When the ruling is made in favour of them, the claim the Supreme Court judges are good. If it does not favour them, then the judges are not up to standard. Sore losers! I hope the NPP will accept the verdict of this Election Petition because they are never pleased with anything. When they win elections, it is free and fair. But when they lose, then the EC has connived with others.

When the truth arises falsehood falls. Technicalities can help to an extent but when the truth speaks all other voices are silenced. And the truth has got it's compass to locate it's direction to the top even if it is hidden under the deepest sea.Don't worry Tsikata, he is doing his best anyway, except that his best is not enough to challenge the facts in the hands of Bawumia.

AUTHOR: MARTIN A.B.K. AMIDU....

It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution...

Not only Tsatsu but all ewes including Jimme Jimme Rawlings. They are all anibrefo who hates prospering Akans. But there is this Akan proverb which states that "Se wo guare oprako se den ara a obesan akoda dontore mu" Let me tell them that if God did not install them as Kings and for certain reasons they declare themselves as kings, no one wll serve them. Look at your JJ Rawlings, he instolled himself king after murdering the Akufus, the Acheampongs and the Africas and the lawyers and the rest. He ruled how many years and wanted to become the Ghana president for life. Now where is he?????? He is just like a casturated bee. He is always thinking about the Swithzerland jewery store, wo suaaaaaaso JJ.

Tsatsu Tsikata being cut to his size ?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa.

The NDC foolsoldiers claimed the ex-convict with the ant-size brain is a legal luminary.

But now, thanks to courtesy of the Chief Justice, by way of live telecasting of proceedings at the Supreme Court, discerning Ghanaians have now realised why Tsatsu Tsikata caused hundreds of millions of dollars in financial loss to Maaame/Daaavi Ghana.

The ex-convict is running away from the analysis presented by Bawumia and dancing agbadza all day in the court.

It seems your owners have fed you with too many unfertilised eggs today, hence your stupidity level hitting an all-time high.

Do you need to be told that the issue at stake is about the very existence of our democratic dispensation, vis-a-vis free and fair elections ?

And that no sane Ghanaian is interested in a clown of an ex-convict dancing agbadza in court and repeating silly questions and looking for more witness to ask some more silly questions when, courtesy of Afari Gyan, the name of the game is "evidence" ?

Alugu, don't rush, be reminded that the case is yet to start, because the person who was responsible for the questionable election, Afari Gyan, is NEXT to explain himself in the witness box.

Just to remind you; greater brains in the law field have lined up and ready to expose Afari Gyan from inside out: Mr Addison, Osei Bediatuo, Akoto Ampaw, Gloria Akufo, Esilfi, just to name but a few...Scary huh?

If you think that, just after that sub-standard cross examination of ONLY the petitioners' witness, the judges have gathered "enough evidence" as you put it, to rule aginst the petitioners, then you lack what it takes to comment on this issue.

Ignorance has no room here, so I'd advice you to stay back, watch, and pick some knowledge first, before you venture into critical analysis on this case from this forum.

Well Said, Okofo; some ignorant pocket lawyers on ghanaweb too spewing illiterate legal comments not knowing what they are talking about. They take their Tsatsu who was floored and given some legal lessons today by the judges after being mesmerised and enchanted by Bawumia's wizadry in the area of the electoral process.

I cannot wait to see Afari Gyan and Asiedu Nketia in the witness box; let's see how they can cope with the legal brains of NPP lawyers; famous for winning all 19 cases in court against the NDC

I think Martin Hamidu should team up with Bawumiah; both men of integrity will make an awesome pair as Vice President and Attorney General in the next government which will start immediately after the SC judges decide Mahama should step down or after another rerun of the election.

Friends, our young democracy has future. Let all join hands together and fight against small ethnic gangsters who have hold back the wheel of progress of our dear nation. No matter what problems these evil people give us, let us endure and I have hope in our democracy.

We should make sure that they will nor intimedate our judges like they did during their satanic revolution. If it has been Rawlings, the gang leaders time, Tsikata would have got everything he wants. Thank God Almighty that we have good judges who are prepared to do good things for our nation.

Let us all real Ghanaians fight to protect our young democracy so that we can leave better political system for our posterity.

