Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata, lead Counsel for the National Democratic Congress in the ongoing election petition filed by three leading members of the New Patriotic Party, is certainly one of the most brilliant personalities of our generation. That is without question.

At the age of nine, he was a student of the prestigious Mfantsipim School in Cape Coast. Five years later, he was at the University of Ghana, Legon, going through the paces that would qualify him for the first degree in law.

When he graduated from the nation’s premier institute of higher learning with LLB, he was barely 18, the age when most Ghanaians were in their first or second year at the secondary school. At the University of Ghana, where he was lecturer in law until the coup of December 1981, he was adored by his students.

With Jerry John Rawlings in the saddle after the December 31 coup d’etat, Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata, born at Keta in the Volta Region in December 1950, became one of the advisers to the Chairman of the Provisional National Defence Council, and thus one of the most powerful men in this land of our birth.

On June 18, 2008, Mr. Tsikata was sentenced to a five year jail term, for willfully causing financial loss to the state. He was said to have guaranteed a loan of GH¢230,000 of state money to Valley Farms, a private venture, from funds provided by Caisse Central, now Agence Française de Development in 1993, while he was Chief Executive of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation.

Barely five months later, Mr. Tsikata was released, pardoned by then President John Agyekum Kufuor. Last week, on the fifth anniversary of his incarceration, the former Chief Executive of GNPC celebrated his release by issuing a press statement. State-run Daily Graphic published the piece titled “Five Years On – His mercies never fail.” The article featured in almost all the newspapers, classified by Mr. Martin Amidu, former Attorney-General, as “Criminally-rented NDC press.”

Mr. Tsikata saw his release after barely five months in prison as a miracle. “Five years ago,” wrote Mr. Tsikata, “on June 18, 2008, a judge, without any advance indication that she was going to deliver judgment, pronounced a sentence of five years imprisonment on me.

“I was taken that afternoon to the Nsawam Medium Security Prison to begin serving my sentence. Within five months of that day, however, I was out of prison and alive in circumstances that were nothing short of a miracle,” he wrote.

In brief, Mr. Tsikata was telling the world that prison conditions were horrible. He suffered an asthmatic attack on the night the doors of the prison gates were shut behind him. “I could hardly breathe. In that state, it was not possible to lie to sleep. I sat on a chair by my bed breaking out into a sweat…Only the grace of God kept me through those hours of the night of Saturday, November 15.”

We thank God for the life of Mr. Tsikata. Unfortunately, not many of those brutalised by the junta he lent support to and advised, were given the opportunity Mr. Tsikata was allowed.

The trial judge might not have waited for the lead counsel before ruling on the case. But every Ghanaian knows that Mr. Tsikata was given every opportunity to prove his innocence in a case that dragged on for nearly six years in various courts.

The eight top officials executed in June 1979, when he was a leading adviser to Jerry Rawlings, were never given a day’s notice to argue their cases. When Air Vice-Marshall Joy Amedume was tied to the stakes and executed for borrowing ¢50,000 (GH¢5) nobody gave him the chance to prove that he had collateral to back his demand. He was alleged to have used his influence, and that was it.

On June 30 1982, three judges and an army officer were taken away from their places of abode, with a curfew in force, and executed at the Bundase Military Firing Range. When the disappearances were first discovered, then junta head Jerry John Rawlings, shedding the tears of a crocodile, appeared on national television and announced that the abductions were the work of the enemies of the revolution.

What is interesting is that at the time he made that declaration, Jerry Rawlings knew that three of the four murderers were residing in his own Boys Quarters at Ridge, a suburb of Accra. As the leader of the group, Sgt. Samuel Amedeka, was to state later, at the time they went round picking their victims, the murder squad knew that they were carrying out the orders of the Provisional National Defence Council, chaired by Jerry Rawlings.

Sad to state, but many Ghanaians believe that the abductions and murders were sanctioned by the leadership of the military junta. Incidentally, Mr. Tsikata was known in the Ghanaian society as the Chief Adviser to Jerry Rawlings at the time.

