Our useless university education has produced talkatives who call themselves communication teams. They have no brains and only good at justifying wrong deeds. They justify payment of dubious judgment debts, homosexuality, petty stealing, incompetency,etc. They believe in the archaic 'leadership by trait' mentality as against the the more modern 'leadership by making concept'.They claim leaders in Ghana must be products of Legon, Achimota or from a royal lineage. They are the ones who have finally brought mother Ghana on her knees to the extent that now Ghana imports everything including tooth picks. This is how far our useless university education has brought us.

Since before independence we have been plagued by all sorts of ruthless , vicious and willfully authoritative govts that all have one thing in common , denying the right of free speech and proper analysis of the motives and agendas they seek to keep hidden . Most of these govts were led by people who didnt belong to the majority but rather minority tribes and very marginal political clans . starting with nkrumah who is praised to high heaven but this same oligarchy , he st in motion a climate of fierce political antagonism whereby moderate minds of a liberal persuasion had no business in participating as only the radicals could stand the heat .The MOTIVE , be able to spend without consensus or agreement the wealth of the nation ie in today's jargon chop Ghana money some . This style and system of government was perfected by kwasea rawlings and today we have pepeni whose agenda is finalse the colonization of the majority , the Akans with the assistance of the homicidal ayigbe and the idiot pepefuo . they now use the institution called the supreme court to gag all free thinking individuals so the climate is set to enslave and now steal the oil and gas. they tell us nkrumah was so good so i say to them we hope ghana breaks up and their first presidents are just like him. when we secede we give them all the gold reserves in Switzerland and pay them another 20 billion on top so these ewes and pepefuo are rich and let their nkrumah come and spend that money in 2 years and leave them in debt for 2000 years , that is our revenge . hopefully their first nkrumah presidents are just as manipulative and propagandists so a greater part of that money is used to secure the unity of the universe as thats a very good thing not only african or nigger unity . the rest of the money we graciously leave them should be used in establishing useless unsustainable businesses that only feed other economies and drain their own . yes we wish them well as they have to us for over 60 years . we in the meantime Akans will build a nation truly worthy of our capabilities and potentials with a minimum wage of not less than 10,000 dollars so our beers in our bars are at least 100 dollars so these pepefuo and ayigbe idiots can not afford to visit us just like the Japanese do to their ndc idols the Chinese , long live the republic of Akan

Okoampa-Ahoofe is indeed a fool. The example he gave does not make sense.

To call someone "The Dwarf" is NOT considered "contempt of the court". That is a personal insult directed towards a person, be they a presidential candidate or a common citizen.

Contempt of Court is defined as:

"An act of deliberate disobedience or disregard for the laws, regulations, or decorum of a public authority, such as a court or legislative body".

Individuals may be cited for contempt when they disobey an order, fail to comply with a request, tamper with documents, withhold evidence, interrupt proceedings through their actions or words, or otherwise defy a public authority or hold it up to ridicule and disrespect. The laws and rules governing contempt have developed in a piecemeal fashion over time and give wide discretion to judges and legislative leaders in determining both what constitutes contempt and how it is punished.

There lies the offense Ken Kuranchie committed.

Contempt of court is behavior that opposes or defies the authority, justice, and dignity of the court. Contempt charges may be brought against parties to proceedings; lawyers or other court officers or personnel; jurors; witnesses; or people who insert themselves in a case, such as protesters outside a courtroom. Courts have great leeway in making contempt charges, and thus confusion sometimes exists about the distinctions between types of contempt. Generally, however, contempt proceedings are categorized as civil or criminal, and direct or indirect.

We can't have every tom, dick, and harry hurling insults at the honorable members of the justice system. Kuranchie deserves what he got and let the fargots in jail poke his dirty anus.

Mr so called Junk, please don,t under estimate the professorship of Dr Okoampa Ahoofe jr,simply be,cos you will not like to see eye to eye with him due the truth he writes.I agree with him completely with the present state of abussive language perpetrated by and large from the youth of today as arrogance learnt from the Ex President Rawlence during the {We no go sit down make them cheat we every day} song used as propaganda against the political elites of the day ie, the CPP and the PFP, where they learnt disrespect to authority including their parents which has developed to this gargantuan stage.

Freedom of speech must be protected. Freedom of speech must preclude, for example, a shout in an airplane about a bomb when none exist. Reading these comments, I can easily conclude that Ghanaians are ignorant because they can't discern that the advantages associated with free speech far outweigh the disadvantages. If you want your right to criticize judges and political leaders to be curtailed, you can head for North Korea or Cuba.

There is a latent danger in what this guy is purporting to advocate. The political argument aside, all what this guy is trying to do, as I follow his work, is to gin up fear and tribal hatred among fellow Ghanaians. I call up on a good fellow Ghanaians to be wary of his piece of dangerous work and treat it not only with the contempt it deserves, but a push back to expose him for who he is. He reminds me of the role some individuals played in bringing about the unforgettable destruction in Ruwanda. This must never be allowed to happen again, not in Ghanan or anywhere else for that matter.

The culture of blame must stop, let us not keep crying over spill milk, lets put ourselves together and go on with life. Any one who came to rule Ghana did so in the interest of Ghanaians, but remember not all people will be satisfy at everything. Yes Rawlings has been destructive as compared to now,but at the time he came,he tried his best ,but remember he can't control every inch of the country [physically] representative do what they wanted. Ghana is a blessed country, inhabitants are peace loving,but verbal spikers.let us not use our positions and knowledge to keep polluting the people. I wish we could go back to our real routes, where respect for the elderly is prime. Let us not blame democracy, it means respect me l respect you, and if you disrespect me , l disrespect you back, if that will make me satisfied, forgive you if that is ok with me. Let us not hide under democracy , only to pick and choose.freedom of speech comes with responsibility, inciting and inflammatory statements can't be classified as freedom of speech,destruction of peace. Unfortunately for those of us abroad, not let us impose the western ideology on Ghana, Ghana has no resources to waste on unnecessary lengthy,waste of time freedom of speech debate, just for its shake. ALLAH SAVE GHANA
TOO MANY COOKS BREAK THE POT.

I don't think we can liken the rule of impunity by Rawlings with the exercise of powers by the Supreme Court. The supreme court is establishing a culture of civility, and that is what we are failing to understand. If the radio stations and the print media are unbridled in their speech someone has to call them to order. The regular use of the electronic and print media to castigate any individual or institution is promoting a culture of " indecency, disrespect for authority, impunity, lack of accountability". At best we need to hold the media accountable for what they put out there. We shouldn't expect our children to act civilly when we seem to indulge in the game of hurling insults at each other.
