ATUGUBA said, "highly-placed persons in society have been writing letters to the judges – a practice which is unacceptable in law"! In fact, this is what makes me sick in the stomach!
What is keeping the so-called judges from filing a contempt charges against those who are writing these letters? Is it because the the so-called judges see them as "highly -placed"?
Does the law apply to certain people differently? By so doing, are the judges not violating the laws themselves? What's keeping Ghanaians from calling for the resignation of these judges since their bending the laws to favor the "highly-placed"?
It's about time these stupid morons called judges are hanged from a lamp-post!

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

Npp will soon die and a new party formed in its place. What npp are looking for is to come to power to loot the nation's resources. Npp thinks Ghanaians have soon forgotten when they were stealing gold, money, land and other state properties. Ministers saving government loans in their individual foreign accounts and keeping the interest accrued before releasing the capital to nation's coffers. In fact, the SC is really wasting time that is why these crooks think they still stand a chance. Where on earth have you seen SC removing democratically elected president and putting in a 70 years old drug baron, greedy and arrogant man as president? You have been found out and God will punish you for wasting Ghanaian tax-payers money.

pepeni has taken a few good but woefully incompetent men. so this ndc with all these people and their doctorate degrees , decades of experience and not being new to the business of running a nation could only find a chartered accountant with polytechnic to run the sophisticated affairs of finance and economic planning? the country i agree can never be broke but is only heavily in debt with no future or chance of development due to the chinese. this krobo minister is only trying to balance the books and lacks courage , mental acumen and deep understanding to make the bold decisions required in these challenging times . they are only thieves who are bold and fool hardy courageous when it comes to stealing or looting but to do something good is an abomination to their nature . these are the king of people who if are on your team will make sure you miserably fail not because they plan it but because their burdened in the dark ignorant hearts by their own selfishness . pepeni thinks we blindly hate him but we say we actually see him for what he really is and that is a CAPITAL FOOL who never do anything good for himself to less of the welfare of the ordinary man. pepeni is entrapped by his own self surrounded by incompetence and tribal amateurs who think that by selling us propaganda , ideology and lies they can get by . we say their days are numbered and soon their blood will flow . his friend pepeni the idiot presiding judge will be one of the first punished for their arrogance. God has blinded them from seeing the way forward so we can one day wipe them out from the face of this earth , long live the republic of Akan

Ghana Has Failed – Amoabeng
General News of Saturday, 25 August 2012
Source: Daily Guide

Prince Kofi Amoabeng, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of UT Bank, says Ghana has failed in spite of the recognition of the country as an emerging economy.

He said “truly from what I have seen in the last 50 years I can truly say that Ghana is a failing state. Businesses are not being helped to flourish because of the lack of structure and infrastructural developments.”

He explained that Ghana’s economy has not been in the best shape in the past 50 years and businesses, which are the backbone of any successful economy, continue to be killed by those who have been at the helm over the years.

Mr. Amoabeng disclosed this while speaking on the topic “challenges facing private sector businesses in Ghana” at a forum held to celebrate the 1st anniversary of The Finder, a private newspaper set up by the former Managing Director of Graphic Communication Limited.

He noted that Ghana has not been able to realize its development potential because there is too much corruption and indiscipline in every sector, particularly the public service.

“Because of the structural breakdown, Ghanaians do not feel accountable to anyone and corruption has taken over every aspect of our economy,” he reiterated.

He said in spite of Ghana’s touted democratic credentials, the type of structures and systems that would make Ghana an economic success had not been delivered.

The UT Bank boss called for practical steps to be taken in order to create the enabling environment for businesses to thrive.

Mohammed Awal, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Marble Communications Group, publishes of The Finder, The Weekend Finder and Finder Sports, said the anniversary topic: “Strengthening State Institutions for Private Sector Development” was chosen to highlight the need for the state to play an active role in developing the private sector.

“The state must collaborate with the private sector to encourage development, he said, adding that The Finder was developed to complement journalism in national development and they were committed to producing credible, balance and development-oriented stories.

He announced that the company will next year come out with its business paper and an electronic media house.

Peter Jones, the British High Commissioner to Ghana, said Africa’s private sector had generated an estimated 70 percent of the continent’s output, approximately two-thirds of its investment and 90 percent of employment on the continent.