Before & After, remember that before this case began both petitioners and respondents were summoned by the supreme court to come up with how the case should proceed to avoid unnecessary delays, a standard was set and both parties agreed upon. Every one ,thus the respondents and the petitioners were asked each to put their evidence in the form of affidavit and each must provide a witness not after the fact. At the end of the case the judges verdict will be based on the evidence at hand. Ghanaians are watching the whole world is watching too it is not a matter of daily court rulings but the facts at hand or on record so stop this nonsense and be real.

because he is incompetent fool and

His insistence to get his own way and arrogant display of disrespect for others does not make him a great trial lawyer. For him to have the ethical courage to say openly that he cant be compelled to do what the court wishes makes the judge seem weak and displaced - not in charge.

Tsatsu's stumbling struggle to end his lengthy cross examination, the disappointing somber looks of his learned friends and a sigh of relief from the bench, were expressive epitome of time wasted and failure to deliver a punch weighty enough to derail a determined opponent from a position fortified with consistency and youthful resilience. The Bawumian spirit was undoubtedly dominant in a battle of words, repetitious demands for answers and adamant display of arrogant persistency by a counsel whose apparent demeanour exhibited signs of frustration and anger; popular characteristics of senile fatigue.

Tsatsu's digression into a territory reserved for summation quickly subjected him to riducle from the audience and rebuke by the bench. In all indications the scale tilted when he droped his lastwords out of frustration and exhausted facts - but they were words to suggest a come-back for more cross-examination, a distasteful expectation met with chagrin of the audience. How could such an intelligent mind overlook the necessity to wear helmet of facts before jumping into a gruesome legal traffic ? Why must this personality defy all odds to take us beyond horizons of roller-coaster expectations, all in search of tools to defend the indefensible ?

At some point it was hard to believe if this was that long awaited legal luminary, under so much expectation to be armed with some high-tech legal weapons to cause terrifying inferno, enough to make witnesses burn in their seats and make petitioners run helter skelter in search of hiding places. From the looks of events it was a complete disillusion. Tsatsu was such a disappointment that the court room which was initially jammed with his fans in audience when he began mounting a defense settled with half empty seats as he bored them with his pink sheets and humdrum orthodox style of cross examination. In the end he emerged tamed and gored into submission.

Today he is court pleading with hopes to cross-examine vulnerable witnesses with unrelated relevance to the issue at heart. All to redeem his lost glory. Pitiful

I terribly miss Johnny Cochrane : may he rest in peace.

Popularity death, akin to the natural, is a cruel but impartial extractor of giants from heights of admiration : it spares none when its bells toll for an end.

Unless these judges think that they have made up their mind,how can they not refuse to allow witnesses whose evidence the respondents consider to be vital to their case.It is always in the interest of justice that parties in a suit are given equal platforms to advance their case.Even legal luminaries like Tsatsu could be unbalanced by such unfavourable decisions and that reflected subsequently in his approach to the bench.He was obviously infuriated by the decision and was rightly called to order by the judges.

The judges control the court room and sometimes their decisions are made for a reason.No matter how unhappy you are,you must respect their judgment on these matters.Tsatsu was obviously peeved which did not help his reputation today and his attitude could only be described as unfortunate. His case is made and therefore must take his time prosecute the rest.You can't ask for too much.

Funny NDC supporters! If the Supreme Court decides to quash Tsatsu Tsikata's request to cross-examine NPP's polling station agents, does that mean they [SC Justices] have come on the side of the NDC? This is just dreams by NDC. The Court has taken firm control of the proceedings; they won't tolerate any delay tactics by Tsatsu Tsikata anylonger. That's the message which must be clear to NDC and all.

The case before the court is not for jokes; election fraud is a serious matter and nobody should try to make fun about it. Nana Akufo-Addo & Co., are seeking to correct all the wrongs in our electoral system.

Rigging of elections has been a big problem to Ghana, since 1992. When the court finds out that indeed the elections was rigged as a result of the evidence proveded by the petitioners, John Mahama will be asked to vacate the seat of the president.

Election not won. NPP mindset... it must have been rigged! Election won. It must have been the most fair and free election since Adam and Eve's era. Ruling in NPP favor will attract spontaneous praises,I bet, only angels can offer.Ruling not in favor of NPP? Curses reserved for snakes and bashing of the judges will fill the air wherever an element of the party exist!!!So you see a la NPP, elections were free when Busia,and JAK won. Elections were rigged for Limann, John Rawlings, John Attah-Mills,and now John Mahama (the only John accepted is John Kufuor). So if in the unlikely event that we re-run the elections( never mind that Dr. Afari Gyana and the EC will be disquallified a la NPP to conduct any elections in Ghana!) the NPP will denounce the demonization of this illustrious son of mother Ghana and idolize him and give him perhaps the title Oseadiaye!! Or Busumuru or Otumfuo or whatever,Kai Kai!NPP has their own standards, definitions and even qualifications, applying one criterion to themselves and a different ones to others.....and only they are fit to rule and not other Ghanaian parties!!

