Tsatsu's "law" is outdated. The law must deal with him if the need arises. He can no longer hide behind the "powers that be" and belittle our judicial system.

We are talking current issues and of facts where Anim Yeboah has been observed to have allowed his judgment clouded by his affiliation to his political party and here you are talking 'jazz'.
You are not being objective at all and this is what Tsatsu is asking you guys.Be Objective not Bigotry.

Nothing can forever remain secret. Tsatsu's deeds and misdeeds will come to the surface and he can never go unpunished including whoever was among the group that killed our judges. They know that Ghana is not their property.

Azar,
The continuation of your agenda to malign all and sundry you are opposed to in the NDC can only boomerang on you when confronted to stand by your words. When a newspaper here in the UK repeated same allegations against Kojo, he came down and won a case against them. Why couldn't they show proof here in the UK that Kojo masterminded the killings if the evidence exists?
I can vouch on my deceased father's grave that Kojo Tsikata and Rawlings were not privy to those killings, which btw, were not the only killings by rogue soldiers and elements associated with the PNDC, and prior to those killings. I had told you and your ilk several years ago on Okyeame how I was privy to the breaking of the secrecy surrounding the murders. I mentioned that I had gone to Nsawam Prisons with the mother of a friend, schoolmate and relation by marriage who was imprisoned there on the same accusations that saw people like Kweku Baako and Yaw Adu Larbi of What Do you Know fame, members of MONAS, incarcerated. We were not allowed to see him cos of the security situation, with one soldier who was jailed there for being a part of an earlier counter-coup attempt, which coups were being orchestrated by the so-called "super-revolutionaries" in order to halt the investigations into the murders, started talking. Being superstitious people, the talk was that the ghosts of the victims were haunting him! Anyway, with the connections we had at the Prisons, we were told everything happening. I even managed to exchange notes with Kwasi A, his real name. From other sources, I reached my conclusion that Kojo and JJ were not in the known and their own lives were in danger while the investigations were going on and the killers were on the loose. Those killings were the final straw for JJ, leading to his purging the so-called "socialists" and "super-revolutionaries" from the PNDC. I returned to my station in Nigeria long before the news came out in West Africa Magazine that those involved had been arrested.
I heard the BBC commentary on the Report of the Special Investigator. I completely agreed with their observation that linking Kojo to the plot was tenuous and just an attempt to link the PNDC to the killings. That judge failed in performing his duties and allowed politics to play a role in his judgement.
Now, this is what I think about what is happening so far.
I did my utmost not to waste my time following and commenting on this foolish case from its very beginning. But since it seems almost all [on the petitioners' sides, btw] have lost their senses, I can no longer sit on the fence and allow jejune nonsense to rule the scene.
As some of us rightly said from the very start [and that includes some astute NPP supporters], it was a frivolous case without merit. We expected a 9-0 decision against all the reliefs sought. Tsatsu, expecting such a similar decision, was simply trying to explain why some of the Justices granted some of the petitioners' porous reliefs when there are clearly no merit to them. The obvious explanation he adduced was the political leaning of some of the judges, and picked on Justice Anim-Yeboah, who he claimed has a record of taking decisions based on his political leaning. Yes, that's serious accusation indeed and rightfully deserves public perusal. Was Tsatsu wrong or right in his observation? He just came out to defend himself again, claiming he only spoke the truth. Anyway, anyone who wants to charge him for contempt of court is welcomed to, but wait a moment!
I blame the NDC lawyers for not arguing strongly the legal arguments, based on precedents, against the case, and instead decided on showboating about Pink Sheets and trying to prove, much against the glaring facts, that irregularities did not occur! That was a charade and added pantomine to the circus, just as I predicted! Some of those legal arguments only came out in their closing remarks.
Commenting on how and why judges of the SC of the US voted a certain way is part of the legal scholarship and devt in that civilised nation. In fact, before a judge is appointed, he/she is perused extensively in the media and Congress about ideological leaning - whether liberal (Democrat) or conservative (Repub), earlier judgements on certain controversial issues, etc. This is repeated anytime a controversial case is before the SC. Nobody is charged with contempt for doing that! Can you blokes therefore moved on? What Tstatsu said is completely legitimate even if some complain about the timing being not right.
After all, Tsatsu didn't start this questioning of the motives of the justices. Since the foolish case went to court, the justices seen as not pro-NPP, esp. Atuguba, have been under a barrage of abuses, attacks, long articles directed against him Atuguba in particular by you Azar in particular. After the verdict, it reached such a high crescendo that we can call it a deluge! What other accusations are there which you blokes can make against the justices who voted 9-0 against that foolish case which you haven't made already? You were saying far worse things against the justices before Tsatsu made his mild comment compared to what even you Azar was writing. Tsatsu fired only one warning shot into your camp and hell should break loose??? No, na scatter, wey dey scatter! You sow the whirlwind you'd reap the whirlwind!
Some I have categorised into the segment of "these Akans" have found this as another opportunity to descend into their mentally warped, ethnocentric tirades against Ewes, as if Tsatsu even represents and is a spokesman for his town's people of small Srogbe his family rules over, not to mention all Ewes! If you want to play the tribal blame game, let me tell you about Tsatsu and his family so that you prepare yourselves very well.
I know that he Tsatsu is an Anlo man and comes from a long line of traditional rulers on my Right wing, those who subscribe to the Anlo emblem and motto of one firewood cooking the meal (Naketsi Deka No Dzome Bi Nu). Yes, making sure that even one person on the battlefield could win the battle, since we Anlos didn't have 1000s to deploy after a 1000 were killed! So for us, it is One Man Thousand! I think Tsatsu has just proved again that, indeed, one firewood can cook the meal! Just a few words compared to their 1000s and they are reeling and belching like they are drowning in the Volta all over again! Hmmm!
Even his uncle Sam Okudzeto (where was this "uncle" when his beloved cousin was being steamrolled into Nsawam under all kinds of strange legal shenanigans such as under a law which was passed after Tsatsu guaranteed that loan to Valley Farm, padding the SC, etc., by his political cronies and bedmates?) was alarmed by the power the smallish, short man packed! Ele kpi do ga wui. "He is short but wears an iron armour." Well, he got his opportunity to vent his spleen and he did! Hollering about it won't change a thing! You blokes don't have the monopoly to be maligning and abusing respectable people, so bugger off, all of you!
I've wasted my time enough writing this! But I hope the wise may find some gem of wisdom in this and not follow fools to their destruction. The case was a foolish case and only the uninformed, morons and dubious manipulators don't know or think that!

