    This writer must be living in a lost land. He does not understand realities. Please tell Akufo Addo to show his certificate. If it is lost as he claims, he can request for his transcript from the school he attended to silence ...

  • NANA'S OWN BEHAVIOR BETRAYS HIM 10 years ago

    No innocent person will ask a court to strike such a huge embarrassment out just like that. The fact that Akufo Addo is not suing Kpegah even speaks volume. Any wise person can smell that something rotten is hiding somewhere.

  • Saka 10 years ago

    The burden of proof, in fact, lies with Kpegah, and this is comparable to your situation. You send information about your qualification to the school in the US, therefore you needed to prove that indeed you hold that qualific ...

    Courts are not universities to have academic boards to determine people's qualification. The fact that nAna addo wrote to the 'Ghana Legal Association'(?)of his missing certificate shows that he never got one before. He shoul ...

    Re. Justice Kpega was a BEHICAN so as his two sons for a fact.Amenyo for your correction.

  • Kofi Amenyo 10 years ago

    Thanks a lot for the correction, Bhobu. Kpegah was, indeed, an old boy. One of my mates has drawn my attention to the mistake and you have confirmed it. He left before we entered the school and we may have left before his two ...

    Greg. If someone accuses you of stealing a car, it is up to THAT PERSON to PROVE that you stole the car. It is not up to you to prove that you did not steal the car. That is one reason that cases get thrown out of court: Beca ...

  • NANA IS USING BAWUMIA 10 years ago

    AKUFO ADDO IS ALWAYS HIDING SOMETHING! HE IS ALWAYS HIDING HIS TRUE WICKED CHARACTER, BUT SOMETIMES IT BETRAYS HIM DURING HIS SPEECHES. AKUFO ADDO IS ALWAYS HIDING THE FACT THAT HE HAS NO LAW CERTIFICATES, BUT ONE DAY WE WILL ...

    The man has no certificate. He used his connections to manipulate the system. But that was before the internet was invented. So he thought his crooked ways will not see daylight.

    Now we can google search...and there is ...

  • Kwasi Agyapong 10 years ago

    Where were you when the Legal Council came out to say that Nana Addo is indeed a lawyer? Is it Kpegah that decides who is a lawyer and who is not?

    Were you not in Ghana when Konadu Agyeman Rawlings notoriously accused Nana ...

    We Ghanaians don't know and feed on rumors! You sound like who know and have a position to defend so be bold and tell us what you think, that is, Akufo-Addo is a fraud!

  • Vodoo Xebieso 10 years ago

    Akadu you equally write and sound like an Akan exhibiting the drove mentality. (No offense meant).

  • gq 10 years ago

    Akufo-Addo is in Britain looking for his certificate so don't be surprise when he comes up with a certificate in hand from Britain.

    CROOKS!!!!

    I AM A NATIVE OF AKYEM TRIBE AND SWIMMING IN THE SAME CLAN OF NANA ADDO. AS I SAID EARLIER THIS ISSUE OF AKUFFO ADDO FORGING A FAMILY MEMBER LAW CERTIFICATE WAS LONG AND LONG TIME OVERDUE. JUSTICE KPEGAH WILL SIMPLY LOOSE THE ...

  • NANA'S OWN BEHAVIOR BETRAYS HIM 10 years ago

    There is no innocent person accused of such an embarrassing case that will take relief from just a court throwing the case out! An innocent person will want to prove himself in court, and turn around and sue the plaintiff-Kpe ...

    If he is indeed a lawyer he should come out clear with his certificate, simple

  • opiesie 10 years ago

    Given the terrible English written on this forum you will agree this is a very good piece. As to the truth in the matter discussed,who knows? I think Amenyo has been fair and impartial.

  • NANA NYANSA, GERMANY 10 years ago

    Mr.Nyansa,you talk of Judicial Council
    and fail to see that Kpegah is also a
    member of the council

  • Kwabena Gyamfi 10 years ago

    Your article was intended to deepen the doubt about Nana Addo. You people, Ewes, are too envious and Icannot understand what motivate you to collectively behave in this despicable manner.

  • Vodoo Xebieso 10 years ago

    Swine, your uncle Nana Akufo Addo must prove beyond all reasonable doubts that he is the one and the only and same Akufo Addo with that Call to the Bar number and not another Nana Akufo Addo.

    His stubborn silence is a sign ...

    Kpegah must be ashamed. If he knew the facts, why did he refuse to go to court?

    KOFI AMENYO, WE KNOW THAT AKUFO-ADDO IS NOT HIDING ANYTHING. YOU SAY WE DON'T KNOW. IN LAW YOU ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. IF KPEGAH HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PROVE HIS CASE, THEN AKUFO-ADDO IS NOT IMPERSONATING ANYONE. LET ...

    Interesting analogy. This is not a murder case but a case of integrity. Murder is criminal but integrity lives in an individual and Akufo-Addo has none period.!!!!

  • KAKABO 10 years ago