NDC and all his hyped lawyers have no brain. They feed on lawlessness. NDC has nothing to offer Ghana. Let us all help to plunge them.

Mr Tsatsu, I will advice you to tone down if not you will lose a lot of respect nation wide. People are seen you to be arrogant, disrespectful and abusive.
You always try to fling the court directives and try to do your own thing-(arrogance). Your attitude to the judicial regulations, if a lawyer is on his feet and another lawyer stands up the former is to sit down; is not for Tsatsu- (disrespect). Insulting language should not be used in court yet Tsatsu don't care he continually use them and at times when prompted to withdraw he refuses-(sounding abusive). It was only today, Thursday 15th May 2013 Tsatsu decided to reluctantly withdraw unaccepted word he used in court.

The world would not collapse if NDC etc or Nana and Co. wins or lose this court case.
However, the damage Tsatsu willdo to his image could not be erased easily.
A word to the wise is enough.

I pity the NPP who cannot read the mood of the judges. The judges are in a hurry to throw their case out because it irritates them. that's why they don't want any further delay or even want to get to the buttom

‘Well-behaved’ African leaders rewarded by President Obama
BY JEHRON MUHAMMAD | LAST UPDATED: MAY 10, 2013 - 1:08:07 PM

What's your opinion on this article?

Printer Friendly Page

(FinalCall.com) - Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana’s first president after independence and the person most identified with the creation of the Organization of African Unity, came to disapprove of the way that certain African leaders had abandoned the African revolution. His concern was that they were failing their people by initially “checking with Washington, London and Paris before making decisions,” reported the Daily Mail.
In March “well-behaved African heads of state ... (were) rewarded by Barack Obama with a chance to meet with him in groups of four and have their picture taken with him,” reported Africasacountry.com. “It’s like meeting Beyonce, but you get to call it a state visit.”

And what made matters worse is that they just sat there with folded hands like American subjects, beaming as the president read their accomplishments. “The wider symbolism was unmistakable,” wrote Elliot Ross, “These guys, Obama is saying, work for me. African visitors (unlike other heads of state) can be received in groups, as, they’re all Africans, don’t need to be spoken to individually. Politics? Negotiations? They’re just happy to be here.”

“The essence of neo-colonialism is that the state which is subject to it is, in theory, independent and has all the outward trappings of international sovereignty. In reality, its economic system and thus its political policy is directed from outside.”
—Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah,
The Brookings Institute says these selective meetings with African leaders “not only served to advance American interests in Africa, but also to tacitly communicate the administration’s expectations.”
The president said during the photo-op that the presidents of Senegal, Malawi, Sierra Leone and the prime minister from Cape Verde “exemplify the progress that we’re seeing in Africa.”

Secretary of State John Kerry revealed in April that President Obama is going to Africa. The Obama administration’s position on Africa might be a reaction to this year’s OAU/AU 50th Anniversary celebration, or better yet China’s increasingly large African footprint. No clear Africa policy has emerged during Obama’s second term.

Kerry recently let it be known that in May he plans on attending this year’s AU Summit in Addis Ababa. He also said, without giving details, that Obama also plans to go to Africa.

What is revealing is four months into Kerry’s tenure the State Department, especially its Africa Bureau, appears to still be trying to find its legs.

A large number of senior State Department positions remain vacant, including the Obama administration’s top envoy to Africa post. Ambassador Johnny Carson, assistant secretary of state for African Affairs, retired in March. The post is currently being run by Acting Assistant Secretary Don Yamamoto, a Foreign Service officer. National Security Counsel Senior Director Gayle Smith is rumored to be in the running for the top Africa post. In addition other Africa posts, including the special envoy for Sudan, remain vacant.

ForeignPolicy.com believes Obama and his team “are determined to control it all.” He’s obviously not going to give Kerry the same controls over the State Department that he succumbed to giving Hillary Clinton. “The Cable” blog, which appears on ForeignPolicy.com, included a piece titled “Nobody home at the State Department,” which suggests the “process to fill (senior State Dept. positions) seems indefinitely stalled.”