He added that based on these statistics offered by the African Union (AU), the creation and development of private sector job, is seen as one of the most effective and sustainable strategies for alleviating poverty in Africa.

He said Africa could reduce dependence on foreign aid if the private sector becomes dynamic.

Mr. Jones noted that challenges facing Ghana’s private sector such as high cost of utility, lack of access to information on external markets and inadequate physical infrastructure could be tackled if the sector is given the needed attention.

Paulina I bet you need not to ask this

NDC who are highly placed in our society who knows very well that the ongoing Supreme Court excersises is not going down well with them and as usual, either they are trying to demand some favours from them or threatening them with abduction and
kill as they did to the 3 high court judges sometime ago, that particular
criminal act is still very fresh in the minds of the civilized people of this nation except NDC bunch of criminals and murderers who acted
barbarically to seek power for their own selfish interest.

Asied-Nketia, Dramani Mahama, Yaw Boateng Djan, Michael Dokosi, Koby Fiagbe, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Gbevlo
Lartey, Afari Djan and many NDC whom
for fear of their corruption, stealing, thievery and incompetent
activies are those writting to the
Judges so that perverting the Justice
in court can be averted and go into
the favour of NDC so that their diabolical activities cannot be exposed if NDC are is still on the driving seat.

You have always sided with what is going on and when some of us complain bitterly about the "nonsense" emanating from the supreme court, you don't want to deal with us again.

What Atuguba is saying is this, in Ghana, "four legs good, two legs better" In essence, we have rules for those in highly-placed persons in the society and another rules for a "mere you" ones as he has been saying from the court. This is more than an animal kingdom.

Has he not drawn the touchline weeks ago and found it necessary to charge Ken Kuranchie? Why can't he found it necessary to charge those who are writing him and find it contemptuous?

Or, as a supreme court judge, he believes in "ignorance is an excuse of the law" and that was why he is excusing the highly-placed persons in our society?

What is his excuse for not naming the highly-placed people in the society and what they wrote that he found it to be contemptuous? Did he not name one "Sir John" yesterday and said he is going to deal with him from the paper he has received from Enquirer?

I guess we are still in the jungle, eating bananas and forming Animal Kingdom?

A defendant in a lawsuit involving large sums of money was talking to his lawyer. "If I lose this case, I'll be ruined."

"It's in the judge's hands now," said the lawyer.

"Would it help if I sent the judge a box of cigars?"

"Oh no! This judge is a stickler or ethical behavior. A stunt like that would prejudice him against you. He might even hold you in contempt of court. In fact, you shouldn't even smile at the judge."

Within the course of time, the judge rendered a decision in favor of the defendant. As the defendant left the courthouse, he said to his lawyer, "Thanks for the tip about the cigars. It worked!"

"I'm sure we would have lost the case if you'd sent them."

"But, I did send them."

"What? You did?" said the lawyer, incredulously.

"Yes. That's how we won the case."

"I don't understand," said the lawyer.

"It's easy. I sent the cigars to the judge, but signed the plaintiff's name."

what is this crazy guy who is slowly becoming another Rawlings a power drunk lunatic going on about? Instead sorting out this election petition so the nation can move on, all he is talking about is how omnipotant judges are. Let me tell you, judges are not above critism. Because the BNI is useless thats judges are doing their job for them. The BNi is too political or too tribal and therefore become completely useless. Some of these comments warrant an immediate arrest from the BNI but is unable because the person who made he comment belong to a certain political partyor a certain tribe. They cannot find answers to the various market fires because they are looking to catch people from a particular tribe or political party.

Justice ATUBUGA, you can easily understand now how far we Ghanaians and Africans are far from a modern life and its exigences. People want something and its contrary in the same time. They want democracy but they don't want the foundation of democracy which is the strict respect of law and order. Keep teaching us please and don't mind insults and hatred which are the weapon of illiterates and ignorant people.

Law and order must apply! Do your work you are trained and paid for and ignore any intimidation.

