You are right. First, Stephen Atuguba is Justice Atuguba's younger brother. Second, they are both NDC. Third, you may recall that when Stephen Atuguba was in Verginia, USA, he was one of the Kusasi guys calling on their brothers in Bawku to kill all Mamprusis. It is not a surprise that this same Atuguba is calling for a civil war in Ghana should NPP win the supreme court case regarding election 2012. Shame on you Atuguba. One would have thought that staying in the USA and being exposed to how democracy works would have made Atuguba to think differently, unfortunately he remains the same Atuguba no matter what.

I earnestly believe that if Kuranchie had been remorseful, both he and Atubiga would have gotten away with only a caution. Atubiga's three days was only to create a sense of equitability in the administration of justice, i.e., if Kuranchie has been sentensed then Atubiga should be sentensed too to deflect any claim of selectiveness. And I blame all that on the fact that Atta Akyea ill-advised Kuranchie.

The gentleman simply became what the Americans often refer to as 'collateral damage'. In fact,Atubiga go the most dressing down,and should have been let off with a stern warning to of good behaviour for a specified period of time,say a year. And for good measure, he should have been made to go rtound his old neighbourhood in Bawku to warn all his kinsmen about the consequencies of strident(y3nte gyae) behaviour. He can across as the most contrite person among the lot,and thus placed himself at the total mercy of the court. I was not surprised at all, and I believe he had he had realized his folly.
Ken Kuranchie, on the other hand came to court,ready to do battle with the Justices,basedon the bad advice he had received from some of these self-conceited lawyers we have in this country,who have deluded themselves for quite a long time that they are the LAW in this country!

And to be certain,he must have gotten advice from a lot more of these so-called 'legal luminaries' than the trio which 'represented' him in court yesterday. Gabby Otchere-Darko fired the opening salvo on JoyFM`s Newsfile programme last Saturday morning by stating rather boldly that Kuranchie had done nothing wrong to warrant his appearance before the panel. And being who he is,Kuranchie felt he was n 'solid' ground,and was going to put in an appearance and have FUN with t the Justices. This is precisely what we all saw in court,and I believe he got off lighly with a mere 10-day sentence!

Misled YES what about Atubiga!!!
Is it not a political prejudice on the part of Justice Atuguba to jail
Atubiga the NDC for only 3 days a person who said NDC will not observe
the rullings of the Supreme Court?
WERE YOU SLEEPING when the judgement was pronounced? By the way, Mr. Ignorant
Myopic, Justice Atuguba alone could not jail Ken. As president of the nine panel members, he also acts as their spokesperson. Justice Atuguba onl ...

Was there any need for a lawyer let alone three? Atta Akyea set the tone for Ken Kuranchie's misconduct yesterday.
He got a lesser punishment because he was smart enough to first apologize to the judges before him. unlike this Kuranchie guy who tried to out smarts 9 judges, that is very stupid.
Did you know that Stephen Atubigah was called Aiex Acolatse during his tstay in the USA. Did you know that he was an NPP cardholder when he was in the USA?
Did you that Steven/Alex was given the beating of his life for goin ...

Stephen Atubigah is way smarter than that idiot called Ken. Fraudster or not, we still love him!
THEY JUST MISLED THE GUY
Ghana is now applying the ethics of its legal system. Well done done SC for upholding the principles of law.
These NPP lawyers have put all their hopes on views and opinions of Pro. Asare, AKA AZAR. Just cast your minds to Gabby Okyere Darko on News File last Saturday. As if he himself has no mind of his own as a lawyer.
The Azar ...

KOFI,HE IS A SMART FRAUDSTER I THINK.
There is no politics in this. Are you blind and death? Ken Kuranchi displayed a high level of arrogance. If you were on the panel, would you have tolerate this? Don't be stupid
The conduct in court of the accused is an influential factor in the judgement of the judges. Learn how to respect authority. Respecting authority is completely different from defending your grounds. When he comes back, he sho ...

Well said Mactonto.
Brilliant submission.good day.
Everywhere in this world irresponsible journalism will land you in jail like ignorant Ken Kuranchie
becos he pleaded
SGT ANANI, YOUR COMMENTS ALWAYS SOUND LIKE AN ILLITERATE. JUST LISTEN TO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, SORRY FOR YOU.
EVERY WISEMAN AND RESPONSIBILE PERSON SHOULD KNOW HOW TO TALK EVEN TO YOUR OWN KIDS ATUBIGAH IS A FOOL AND BRANILESS ONLY TANII CAN SAY THINGS LIKE THAT ON THE RADIO.
BECAUSE HE NOT ARROGANT AND PROUD, FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Its simple, He was remorseful.
You must understand it that Atubiga had shown remorse and had appogized even before his sentence.
You are right. First, Stephen Atuguba is Justice Atuguba's younger brother. Second, they are both NDC. Third, you may recall that when Stephen Atuguba was in Verginia, USA, he was one of the Kusasi guys calling on their brot ...

I earnestly believe that if Kuranchie had been remorseful, both he and Atubiga would have gotten away with only a caution. Atubiga's three days was only to create a sense of equitability in the administration of justice, i.e. ...

I agree with you 100%.
you are very right. Kuranchi has gone to eat his pepper and Atibiga has suffered for nothing
The gentleman simply became what the Americans often refer to as 'collateral damage'. In fact,Atubiga go the most dressing down,and should have been let off with a stern warning to of good behaviour for a specified period of ...

ignorant fool, who told you the CJ has a daughter? do you have someone like atta akyea in your family? green envy will destroy you!!!
why didn't kwasi pratt-all-knowing represent ken?
Atta Akyea only did what he knows and capable of. His knowledge of the law is very limited and shallow. He talks a lot and is arrogant but knows very little and has no humility. Your expectations of him and his friends are to ...