If you had argued so passionately against the imprisonment of those who spoke their minds, I would have agreed with the points you raised without thinking of your double standard. No law exists anywhere that says that one cannot comment on an on-going court case. If a court wants to gag, it will so order. And yet when people spoke their minds and criticized the Supreme Court judges, they were cited for contempt and summarily imprisoned by Atuguba's court. That action raised the bar for the scope of allowable speech; yet intelligent minds rationalized to approve the injustice....
Does Tsatsu have the right to speak his mind about a certain judge? Yes!! Do Kuranchie, Sir John and those convicted felons have the right to speak their minds about certain judges? Yes!!!
The problem comes when we strive to debar others' free speech with fraudulent arguments while privileging others we like with intelligent argument. Pre or post judgment, people can comment on cases or judges.....and people have the right to comment on those comments also.
Prof. Asare's article may be strident, but he is operating within his right of free speech, just like all the others! And the good Prof. is at least consistent in recognizing everybody's right to free speech, much unlike you and Tsatsu who approved the jailing of others for contempt but now assert the freedom to say the same things for which others were imprisoned.

SAS,
This is indeed an unkind cut. I actually commented on of Azar's articles and said he had a point. In effect, I commended him instead of attacking him.
But, as I had said, I was not wasting my time following all avalanche of print on the case. I said my views and retired into the background. At least, you also agreed with me that it was a foolish case. All that I am pointing out is the continuing foolish arguments and points being made by some. It is clear you agreed with me, except that I should have been on the battle line making same arguments before. Of course, I put in a good word for my former roommate Sir John, even though I disproved of the ethnocentric jibes he made at Atuguba's name and calling him names like a "voodoo deity". Everybody agreed that he crossed the line.
You see, I am a trained Political Scientist and Organisation Theorist, not a lawyer, and I believe we Political Scientists and Organisation Theorists understand much better the principles of governance than lawyers. After all, the law is simply an accessory to governance, like accounting is to running a business. That's why I understand that legal interpretations, in some cases, and in the long run, can NEVER be devoid POLITICAL context (leanings of the individual and the public opinion) at a material time. So what prevails in the US may not be so in the UK, as you know. If certain statements which are made by radio talk hosts in the US are made in say Scandinavia, wow! they'd be on the way to court and jail! That's how we must view Sir John and others statements.

By all means, we must strive to improve towards the ideal, even though my impression is that we are decades, if not generations, away from that. Look at how the posse decided on Ms Hammah for speaking the truth in public, and the same people expect transparency in govt and Freedom of Information Law.
Anyway, recollect that Ken Kuranchie came from prison to remind us that Ghanaians were not civilised! That yellow page hackster didn't know that Ghanaians are grouped among the LDCs, not the First World countries!:-)
So we must take cognisance of our socio-political context and be realistic about what is achievable and proper now. Of course, the standards and state of affairs are currently too mediocre! I've taken to watching those re-broadcast of Joynews on one of the African Tv channels when I have time. What I see dismay me. The scenes, beyond the gloss and veneer of parts of Accra, even look more decrepit than I knew in the 1960s and '70s.
Someone recently put a picture of Accra taxi drivers in the late CPP years on his Facebook page. They were all in white shirts, black trousers and ties or bow ties! That was classy! Now, some of them look like muggers!

