The directives are in the best interest of all three parties involved in the dispute (NDC, NPP and EC). This is to check time wasting and will have the same effect as if the documents would have been examined one by one.

NPP and EC Attorneys will also use the same method in cross examining witnesses. It therefore applies to all and cannot favour or disadvantage any one party.

The heading of this news report is very inappropriate, misleading and wrong. These are the sorts of media reports that can cause tension and conflict in Ghana. Editors and journalists must be careful with the choice of words when reporting on this SC hearing.

Comment to:
YOU'VE SAID IT ALL

SARPONG, I am assuming it's you signing in as CARDINAL. Of late, LONTO-BOY has disappeared completely from Ghanaweb. I have not seen his comment/s on Ghanaweb for weeks now.

LONTO BOY is a busy guy travelling between Ghana and London and that is why he appears here intermittently.

Kofi, he has not given up on Ghanaweb because given up is for losers and LONTO is a KATAKYIE, and KATAKYIES don't give up. He will be back soon.

Yes NDC, every sane and discerning Ghanaian favours the NPP because they are patriotic and not stealers like you.

Danquah/Dombo/Busiaists don't kill Judges or fellow Ghanaians for fun and know what the law is all about.

Instead of educating yourselves about the law, you rather engage in propaganda and agbadza journalism.

You stealers will soon know what time it is.

Matter of general election; the electoral Commissioner declared that Mahama won; and

- under the legal doctrine of Separation of Powers (Organs of State)the Commissioner's Declaration is final; then

- there pups up a badly written Constitution that says the Party that lost can go to Court; to which i should think is sheer foolishness; and today

- Kwame Nkrumah Ghana reads that there is a Supreme Court with its Chief Justice on its way to say Akufo Ado won; i say

- foolish speculation at its highest

Do you think this is the era of dictatorship? Nkrumah got away with one party system because that was in the 1960s and not in the 2010s. Just sit down and think well. Politics is not soccer where the referee's decision is final. Robbing the mandate of the people can easily destroy the lives of a generation as we are witnessing today from children born under Ashawo-ba JJ's era.

There is this lunatic going wrong using multiple names to write on a lot of social media. She is called variously as Goergette Dede Djaba, Abena fabille, Ama Afrifa, Anena Donkor, Akua Asantewaa. Please, be careful of her. She is a certified mental patient. She is sick, rotten. stinky, derailed, crazy, and nasty.

She is always on radio talking about rubbish. She is "ob)amfo". She has never worked in anybody's office because she is a mental patient. Please run away from her and her dirty, crappy dressing dressing. Nasty piece of work.

Is the notorious criminally NDC who have always said through their idiot knuknlehead retard mosquito man, Asiedu Nketia that the NPP case is crumbling, rather feel the heat that gives their criminal guinea fowl President sleepless night and feel the case crumbling on them as they think the Judges are favoring the NPP?

What ever come at the end of it all, Mahama have to be tried for criminally rigging the 2012 election to set up example for any future politician.

Africans are indeed a different breed of humans. I employed somebody from Central Africa and I was made to understand why the foolish white settlers thought of apartheid.

What effect will broadcasting this case have on the outcome? This case is different from all other cases as I think or as in my opinion. When the President wants to speak or there is an inaugural of a new President it is telecast and the people involved are happy to appear on television. What is wrong with people involved in this case appearing on television so that we see how truthful and inteligent they are to us? Do you want to put a spin on this too?

You are a fool to diagree with the Chief Justice and the panel of justices. ANIMAL!

HOW DID AFARI GYAN ARRIVE AT 23 GHOST CONSTITUENCIES? HOW DID AFARI GYAN CANCEL ELECTIONS AT A POLLING STATION WITHOUT VERIFICATION AND ALLOWED ANOTHER POLLING STATION TO VOTE WITHOUT VERIFICATION? HOW DID AFARI GYAN ALLOW VOTERS TO HAVE MULTIPLE VOTING COUPLED WITH VOTERS TOTALLING MORE THAN THE REGISTER? WE DO THINK THAT NDC SHOULD JUST RECOGNIZE SUCH IRREGULARITIES AND THROW IN THE TOWEL THAN TO SUPPORT THE EC FOR UNEVENTFUL EMBARRASSMENT AT COURT, BECAUSE THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD SEE AND BE SHOCKED AT WHAT AFARI GYAN DID DURING THE ELECTIONS. IF WE WERE ADVISORS OF MAHAMA, WE WOULD HAVE ADVISED HIM TO RESIGN NOW THAN TO FACE AN UPCOMING HUMILIATIONS. KWAKU KYERETWIE KUMASI-KAJETIA......

We Ghanaians who voted want to see, listen, hear and watch proceedings for ourselves lest the likes of Sam George, Sir John, Asiedu Nketiah and co. intepret proceedings as pertaining in court to us, with deliberate twisting of the issues. And also whilst at it, we pray that the issues would be dealt with expeditiously, as per the directive issued, so we can move forward as a country. I would hate to see the the likes of Sam George, Sir John or Asiedu Nketiah, come on air to explain issues in court to me as a Ghanaian, when they have not demonstrated that, they are in anyway intelligent than most Ghanaians are. Live telecast is very much appreciated, the alacrity with which the court wants to get to the bottom of the matter is excellent and we applaud the efforts of our most Esteemed Judges of the SC.

A rather confident young man walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive young woman. He gives her a quick glance, then casually looks at his watch for a moment.

The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?"

"No," he replies, "I just bought this state-of-the-art watch and I was testing it."

Intrigued, the woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?"

"It uses alpha waves to telepathically talk to me," he explains.

"What's it telling you now?", she asks.

"Well, it says that you're not wearing any panties..."

The woman giggles & replies, "Well it must be broken then, because I am wearing pink panties!"

Justice Atuguba is incompetent for this case. First, he was asking why the EC Chairman wasn't in court when he was not supposed to, now he wants this case to be fast tracked by changing the Respondent Mode of Cross-Examining the 2nd Pertitioner. Why did he and the Judges not do their homework properly at closed door before proceeding for the hearing when the Pertitioners served him with the Pink Sheets. Why is Justice Atuguba being sectional when he is aware the Petitioners presented the said Pink Sheets? Well all I can say now is that Justice Atuguba should be carefull with the way he is handling this Case. He is making obvious for everyone to see that he influenced by the Petitioners. That guy should know that he is sitting on a time bomb case. His transparency is the only way he could be safe.

I wondered how long it would be before the NDC and their friends would begin to question the integrity of the Supreme Court so this comes as no surprise. It has been obvious for several days that this is what the comments from NDC spokemen were leading to.

It should be remembered that the panel of Supreme court judges hearing this case is made up of judges nominated to the Supreme Court by the both the NDC and the NPP so their approach to the case can be said to be bi partisan - they are hearing the case not as supporters of any one party but as judges interpreting the evidence against the provisions of the Constitution and the Rules governing to process and procedured relating to the conduct of Presidential and Parliamentary elections.

The fact that the majority of decisions made by the SC in this case have been unanimous despite the political affliation of individual judges speaks volumes.

Leave the Court alone to do it's job!!!

Did his brother in law, the swindler Atta Akyea not appeal to her in 2008 to put an injunction on realising the electoral results so that he could distribute the dead bodies in the Volta Region?