Jerry Rawlings and his aides could declare their innocence to the high heavens, but most Ghanaians know that the whole abduction was instigated by the leadership of the PNDC to put fear into the citizenry, at a time the very existence of the military junta was being questioned.

All the three murdered judges – Poku Sarkodie, Kwadwo Adjei Agyepong and Cecelia Koranteng Addow, were sitting on review cases brought by aggrieved persons, in respect of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council, the previous military junta headed by Mr. Rawlings. For the attention of Mr. Tsikata, an adviser to the PNDC Chairman at the time, none of these victims was given a minute to plead his/her case.

I do not know who advises Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata. If I were him, I would lie low after all the atrocities he aided the PNDC to perpetrate against fellow human beings in the name of a revolution that has only replaced the rich and famous of society.

At the time he was in prison in 2008, Mr. Tsikata was supposed to have carried out a consultancy job that landed him a cool $5 million on his release, with the National Democratic Congress back in power. I am not in a position to argue about what kind of consultancy he undertook. I have a worry though. I do not believe there is any Ghanaian alive who could vouch on the number of Ghanaians sent to the so-called People’s Court, established on the advice of legal brains behind the military oligarchy, and allowed to argue their cases, as Tsikata did.

Mr. Tsikata cannot claim that he was not one of the legal brains that aided the establishment of the People’s Court. Neither is he unaware of long custodian sentences passed on people on the flimsiest of charges. Victims of the People’s Court, I dare state, never had the comfort of six years to plead their cases.

There was no proper legal defence, as Mr. Tsikata had the luxury of experiencing. In many of such cases, the victims were never given the opportunity to clear their names.

Lest I forget, even when President John Agyekum Kufuor granted a pardon to the convicted criminal, Mr. Tsikata swore to clear his name in court. Five years on, we are still waiting.

What is interesting is that the administration of John Evans Atta Mills handed over $5 million of public money to Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata on the pretext that a firm he owns -Strategic Oil and Gas Resources Company, had provided consultancy services to Mitsui Ocean Development Company Limited, the organization that won the bid for the construction of the Floating, Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) Kwame Nkrumah, for the exploration of oil in the Western Region.

Critics say Mr. Tsikata might have been in prison at the time the consultancy was said to have been provided. In Parliament, Deputy Minister of Energy in the Kufuor administration, Mr. Kobina Tahir Hammond, engaged former Minister of Energy Dr. Oteng Adjei, to tell Ghanaians whether Tsatsu’s company had truly been paid that whooping amount of $5 million.

Mr. Hammond also wanted to know what kind of services Strategic and Oil Resources provided to warrant such a quantum payment from the public purse. The Minister’s response was that a private company had the right to be sub-contracted by MODEC. “The award of the contract was not illegal; payment of money would also not be illegal,” Dr. Oteng stated.

The Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa insisted on a definite answer, but the Minister remained evasive, forcing a confrontation that lasted one hour, until the Speaker intervened on the basis that the time allotted for the purpose had elapsed.

Obviously displeased by Mr. Hammond’s request, Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata issued a press release the next day. “It would have been hard to fathom why a Parliamentary question would be put about legitimate contractual relations between two companies, but for the obsessive determination of people like Hon. Hammond to get Tsatsu Tsikata by hook or crook,” Mr. Tsikata stated in his release.

“Unfortunately for such people, however, the activities of Strategic Oil and Gas Resources (Stats Oil), a company of which I am a share-holder, as well as Chief Executive, will stand up to every scrutiny,” he stated.

The jury is still out on whether the $5 million payment is justified, especially, when the deal was said to have been hatched at a time the Chief Executive, and the man said to have presented the so-called consultancy, was in prison.

In a moment like this, my heart goes out to Mr. Baah Boakye, one-time official of the Foreign Service of Ghana who was transferred under a certificate of emergency to West Germany. The message out there is that his wife failed to join him. I am told that the woman involved is the same person cited in Mr. Tsikata’s testimony, as providing solace to the then prisoner in hospital.

This is a cruel world. Many had no opportunity to clear their names when they were dispatched to the next world on flimsy charges. On the other hand, those who helped to perpetuate those heinous crimes against their fellow beings, are paid huge sums for providing consultancies from locked prison cells. It all adds up to the murky world, where hard work is rather punished.