Whatever this means it doesn’t bode well for developing a cohesive African policy. In March Obama excluded Nigeria, one of Africa’s most influential nation states—also the continent’s most populous—from attending the White House summit. The slight was Obama’s way of registering his displeasure over the recent pardon granted embattled former Bayelsa State Governor D.S.P. Alamieyeseigha.

This was done in face of the fact that, not only does Section 175 of Nigeria’s constitution allow a presidential pardon, but the Council of State advised the president “to grant him (a pardon).” Alamieyeseigha was convicted of stealing and laundering public funds. Not only did he return the stolen funds, according to the Nigerian Vanguard, he also “pleaded guilty and served out his eight year (prison) term.”

Obama’s slight to Nigeria and African leaders falling over themselves for a White House invitation speaks to a divided Africa and to an Africa unwilling or unable to police its own affairs.

Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan addressing 19 African heads of state at the 1993 African African-American Summit in Gabon stated, “We don’t think like free men.” “We go to the capitals of America and Europe, like paupers, (too) weak to demand or ask for what unjust regimes will never give,” he said.

Nkrumah, in his seminal work “Neo-colonialism the last stage of imperialism,” explained how so-called independent states are controlled by outside powers. “The essence of neo-colonialism is that the state which is subject to it is, in theory, independent and has all the outward trappings of international sovereignty. In reality, its economic system and thus its political policy is directed from outside.”

Unless Africa develops its potential power through a unified continent, as advocated by Nkrumah, and gains control of its natural resources, Min. Farrakhan warned, “We will never achieve what we desire for our people … We have the pomp and circumstances of real power, but beneath it there is no real substance.”

He was appointed to the Supreme Court on 6 January 1993 by JJ who is also allegedly a non-Ghanaian. Both are from Togo. Kpegah acted as the Chief Justice of Ghana following the death of George Kingsley Acquah on 25 March 2007 which Kpegah was the brain behind. He thought he would be confirmed as CJ but Nana & Kuffour appointed of Georgina Theodora Wood on 15 June 2007 as the new Chief Justice

Indeed, Tsatsu Tsikata has now become the laughing stock of the nursery and JSS kids, aaaaahhhh. What paaa prompted him to request for the witnesses who had sworn to affidavits as their witness of events, to cross exam them? Is this the legal luminary that these NDC apologists were screaming themselves hoarse over? The evidence is there, every Ghanaian in and outside of the country has seen the evidence, which is clearly, overwhelming. Tsikata cannot be a stumbling block to the voice of the masses and THE TRUTH by jove would PREVAIL.

This so-called law professor, Kojo Tsikata is disgracing himself at the supreme court. Today was really a bad day for him and instead of abandoning his useless cross examination which is leading him to nowhere, he is still contining. At a point in time one of the judges had to warn him today to mind his words after asking him whethere he was angry with himself. There has been so many rulings against him, this Tsikata is losing the case for NDC and I will not be surprised.

If supreme court grants the wishes of THE petitioners ON the following GROUNDS: no signature of presiding officer, same serial numbers of pink sheet, wrong arithmetic on the part of accounting of ballot sheets on the polling stations AND VOTES WERE NULLIFIED/annulled. During the appeal stage by NDC AFTER SUPPREME COURT RULED based on the above grounds, NDC can APPEAL FOR RECOUNTING AND RECOLLATING of votes in the ballot box IF IT FEELS VOTE ACCRUED TO THEM WERE NOT PROPERLY COUNTED AND ACCREDITED TO THEM SINCE WHAT IS CONTENTION IS ABOUT SAME SERIAL NUMBER OF PINK SHEET,NO SIGNATURE,ARITHMETIC ERROR ON THE PART OF EC OFFICER IN ACCOUNTING OF BALLOT PAPERS.
IN THE SAME VEIN, IF ANY PARTY FOUND OUT THAT VOTES ACCREDITED TO A PARTY IS OVER THAN WHAT SHOULD BE GIVEN AT A POLLING STATION CAN REQUEST FROM COURT RECOUNTING AND RECOLLATING.
SUPREME COURT SHOULD ORDER FOR RECOUNTING , RECOLLATING OF VOTES IN THE SEALED BALLOT BOXES TO AVOID THESE IRREGULARITY OF SAME SEIAL NUMBER, NO SIGNATURE, WRONG ARITHMETIC ERROR SO THAT VOTES CAST WOULD REFLECT TRUE STATE OF AFFAIRS AS IT HAPPENED IN PRU PARLIAMENTARY RESULTS IN 2004?a
