enter into an 'unholy alliance' to dupe their fellow citizens, or the state? And the general attitude is that such a state of affairs is okay, and the victims are not from our immediate circle or stable! What a country.

Thanks to Rawlings fake socialist revolution that brought goats, cats, dogs, pig and guinea fowls into political power that violently took the entire nation hostage by the gun only to enrich campus socialist poor rats, like the Kwesi Botweys, Ahwois, Tsatsus, P.V Obengs, E.T Memsahs, Tony Aidoos, and dug a naughty riffraff braggart brat Asiedu Nketia from the bottom of the pit hole and silenced all our respectfully eminently noble men and women with some who bold to stand against the despicable revolution murdered in cold blood.

Ghana the loud and proud mouth piece of African political emancipation, a nation of noble intelligent Pan-African giants and selfless patriotic nationalists we knew is gone.

Thank God for the lives of the likes of Justice V.C.R.A.C Crabbe who still bare witness to horrible political atmosphere these unscrupulous "woyomenized" and criminally corrupt divisive politicians sent poor mother Ghana.

THE POLITICAL POLARIZATION BLAME SHOULD GO ON THE DOOR STEPS OF THE FIRST PRESIDENT KWAME NKRUMAH. HE BROUGHT IN ILLITERATE OPERATIVES TO RUN THE AFFAIRS OF THE COUNTRY AND THE SAME OPERATIONS HAD BEEN REPEATED THROUGH THE YEARS OF THE MILITARY RULE AND NOW IT HAD DESCENDED ON THE NDC WITH A PUPIL TEACHER BEING A SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE NDC, WHO DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT POLITICS , AS WELL AS, GOVERNANCE. WE CAN TAK E LOOK AT BUSIA REGIME WHICH WAS OVERTHROWN BY GEN ACHEAMPONG, A BASIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MILITARY STAFF WHO NEVER BOTHERED TO STUDY ABOUT HOW TO DO POLITICS, BUT HE WAS PUSHED BY THE KWAME NKRUMAH IDEOLOGISTS TO RUN GHANA INTO ECONOMIC DOLDRUMS, AND FROM THAT ON, THE COUNTRY BECAME POLARIZED.

this political groupings the up/pp/npp brought untold hardships on our country. they started this unpatriotic attitude since the days of kwame nkrumah. since these nation wreckers came into our mist, the progress of the country had seriously been damaged by them/ when they succeded in ousting kwame nkrumah in connivance with the cia, they criminalized any body who was seen to be sympathetic towards the cpp. they even put some of the cpp activists in a mobile cage and drove them like zoo animals through out the principal streets of accra. in 2001, after k4 was declared the winner of the elections, his ashanti/akyem mafias behaved as if there had been a coup detat in the country. the late prof attah mills after winning the 2008 elections, tried to unite the country so that polarisation brought into the country by k4 and npp, will be a thing of the past but he was met with all kinds of insults from the npp until he gave up the ghost in dec 2012. if we have these destructive characters in our country, how can one expect to see unity in the country?. they always want to get what mother ghana can give them and not what they can give to ghana mother!

"...when political parties win elections, only party faithful become citizens of the country while others become foreign nationals..." avers Justice Crabbe. This assertion embodies a lot of thinking for us to digest. Even within thevvillages whereby inhabitants use not to care about political issues and what it brings to their daily livelihood, today brings a different interpretation of social achievements when you vote or campaign vigorously for a political party that turns up being the winner.
