The fact that the writer limited herself to the Nayele's case doesn't mean that what she brought up hasn't played out or is not playing out in a lot of the cases handled or being handled currently in our courts.

Just look at the KWAW Kesse and KKD cases... how many times were those cases adjourned before the defence lawyers got wise and started playing the 'sick card' game?
Were those not a waste of meager public and private resources?
That's the question this writer is trying to get answered.
So next time, take your own advice and "not just get up from bed to write without thinking through what you were writing about."

If anyone thinks justice is going to be served in this case that smells of top official complicity, he should as well think about Woyome's.
ONTIE OBIAA.

The wheel of justice turns very slowly in Ghana. Is it for financial gain? Petty theives receive long sentences not commensurate the their crimes. God save us

The Ghanaian judicial system of justice is a " wait and see " journey. Sorry, the " see " hardly comes to any just and meaningful justice. The longer it takes, the less just it becomes. For true justice, only time dictates the results. And we all know what that means whether you're rich or poor. A copy cat system that plays dog when it sees meat.

Like everything we "borrowed" from our former colonial masters and anything we copy from the western world, we have become mere failed copycats by putting our spin or our interpretation on it and having it so 'watered' down that it eventually fails to achieve what it was initially or originally meant to achieve.
Look at our political system... we said we wanted a western type of democracy but we ended up with a "winner takes all" constitution that allows the ultimate winner to alienate every one else and embraces the "yentie obiaa" mentality to the detriment of the nation and at the same time promotes massive corruption, thievery, mediocrity, non-accountability at all levels and disrespect for the governed.
Look at our educational system... we had a system that worked but maybe needed a few tune ups here and there for the case of modernization.... but what did we do? We threw away a very good working British type of system and opted for the North American type of educational system without having a better understanding of how it will translate for our children's benefit and now we have a "thousand pound gorilla" type of a educational system sitting on our backs reminding us of how miserably we have failed in that regard. Our children are failing en masse in various examinations with us sitting down and scratching our heads wondering what the hell we did wrong.
So in my opinion, the answer to your question should be:
We are very poor imitators which translates into being lousy copycats because we have the tendency to corrupt any system that otherwise might have worked perfectly.
As always, thanks for providing a platform for me to share my perception on the valid social and political topics you write about, Bernice!!!!