Tsikata’s five year jail anniversary message should galvanised Ghanaians to ask more questions about a revolution that rewarded rhetoric against hard work. I shall return!

So long as Sir John is General Secretary, no Kuffour candidate will be nominated as Presidential candidate. It will alsways be the choice of Akuffo Addo to nominate who succeeds him. Kuffour is trying to put someone incharge so that when Nana is 90 and retires, the next master would be a Kuffour surrogate. All Akuffo Addo has to do now is to make sure he nominates who he trust to succeed Sir John. It should NEVER be Kuffours decision.The future of the party is now in Nanas hands it it must remain so. Kuffour is FINISHED.

Why now all of a sudden the NPP big shots are condemning Sir John? Did they have to wait for the SC to show the way first? When did they know that what Sir John said was wrong and why did they keep quiet all this time? Nonetheless, even if it is too late too little, it a step in the right direction. If Sir John is sanctioned NPP will put NDC to shame. I wish they had acted on this earlier.

Kofi, why should the NDC be put to shame for Sir John uttering those ethnocentrically-laden and disrespectful statements which betrayed everything that is wrong with "these Akans", (expect my coming article: What Is Wrong With These Akans?), should the NEC of the NPP take the confidence mechanism bolstering measure of sanctioning Sir John; in effect, making a scape goat of him? I don't get it!

You see, for the discerning public, especially the voters from Atuguba's vast northern constituencies, the softball "punishment" meted to Sir John is not the defining humiliation that they're counting with. For them, the fall out is NOT the punishment meted out to Sir John. The fall out, to them, shall be the unintended consequences of Sir John's disrespect shown to Atuguba's name and person as a "Northerner" who was mocked in Akan on an Akan radio station! And the discerning NPP honchos are acutely aware of that coming repercussion, except those who belong to the class of "These Akans". We've heard and read some of them defending Sir John and insulting those who want Sir John to resign. Well, it is their problem! They sow the whirlwind, let them reap it! Wa la hi! Ta la hi!

Hierarchy to rebuke Owusu Afriyie when it mattered gave him the 'green light' to disrespect not only the sitting President John Mahama, but he Kufour himself! Did Sir John, as the CEO of the party, not sanction the 'invasion' of K4`s private residence by a posse of NPP hoodlums? Was is not the flat debunking of K4`s earlier press statement that he had the blessing of the NEC to attend the inauguration of President Mahama that caused all the brouhaha? Let`s face it who, other than the present defato leaders of the NPP has escaped the 'toxic tongue' of Sir John? Can a valid case not be made that the main reason this guy is being kept in his position is his perceived usefulness as an "attack dog" who is to keep enemies,real or inaginary,at bay?
At age 62, and having been a member of the Ghana Bar for more than half that period of time,Owusu Afriyie is far from a dummy, and clearly recognized and appreciated what his "enforcer" role is! Yes,he may have bitten ore than he could in picking on a 'tough-cookie like Justice Atuguba who was not prepared let him walkk all over the SC and get away with it! So I agree that this belated NEC meeting to discuss Sir John`s fate is a sham, and would not amount to anything. The 'horses' were let out of the barn more than 5 years ago,and there`s really no point trying to 'coral' them when the damage has aleady been done.

Has your party (the NDC) ever condemned outrageous public remarks of the ilks of Tony Aidoo,Nii Lante Vanderpuye, JJ Rawlings, Asiedu Nketia,Dr Kwabena Adjei, Kobby Acheampong,Koku Anyidoho,Ama Benyiwaa-Doe, Sue Desoso,AK Agyemkum,etc?

GHANAVIA or whatever you call yourself, are you serious in saying that my articles on the Kpegah suit against Nana Akufo-Addo was to undermine Nana Akufo-Addo? Did you read those articles and if yes, did you understand them?

Did you read my article on Saturday that I mentioned a number of NDC officials that should have been sacked for making irresponsible statements? I am not afraid to criticise any party or individual when they wrong.

