    You have not said any thing but blowing hot air. NPP government passed the law for freedom of the press and speech. Now everybody can blow hot air bit good or bad.What Tony Pobee-Mensah is talking about is pure nonsense.

    please do not compare orange and apples

    If we did not kill ourselves after elections,international observers would say the election was free and fair. It is up to us to build a corrupt free society.

    Tony with respect to you i think you lack capacity to comprehend what is going on. If the Petitioners case is bad then President Mahama image will enhance governance within and encourage foreign investors.Be mindful that a lo ...

    Is this character called Pobee-Mensah not disappointed in himself for putting this piece of trash in the public domain?

  • Osei 11 years ago

    Pobee MENSAH TONY lacks integrity and a critical survey of his articles shows he is a dishonest person. None of his points make a single point, they lack logic.

    Who is believable?; the Electoral Commissioner, a Minister of State and his Department; or NPP loud mouthed Akyem, but calls himself "Akan" Akufo Ado; with his forewarned "all die be die" that his "Akans" would slaughter the ...

    Let`s put part of the blame at the doorstep of our own Agyekum Kuffour for 'stacking' our SC with well-known NPP partisans. Imagine the level of contempt that an ingrate like Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie has directed at him (Kuffour) ...

    Might as well rent the kenyan supreme court to help lethargic Ghanaians if we keep referencing them in almost all our articles.

  • ATAKORA BEDIAKO 11 years ago

    YES, THE ELECTIONS WERE FREE AND FAIR BUT THE RESULTS WERE TAMPARED WITH-THUS THE SC CASE.PEOPLE VOTED QUITE ORDERLY AND THEN WENT HOME.WHAT THE OFFICIALS DID WITH THE RESULTS IS WHAT THE SC CASE IS ABOUT.

  • Kwobia (Toronto) 11 years ago

    Sorry,Tony.The SC cannot be blamed.The main current parties are responsible for this petition before the the SC(1992 Constitution).
    The SC is simply doing it's best.

  • KWESI Bruce 11 years ago

    This is the highest court of the land and yet still cannot make firm decisions on election 2012. They should have made a stand from day one by telling the petitioners to go to hell with their suit because I believe they canno ...

    What an idiot you are. Margin or error my foot. No margin of error should change the result of an election and when a margin of error is like 15% instead of .5% or half a percent, then that is not an error but an intentional ...

    This is not a margin of error. This is about gargantuan rigging of an election by a dishonest and impudent returning officer Afari-gyan and his accomplices.

  • STONER KOBYLYNTON 11 years ago

    Kwesi, America is not the oldest democracy in the world. Check your facts well. Did you hear what Afari Djan said immediately he declared Mr. Mahama the winner when NPP raised election fraud? He said NPP can go to court to ...

    Hasten to add that, we as Ghanaians have have allowed ourselves to be 'railroaded' by a tiny minority that believes it has some sort of 'divine right' to govern this country. It is like the deep south in the US,in centuries g ...

  • Yaw Amofa 11 years ago

    It really infuriates me when fools like this writer presume that the SC should just look at the pink sheets presented by NPP. This is a bloody serious matter and detail has to be examined mintely. Gloria Akuffo has already sa ...

    Pobee, what are you trying to say? Our laws make room for foreign observers at our elections. Our laws make room for dissatisfied Ghanaians to seek redress over election results. The fact that these international observers cl ...

    true

  • Whatever 11 years ago

    Bawumia, right now is in court and his last place of standing is his 'ANALYSIS'. The supreme court should be serious and throw the case out for acute want of evidence. The world can't tolerate this comedy

    There will still be some administrative errors. The literacy rate and quality of available personnel etc cannot change over night.
    If we encourage what the NPP is doing, no election will be won in Ghana again. All you have ...