I won't be surprised if it's Mahama who's behind this letter writing to Atuguba, since it's coming from highly-placed persons in society. Secondly he declared that he won the elections cleanly and fairly. As if that was enough, weeks later he said 'my victory was ordained by God'. These are all signs of a worried, confused and desperate man.
Watching live proceedings on TV, doesn't he see imminent danger staring him in the face? He knows the elections were rigged, he knows those 'Godly' claims he makes can't be true, only calling the name of God in vain. That'll come with a punishment.

Will this man called Atuguba be brave enough to crack the whip if this alleged letter writing continues, or is he just making useless noises, sounding hypocritical to create a certain good impression, when he has to concentrate on this matter before the court? I have my doubts, a feeling within me lets me see him as very mischievous. I hope it's not so, because I don't trust him that much. All eyes are watching. But above all, whatever plans God has for this country no man can change it. Pharaoh didn't realise it when he asked the people of Israel to go, released from slavery. When it dawned on him that he'd made a big mistake, he commanded his army to pursue and recapture them, but it was a disaster. God's intervention made it possible for the entire army of Egypt to be swallowed up in the River Nile. This is not a myth, God can turn situations around, let no man fool or deceive himself.

Atugba should be held in contempt for sitting on a case in which his nephew has an interest in the outcome as the Executive Secretary to the President. Even a layman would know this presents an appearance of a conflict of interest and he should have recused himself. His leanings and sympathies are clearly evident as he has been on the dissenting side in every procedural motion filed by the petitioners. He does not have the moral authority to censure or lecture anyone about right and wrong and courtroom etiquette as he has not adhered to basic judicial canons and ethics.May he choke on his tosafi!

This latest development of warning to the Ghanaian public though right in motive is a dangerous signal to the peace of the country!

The Judges must thread cautiously else they would end up hastening the disorder of the the already polarized country.

For goodness sake do they need to react to every single negative comment or barking from the public? Can't they concentrate on the petition case before them to bring it to a speedy end?

And what message are they sending out? "Legal" dictatorship? Very close, mark it!

How on earth can they sit on their stinking asses to sanction the violation of this poor man's human and civil rights?

I hope you will count it no presumption that I seek your leave to address you on behalf of the unborn child. Like that child I can be considered an outsider. I am not an American citizen.

My parents were Albanian. I was born before the First World War in a part of what was not yet, and is no longer, Yugoslavia. In many senses I know what it is like to be without a country. I also know what is like to feel an adopted citizen of other lands. When I was still a young girl I traveled to India. I found my work among the poor and the sick of that nation, and I have lived there ever since.

Since 1950 I have worked with my many sisters from around the world as one of the Missionaries of Charity. Our congregation now has over four hundred foundations in more that one hundred countries, including the United States of America. We have almost five thousand sisters.

We care for those who are often treated as outsiders in their own communities by their own neighbors—the starving, the crippled, the impoverished, and the diseased, from the old woman with a brain tumor in Calcutta to the young man with AIDS in New York City. A special focus of our care are mothers and their children.

This includes mothers who feel pressured to sacrifice their unborn children by want, neglect, despair, and philosophies and government policies that promote the dehumanization of inconvenient human life. And it includes the children themselves, innocent and utterly defenseless, who are at the mercy of those who would deny their humanity.

So, in a sense, my sisters and those we serve are all outsiders together. At the same time, we are supremely conscious of the common bonds of humanity that unite us and transcend national boundaries.

In another sense, no one in the world who prizes liberty and human rights can feel anything but a strong kinship with America. Yours is the one great nation in all of history that was founded on the precept of equal rights and respect for all humankind, for the poorest and weakest of us as well as the richest and strongest.

As your Declaration of Independence put it, in words that have never lost their power to stir the heart: “We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…” A nation founded on these principles holds a sacred trust: to stand as an example to the rest of the world, to climb ever higher in its practical realization of the ideals of human dignity, brotherhood, and mutual respect. Your constant efforts in fulfillment of that mission, far more that your size or your wealth or your military might, have made America an inspiration to all mankind.

It must be recognized that your model was never one of realized perfection, but of ceaseless aspiration. From the outset, for example, America denied the African slave his freedom and human dignity. But in time you righted that wrong, albeit at an incalculable cost in human suffering and loss of life.