1. In one of your writings on scandalizing the judiciary and judges, you clearly advocated for the abolition of the offence of scandalizing the court an aspect of criminal contempt.
The question: How, in light of the above, do you want the General Legal Council to discipline aka punish Tsatsu?
2. If Prof Asare had read the Abban judgment he would have realized the fraudulent nature of the judgment.
3. Isn't it the same Prof Asare who was insulting Justice Atuguba calling him a "fool", "selective", "biased" on social networks? How does he reconcile those uncouthed statements to what Tsatsu said?

Omanba, interesting question but direct to Prof Asare. He is so prejudiced and biased that he can nver give an informed and honest opinion.
Importantly, the only way the General Legal Council can take up this matter is whether all appear processes have been exhausted. As at now, we don't even know if the appeal processes had been exhausted.
One is so certain: The fact that Tsatsu had been pardoned does not handicap the General Legal Council from sanctioning him if it has the credible evidence so to do.

Asare when people like you write we know where you are coming from. Our judicial system is corrupt even the CJ knows and has said it on countless occasions Tsatsu has over the years fought this cancer that has taken over our judicial system and continues to do so. If the system is not corrupt how on earth would people like Ken Adjapong be walking free after his incitement on radio for Gas and Ewes be killed. It is rather sickening to see these NPP judges setting criminals free to the frustration of our policemen and prosecutors lets call a spade a spade. Tsatsu has proven that he earned his first class. His analysis and presentations set him apart from the rest and above all he is no coward lets celebrate our heros when alive not when dead like we are doing to Kwame Nkrumah

This is a worthwhile analysis of an ecclectical concise description of our poor judicial landscape. In one breadth, the NPP could stand against cagging people for free speech and in another circumstance, anyone making critical observation of which people would put heads together for an apt analysis that can help illuminate the way forward, is seen as not saying it well!!
If a high court could ascribe an immunity to a non affiliate branches of IMF, in this case the IFC that was not called to testify the case the Attorney G vrs Tsatsu for which justice was not seen to have been dispensed, can't Tsatsu mention, at least under the 1992 constitution that gurantees Fundamental Humal Rights among which Freedom of Speech on pertinent issues of public concern are enshrined???
In any case where in the world can a lawyer be rained into a court without his lawyer and asked to defend him/herself as he is a lawyer while there was not prior information of Judgement and further more when his lawyer has asked permission from the court to do something outside the country!!! Two wrongs cannot be RIGHT, Ghanaians!! People cannot be quoting foreign jurisprudence and legal issues to avert what really is ours about!! For someone who said Ewes and Gas to be killed as a gargantuan incitement, heaven knows those people who might have lost their lives in the hamlets in the Ashanti bush etc only to be left off the hook and still allowed to be in our law making parliament is a sham!!
Why should Kweku Asare not be an advocate for fair play, but only show his colouration and support with impudence for the NPP's parochial course!! Afterall Ghana belongs to all of us!! Is he aware?? Is he Kweku Asare aware that Gabby has made a more destabilising invectives on the legal system, the whole Supreme court because his cousin has LOST BIG time, second time in the court??

Mr Armstrong, I totally agree with all that you said about the judiciary but that about that uncivilized, uncouthed and tribalist Ken Agyapong, In fact, the AG shouldn't have gone to court in the first place because the law was on his side. What he said was despicable but legally he was within his freedom of speech right. For lack of time, let me say that what he said did not present any clear and present danger to the country or any community or group or individual. Why do I say that? No person or group was attacked in the wake of that stupid statement. That is what the law looks at in terms of ill-effect of free speech.
I think the AG should have known this trite position of the law before he took the case to court.
As for Prof Asare his own writing exposes his hypocrisy. Go and read what he himself wrote about scandalizing the court just a few weeks back and you would understand how intellectually dishonest he is. He is a danger to our society. And must be exposed.

Waiting for an adverse effect or impact of the wicked and fascist, dangerous and barbaric statement from that Kennedy Agyepong they called him or so and the immense silence from this Kweku Asare et al., is a sheer hypocrisy and shows how the tiger's spot never vanishes!!