I agree with you Kofi. The judges even tried their best to direct him to be remorseful, look at the results of his arrogance.
you are right my brother
pride is not good,
What do you mean by pride?He wanted an explanation from the justices,and if by so doing he is proven wrong so be it he will learn from it.How can the society grow if we keep mute,his case is even different from Atubiga.
KEN IS TOO KNOWING.HE DESERVE IT.HE WANTED TO BE A HERO,NOW SEE WHERE HE IS
Invitation he expected from the SC?
And to be certain,he must have gotten advice from a lot more of these so-called 'legal luminaries' than the trio which 'represented' him in court yesterday. Gabby Otchere-Darko fired the o ...

Done better for the poor Akyem guy than those so called lawyers. They actually let him down, now we know how too known the NPP people are.
What A Nation?
KURANCHIE'S ARROGANCY CAUSED STEPHEN'S JAILLING.
Peekay I should agree with you there, ; going to same court on same day and time with an arrogant, and unrepentants like Ken, could mar your case on the day.So in order not to be tagged" selective" one more time, the Supreme ...

it is very true that ken's lawyers misled him.I feel sad for him.

Npp quack lawyers representing npp illiterates. Their leader still has not shown us a copy of his law degree n where he obtained it.
What was he thinking at all. He was being foolhardy and yet he considered himself assertive. Journalism has really fallen in this land of ours.
Funny world. rubbing Peter to pay Paul. When MP makes more serious comment he walks away free, when another person expresses his view JAIL TERM.
AKYEA IS NOT A GOOD LAWYER. HE WAS ARROGANT TOWARDS THE JUDGES AND ILL-ADVISED HIS CLIENT. KURANCHIE SHOULD BLAME AKYEA FOR SERVING 10-DAYS IN JAIL. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN EITHER 1 DAY OR AQUITTED.
Atugba has no moral authority to censure anyone when he himself is violating a fundamental and rudimentary judicial ethic and canon which requires a trier of fact to recuse himself from a case in which he has a personal inter ...

Personally I felt so embrassed both for Ken and his lawyer. A strong family head would also sentenced or punished Ken after his jail term. We mistaken arrogance for knowledge.
Our judges erred in law and in common sense. They sat on a case in which they were a party. They also initiated a case in the final court of the land and used the occasion to undermine the powers of the SC. The courts prime d ...

KEN WAS TOO ARROGANT.....HE SHOULD HAVE BEG FROM THE BOTTOM OF HIS HEART AS THE ATUBIGA DID...HE DIDNT SHOW ANY REMORSE..BUT THE SENTENCE SHOULD HAVE BEEN 5 DAYS....KEN WE SOLIDLY BEHIND U IN SPIRIT.....GOD BE WITH YOU....
I fully agree with you comrade! Indeed I am not surprised he was misled by these pompous popinjays of lawyers who ill-advised him to throw the gaunlet at the Judges. Well it should be a lesson for his ilk.

Because of your selfish interest to become the President of Ghana at all cost, innocent people were killed, some molested, and now irresponsibly commentators jailed. Posterity will never forgive you, and what a bad legacy!
Do we have a serious case of conflict of interest in Ghana where a person we is officially tasked to prosecute accused now privately defends accused persons?
One paper reported the 3rd lawyer to be one Mr Kofi Boakye. Who ...

Mediocre Atta Akyea making money on these npp empty heads when they run afoul of the law.
atta akyea could have done better
they should have giving ken too 3 days why 10 days..we knows the lawyer was trying to defend him but it was not the rigth to do that...but no problem is not the end of his life and we are still behind him.
These npp loud mouth people will be consumed very soon by the law. They will now think before they talk and will also know that Ghana is bigger than that tiny elephant they are following.
WHO IS HIM ? NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW. BRAVO SC.THIS IS WHAT WE NEED IN GHANA. IN OVERSEAS THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE. YOU FOLKS OUT THRERE THINKS YOU ARE UNTOUCHABLE
LOOK AT THE NPP AND NDC DOING IN GHANA THEY THINK THEY ARE WHO THERE ARE. LETS ALL REVOULT AGAINST THE DO YOU KNOW ME SYSTEM IN THE COUNTRY

If you are a fool like kuranchie, you always follow foolish people.Kuranchie deserves to be jailed.SIMLPE AND SIMPLE.

Kuranche's doesn't respect that's why they jail him for ten days
Lawyers make it big when they have STUPID clients like that rigbagba (useless)journalist of a sort.

NO TEARS FOR KEN
ATTA AKYEA, MASTER OF MISCHIEF AND FIRST CLASS MISCHIEF PLAYER. HOW MUCH DID KURANCHIE PAY YOU? YOU HAVE MISLED HIM TILL IMPRISONMENT.
YOUR KNOW IT ALL HAS EMBARRASSED YOU BEFORE THE COURT TELECASTED LIVE
This should serve as a lesson to all Ghananians, especially those who for the sake of "something small they will chop" speaks from their stomach.
Sending Ken Kuranchie all out there to be raising questions about technical matters about charge sheets and what-nots rubbed the judges the wrong way. It was a ridiculous strategy Atta Akyea employed for his client