Your impetus has almost always been toward a fuller, more all embracing conception and assurance of the rights that your founding fathers recognized as inherent and God-given. Yours has ever been an inclusive, not an exclusive, society. And your steps, though they may have paused or faltered now and then, have been pointed in the right direction and have trod the right path. The task has not always been an easy one, and each new generation has faced its own challenges and temptations. But in a uniquely courageous and inspiring way, America has kept faith.

Yet there has been one infinitely tragic and destructive departure from those American ideals in recent memory. It was this Court's own decision in Roe v. Wade (1973) to exclude the unborn child from the human family. You ruled that a mother, in consultation with her doctor, has broad discretion, guaranteed against infringement by the United States Constitution, to choose to destroy her unborn child.

Your opinion stated that you did not need to “resolve the difficult question of when life begins.” That question is inescapable. If the right to life in an inherent and inalienable right, it must surely exist wherever life exists. No one can deny that the unborn child is a distinct being, that it is human, and that it is alive. It is unjust, therefore, to deprive the unborn child of its fundamental right to life on the basis of its age, size, or condition of dependency.

It was a sad infidelity to America's highest ideals when this Court said that it did not matter, or could not be determined, when the inalienable right to life began for a child in its mother's womb.

America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships.

It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts—a child—as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered domination over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters.

And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners.

Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign.

The Constitutional Court of the Federal Republic of Germany recently ruled that “the unborn child is entitled to its rights to life independently of acceptance by its mother; this is an elementary and inalienable right that emanates from the dignity of the human being.” Americans may feel justly proud that Germany in 1993 was able to recognize the sanctity of human life. You must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to this truth.

I have no new teaching for America. I seek only to recall you to faithfulness to what you once taught the world. Your nation was founded on the proposition—very old as a moral precept, but startling and innovative as a political insight—that human life is a gift of immeasurable worth, and that it deserves, always and everywhere, to be treated with the utmost dignity and respect.

I urge the Court to take the opportunity presented by the petitions in these cases to consider the fundamental question of when human life begins and to declare without equivocation the inalienable rights which it possesses.

Sir, you are absolutely right. Writing a letter on contacting the judge hearing a court case or making any comment on the case whilst in court is seriously prejudicial. Ghanaians need a proper education not only on the law but in many other fields. The problem is that it is the so called half-baked or educated few, the imposters and the insignificants with fake, stolen and fraudulent qualifications who sadly are trying to show that they are significant by spewing irrelevant and nonsense on the radio, newspapers etc into the ears of our people especially, the unfortunate uneducated ones.

Ghana is now a lawless nation. A nation where some group of people can open their mouths and say whatever they want while others cannot even to open his mouth to speak his views. I thought John Mahama and Asiedu Nketiah also should be brought before the SC for continually using contemptous messages about the ongoing election petition case. Is Mahama or Asiedu Nketiah above the law? These judges are getting themselves distracted by unnecessarily getting involve in unnecessary issues. It looks as if they are trying to divert the attention of the nation from the ongoing election petition case. To me it is irrelevant for these judges to be so distracted instead of concentrating on the case after all whatever anyone says has no bearing on the outcome of the case. If the whole nation have to revolt to speak their minds on the ongoing election petition issue, these judges (I am sure not all of them agree with that) cannot contain it; so they should stop these NONSENSE and concentrate on the case because they cannot seal the lips of majority of the people of this nation.

Sure, one needs to stay clear of passing comments on cases running in the court room. However, the issuing of threats to the public is not the option. This approach is likely to serve as a bait to divert the SC attention from the case on to pinning down every Tom Dick and Harry criticizing their work.

How I wish we had a pure and obedient society! And that the Judges are allowed unadulterated peace of mind to expedite work on the case on hand. But the reality sharply contrasts mere wishes. That's too bad!

It's better for the court to commit themselves to a speedy ruling rather than monitoring the talk-shop terrain across the country else the end to the case in court is no where in sight. Reason? Hauling and jailing one lose "talker" will breed another and instead of putting fear in others would rather create a tall list of "offenders", contemner. Jailing one for criticizing them will provoke someone in society to criticize them further and that will spur on the cycle. There will always be some recalcitrant souls in society that's why corrupt officials having full knowledge of how one corrupt person was jailed do even worse things days after knowing the facts.

And who loses? Tension and polarization will deepen. The peace and development of the nation will be hard hit. Not the offender!