Do you know the foreigners in the bushes of the Ashanti and Eastern regions that were murdered or killed under mysterious circumstances during the 1950s and 1960s through their Mate Meho campaigns??
How will all assaults in the Ashanti be verified that it wasn't due to the incitement caused by Kennedy Agyepong, calling for the heads of the Gas and the Ewes??
What even happened to the Ewes that were killed and whose thatch houses were burnt in the Central region towards the death of the Prof Mills administration??
There was a big silence on that? At least i don't know what became of that episode where someone was caught and who confessed as the assilant of the chief, and not the Ewes at all!! Ghana needs impartial judiciary and politicians above the tribal and blood feelings that dominate the political landscape in Ghana!! If you see the agitations and insults from the cousins of the defeated kapwepwe and whose bogus mantra of self glorification, among others, "y3n akan fuo, all die be die, at all cost" as if Ghana is a tribal entity or one's father's garden that must be acquired at all cost!!

Well, "to err is human." Take care, brother.

Prof. Asare, you went where you are not normally noted for. I guess you are taking the SC judgment too hard, obviously all your hard work on behalf of the NPP and the petitioners did not help. I must state here that I also disagree with Tsatsu's comments. They were not necessary and to me showed poor judgment. Such comments, in the current political environment, were definitely unhelpful. I will not refer to what others on your side of the political divide have said after the SC judgment. I leave that to your objective mind to assess for yourself.
What really disturbed me was you linking Tsatsu to "his relative" Captain Kojo Tsikata, mentioning the latter's alleged role in the horrific murder of the 3 Judges and the retired army officer in 1982. Prof. Asare, I assume you may have read the Special Investigation Board (SIB ) report and the then Attorney General's comments and recommendation after the report. You have a legal background, I am told, so for you to ignore the facts and cast insinuations the way you did was beneath your status. You see, political affiliations should not cloud our judgments. We have younger audience who may not know the history and the facts. It is our duty to make sure that we state what are facts, and what are tainted opinions. To insinuate that somehow Tsatsu’s comments on Justice Anin Yeboah constituted a threat, possibly on the life of the Justice was not only scandalous, it has absolutely no basis. Tsatsu’s “relative” had something to do with the murder of judges in the past so Tsatsu is about to murder another judge.
Nobody has tried the retired Captain for any murder and Tsatsu has not been accused of anything regarding the sad/horrific/brutal murder of the Judges and the retired army officer. People in your camp continue to use that horrible case to whip up sympathy from the Judiciary, even when it is not necessary. I hate equating situations but there are surviving relatives of your side’s murderous rampage during and after the 1966 coup. Nobody holds that against you, Prof. Guilt by “relations” when even no such guilt has been legally been established? You should know better !!!
We all heard what the retired Captain during the Reconciliation Committee hearings. Nobody has challenged his version of events.
May be you know something we don’t.

Tsatsu said wrong regarding the judge who contributed to his imprisonment? He was factual and legal in his evaluation of the attitude of that judge and never used one insult on him. If you have nothing to write, don't write rubbish.
Tsatsu's "law" is outdated. The law must deal with him if the need arises. He can no longer hide behind the "powers that be" and belittle our judicial system.
Basing your condemnation of Tsatsu on the fact that he is the brother of Kojo Tsikata is baseless and rubbish.
We are talking current issues and of facts where Anim Yeboah has been observed to have allowed his judgment clo ...

Nothing can forever remain secret. Tsatsu's deeds and misdeeds will come to the surface and he can never go unpunished including whoever was among the group that killed our judges. They know that Ghana is not their property.
Well said, my friend. This criminal Tsatsu thinks, with the support of his so-called followers, that he is the best thing that ever happened to the law profession in Ghana. Fuck this thieve called Tsatsu!
You are not different from Tsatsu. You are probably worst.
"Kojo Tsikata and Tsatsu Tsikata are related. Because of this sordid history, Tsatsu’s recent attack on Justice Anin Yeboah is extraordinarily grave and deserving of more than just condemnations..."
Thoughtless...
You are worse than Mr Tsatsu Tsikata. Stop shouting from the roof top and smell the coffee. Go read the opinion of Mr Tsikata and carefully digest it. Your article does not make sense it was just to attack Tsatsu to satisfy y ...

This is indeed an unkind cut. I actually commented on of Azar's articles and said he had a point. In effect, I commended him instead of attacking him.

what of the gruesome murder of the Yaa Naa in 1969 and 2002 in which over 100people were murdered compare.
I am surprised at your writing. But Tsatsu with all these impudence as you said has won the petition case. Inasmuch as I do not support Tsatsu for his latest rhetorics, I will want to say that your submission is so myopic.
I just want you to come and explain this to the world:

Is Asare calling for Tsatsu to be put on trial for scandalizing the Court? He is not. He is asking for discipline by the GLC not by the Court. So there is nothing inconsistent with his two positions. In fact, I think his pisi ...

As a layman, I can only assume that even with his presidential pardon, Tsatsu's criminal conviction still stands. That being the case, is it legally permissible for him to practice? If not, why has no-one taken it up in the c ...
