In my personal view too the learned Judge should have declined to speak to the press! He is more than a PRO of the Supreme Court which has so far distinguished itself!! But hopefully what appears as an unguarded move whether legal or not should serve as a lesson to others and let's move on so that the learned judge can concentrate on his core functions as a Judge. Although he should have erred on the side of caution/abstention to engage the press to err is human!!

As a lay man, I think Justice Dotse could have chosen a better time to make his comments. I am quite sure if the other Justices are interviewed today, their chosen words will not be the same as that of Dotse. Considering we have the elections right around the corner, his comments will have served a better purpose in his memoir down the line.

Certainly. it is morally wrong to explain the ruling of the Supreme Court through public interview. He should rather have advised any person who did not understand the rulung of the SC to come/apply to the SC as a body for clarification. Why, is he the Supreme Court. We all know that Justice Dotse is a card bearing of the NPP. His utterances are always controversial. No wonder some Judges of the Appeals Court condemed his ruling on the Tagor case.

Do you understand "pending" and/or "impending" words you yourself used? You are a disgrace to academia. Never ever compare yourself even to a freshman on the 'bench' let alone an eminent judge of Justice Dotse's standing.

I wish you had him being interviewed rather than what has been reported. He was a gem as he educated the host on a lot of legal issues. Mind you the host is a lawyer too. In the interview he disclosed that a judge or magistrate is not allowed per a clause in their article to grant an interview to a journalist even if the interview would be off record. By granting that interview, Dotse erred he contends. Dotse breached the code of ethics that says they should not grant interview to journalist. And you asked of where he schooled? UG, and Havard Law School for his Master of Law and his PhD in Juridical Sciences which he obtained with distinction.
You see why you could not understand him? Are you ok. Don't be ashamed. You could let him be a model to one of your kids since it could be too late for you to be like him.

Thanks for educating all of us who did not watch the interview especially those of us who wear political lenses on such issues. Instead of talking about the merit of what Dr. Raymond said, he was askingwhere he was schooled.

You have just spoken my mind bro. Is/was the case still pending or impending at the time of Dotse's interview? He quoted some articles to affirm his stance but it was quoted in bad taste since there had been a ruling of which he was part. Dr Atuguba, a nephew of Judge Atuguba of EC petition fame was appointed as press secretary at the Presidency by Prez Mahama so am not surprised. What I want answered is that, are those who registered with NHIS cards all NDC members? If you do not know why have you become PRO for the EC especially when these learnered judges made provisions for re-registration? NDC have skeletons in the closets but they can't turn to ghosts.

Apparently,Abu Ramadan lost the substantive case against EC because the SC rejected his call for a new register.
Even though,the SC agreed that the voters' register is unreasonably accurate because there are some ineligible names on it.The dead,minors and those who registered with NHIS Cards.
The order of the Supreme Court is as simple as abc.Look EC,you are not going to compile a new voters' register but just go and clean it up immediately with the exiting laws of Ghana.
From administrative purpose,the EC have to apply the process for deleting all the gruops identified by the SC as ineligible.Then according to EC,they will use the CI91 to clear the 3 groups from the register during the exhibition,period.
The EC said that the SC didn't instruct them to delete NHIS Card holders by itself and that is true.The SC also ordered EC to follow the due process,so what is all this long talk for?Thank you.

It's unbelievable to hear some of our so-called learned lawyers make bogus public statements about the SC's order to the EC to delete names of all NHIA card-holders, minors and the deceased from the electoral roll. While the NDC is blatantly disregarding the SC's simple order, people like Raymond Atuguba would come out and condemn Justice Jones Victor Dotse for making things clear. The NDC is in bed with the EC and finding every means to rig the coming elections, just as they've done in the past. As I continue to point out on this very website, the NDC have been rigging elections since 1992.

Everyone who thinks Ghana is in a democracy should think twice! I've state here previously that the NDC don't believe in democracy; they were forced to turn Ghana to democratic governace by external forces. Folk will recall Rawling had engaged the services of late Prof. Kofi Awonoor to write his [Rawlings] memoires and the reason why he should be president for life. Rawlings didn't intend to relinguish power; he meant to hold on power for life! Folks would also remember his famous words: "hand over to who" when he was asked by journalists when his PNDC gov't would hand over power.

These bunch of covetous and envious people had a wicked agenda; their aim was to wrestle power from Akans who they perceive as having greater power and dominance in all spheres of Ghana's being. To some extent, they succeeded by dismissing many Ghanaians, esp. those who held top positions in gov't and among the security forces.

Rawling and his gang stood on roof tops shouting about freedom, justice, probilty and accountability. Today, under the influence of John Mahama and his corrupt NDC gov't the EC boss is telling Ghanaians that they can go to hell; she's won't disclose the cost involved in the EC's crazy rebranding. Everything in Ghana is up-side-down! Things continue to fall apart for every Ghanaian; young graduates from our nation's colleges and universities, and esp. the youth can't find jobs to do. The kind of corruption and thievery going on in Ghana esp. in high gov't places is unprecedented in Ghana's political history. On top of everything, the NDC is trying to divide the country with tribalism. The NDC and their allies in gov't and everywhere don't believe in the constitution; they're just pretending to be democratic, yet they won't obey the Supremen Court. It's funny!

It's time for Ghanaians to wake up and "resist the oppressors rule" as written in our National Anthem! Enough of the crazy Mahama and his bullshit! It's time for our youth and civil societies to mobilize themselves and hit the street in their numbers to express their disgust about the on-going situation in Ghana.

You used to write briefs for your uncle before being appointed as senior aide to Mahama, and yet your did not recuse himself in the election case despite the obvious conflict or appearance of a conflict of interest. This should not have happened unless the the conflict is disclosed and the parties consent to the conflicted judge remaining on the case.

These NDC know-it-all lawyers should leave the Justice alone and concentrate their efforts on their political opponents. The Justice spoke his mind after the decision was rendered. You can agree or disagree with him. State where he erred in his reasoning, rather than bringing up the issue of him erring by making public comments. The NDC lawyers are doing the very thing that the NPP lawyers did in the last election, viciously attack Justices simply because a ruling is not to their liking. The public needs commentary on the reasons or explanation given by the Justice, not accusations. Lawyers Atuguba, Annan and Amaliba are simply looking to curry favor with their party by coming out with their unwarranted attacks on Justice Dotse. Looks like these lawyers are still itching to be penciled in for political appointments.

Justice Dotse erred in making public comment on SC ruling – Dr Atuguba