Do not try and create the impression that you and the readers you refer to fished out my past connection with PNDC. I revealed that myself through my articles and it's not something I hide. I never project myself "with an absolute disinterestedness in politics of Ghana" as you claim. If that was the case, then, why do I post articles on socio-economic and political matters on Ghana? I am also not neutral, instead, I try to be objective and unlike some of you I am not a fundamentalist who support and defend anything and everything as far as it's by NDC or NPP. I am rational and able to use my analytical skills rather than follow blindly.

I once wrote after Sammy Awuku's ban from the Supreme Court that Sir John should watch his mouth. The man didn't listen and went on to lambaste Justice Atuguba & Co. on the airwaves. As a lawyer, Mr. Owusu Afriyie shouldn't be educated about the laws of the and esp. as it concerns the highest court of the land.

Making derogatory remarks about people in authority, like one on a panel at the High Court or Supreme Court is a serious matter which bear horrible consequencies. Sir John is a matured man and ought not to be told. He mast behave else he may see himself yanked from the position as party secretary. From what we're hearng, it's obvious that lots of people are angry with his comments and his appearance and fine at the Supreme Court.

I was vey surprised how the Supreme Court Justices seemed agreeably tolerant with Sir John, after lawyer Aryee-Koi had pleaded on his behalf. That was some show of true maturity and Justice Atuguba and Dotse must be commended for that. I'm to sitting here on the internet to spew out loose words. Many people will agree with me that Sir John' conduct was unacceptable!

He should be thankful to Justice Atuguba for sparing his life; the man could be chilling in the Nsawam Coolers for a long time, had the Justice Dotse & Co., not been lenient. He's damned lucky!

Sir John made his pronouncement on air for public consumption and he intended it to be heard by the judges through the mass media.In view of this any condemnation must be made in public and in the mass media and to be intended for the public and the judges to hear. As rightly said by the judges non of the NPP leadership condemned Sir John that's why there is the need for the NPP leadership to try and purge themselves of consent of Intentional Criminal Contempt.That's why the high ranking NPP are coming out on air.

Had Former President Kufuour consistently used his unique standing in NPP and Ghana to instill sanity in the NPP early enough, NPP's condition would not have deteriorated as it is now for its Secretary General to be treated with such humiliation.
Most of the time, Mr Kufuor preferred to tow narrow party lines. For instance, just after the 2012 election, Kufuor was among the loudest NPP stalwarts saying that, President Mahama's votes in many constituencies have been fraudulently padded and those of Akufo Addo were also fraudulently reduced to make President Mahama win the election. But when the petition hearing began, NPP surprisingly dropped all these fraud allegations and settled shamefully on clerical errors on the pink sheets.
Kufuor should have stamped his authority on the party when Akufo Addo did the "all die be die" declaration or when he referred to the NPP as "yen Akanfuor". Mr Kufuor was quiet when Kennedy Agyapong declared war to behead all Gas and Ewes in Ghana. When Ursula Owusu propounded her theory that Northerners were only good as cattle herders, Mr Kufuor was silent.
It looks like it’s too late for Former President to make any amends in the NPP.

People talking without mindful of the effect on the large society needed be reprimanded. Sir John, Gen Mosquito, etc all needed to appear at SC at a later stage. Infact there is the need for postmortem legal review of the past behaviour of the various political parties communicators with large mouth. I strongly believe the powers of the SC needs to be extended to deal with all these loose mouth of public personnel of the past. Mother Ghana deserve our continuous peaceful environment without all these young, cheap, inexperience and money-grabbing politicians without love for Mother Ghana.

These people have no respect for our elders, and their behaviour is not typical of the admiring Ghanaian culture. Long live Mother Ghana.

Any so called meeting on Sir John is nothing but smoke screen. Mr. Afriyie´s attacks on the justices cannot be said to be anything different from the behaviour of the other current office bearers of the party.

Indeed, the statement made by Dr.Arthur Kennedy sums the whole thing up. No one in that party can honestly "discipline" the General Secretary when some others have said more serious thing that have been defended by officialdom in the party. Mr. Kufuor´s hint of possible sanctioning is only a fluke. Nothing will happen.
