All right thinking Ghanaians must do same. The precedent being set by the AG is catastrophic.
I keep saying it: the AG and CJ should rather focus on improving the conditions of service of staff of the judicial service. There’s nothing wrong with being aligned to a party but it should not be to the detriment of the c ...

The Thief Justice and Attorney General are Partners in Crime (PiC). That's all
They are helping Akuffo Addo to destroy Ghana. Hatred for one person is leading to the destruction of our constitution
The AG behaves like he is been employed to defend the NPP forgetting that he is Attorney general and minister of justice for Ghana. The CJ also acts as if she is an inquisitor employed by the NPP to persecute opponents of the ...

Fellow Ghanaians - I think I now have a full understanding of the reason why some judicial personnel were abducted and brutally murdered way back in the 1980's. Until now, I've been wondering and wishing so much that those pe ...

@Kofi Melchior, the AG and the AG are enemies of justice -- they can't mock God
They careless, they are very wicked people, self serving and corrupt. Dame is not a lawyer, he is just a puppet of Akufo-Addo
@Makafui, this self serving foolish AG won't learn the law and its application but relying on political patronage for cases
You just said it, they are very wicked beings
Dame is a fool, you should know
I don't understand the cacophony of Kwaku Azar who has penchant of chastising and criticing everything. Prof the CJ is performing her work as assigned by the constitution period. She has power to tranfer judges and empanel j ...

The AG has thrown this country into chaos. Any instability must be blamed on him.
This one too is A-G? Such a cheap corrupt boy who only knows judges but not the law
You should trust the local champion to pay his way out...but this one di3 na lie
Prof Azar is public intellectual, what Gramsci refers to as the organic intellectual. Our country is better because of men like Azar. The current CJ is an unmitigated disaster, not fit for purpose. The very worst of what we h ...

The AG is a disease that needs treatment in an isolation unit, he is worse than a pandemic, very corrupt as well
@Victor, very corrupt Chief Justice and AG
@Gilbert: the local champion is not ready to learn from the internationally astute legal brains.
@One Love, this local champion is a disgrace to the legal profession and the judiciary
But what defense has the AG mount here?. His statement only came to confirm what we all know. He has confirm that the CJ ,Torkonu reconstituted the panel that heard the application in January. It has also come to bear that th ...

The woman is a disgrace to women, and shameless people like DAME are abetting this disgusting behavior and denigrating our judiciary system daily
Hahahaha Godfred Dame has nothing sensible to say. He is jittering and confused at the same time. Please pardon him
Diabaa, this AG is not intelligent kraaa
This arrogant Dame yeboah and the wicked lady cj can only be tolerated in the mother serpent of corruption's Ghana. Their cups will soon be full.
Gloria Akufo was principled and that is why she was removed for Dame to come and persecute Akufo Addo's agenda
Dame has no shame, all he is good at doing is getting judges to do his bidding for him. Shameless boy
@Prosper, this AG is bullshit
Prosper, a small boy remote control foolishly
Why does this so called professor keep on disgracing himself like this? This useless professor has never won any case in any court in Ghana or even in the US but he is always the first to criticize judgements of every Superi ...

DAME, ARE PROUD OF THE RULINGS COMING FROM THE SUPREME COURT? YOU'RE SHAMELESS BIGOT....
He had no shame, he is not a lawyer, he is a cheap politician who goes around telling people he is a lawyer, he is so corrupt and disrespectful
There is something called “teach the teacher”
This is exactly what the AG,judges and the CJ need in this country.
They are deficient in the law and their IQ is so low!
Most of them got to status of judges through appoi ...

Jodi Nelson, I pity the AG and CJ for they're playing with fire
Thank you for your comment, you said it all
THE HAPPENINGS AT THE SUPREME COURT OF LATE LEAVE MUCH TO BE DESIRED. THE THUGS OF GOONS ON THE BENCH HAVE SUNK THE IMAGE OF THE JUDICIARY SO LOW THAT IT WILL TAKE NEW CROP JUDGES TO RESTORE THE TARTARED IMAGE THE JUDICIARY.
DAME IS ALL OVER THER PLACE IN AN ATTEMPT TO JUSTIFY THE UNTHINKABLE.
Ghana paa!! So what kind of system is this? The chief justice and the AG are obviously in cahoot. No one should expect justice under this witch chief justice.
This moulder Akuffo Addo AG paaaaaaa de33333 hmmmmm he means something else ooooooo
The AG and the CJ are behaving like there is no tomorrow or tomorrow is judgement day. Stupid things that others have done elsewhere that has thrown their countries into chaos is what they are doing. But they should take a lo ...

This Godfred Odami guy thinks all Ghanaians are dumb right? What is he defending here? This politically tainted judiciary can never be trusted.
At this point I can confidently tell you that The Attorney General is like Abronye
It is not a surprise thing at all because we don't expect an Injustice AG not to defend a Bias Chief Justice.
When we have a Lawless government, this is what normally happened

TORKORNOO HAS SUNK THE IMAGE OF THE JUDICIARY DEEPER THAN THE TITANIC. IT CAN NOT BE REDEEMED.......
God bless Kwaku Azar. The new CJ is very useless.
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS AN INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY IN GHANA UNDER AKUFO ADDO AND BAWUMIA. WHAT WE HAVE IS NPP LEGAL TEAM.
It is absolutely disgusting that some Ghanaians support the complete rubbish from Kwaku Asare who appears to be suffering from a primitive sense of self importance. His proposal that a mere Court Registrar shoul be made the H ...

MADAM CJ, HOW CAN YOU ALLOW THIS SMALL BOY A-G PUSH YOU TO THE SILLY THINGS YOU ARE CONDONING AT THE COURTS? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?
Hmm this childish AG won't learn from seniors --- tomorrow is pregnant
WHO IN HIS OR HER RIGHT SENSE WASTE HIS TIME PLEASING AN OCTOGENARIAN WHO WILL NOT BE HERE TOMORROW TO DEFEND THEM WHEN THE NEED BE? MAYBE, A SHAMELESS BIGOT........
Under Bawumia and Akufo Addo, corruption is legalized. No one can question corrupt activity of a minister or any body.
The childish AG is deserving of this welcoming criticism but wallahi he won't learn
The so-called wise people are quiet and watching sheepishly the barbaric acts of this Dame guy and CJ. Ghanaians will make a decision soon. Those quiet must continue to be quiet. We shall return and it will be brutal.
May God of death visit both the CJ and the AG for the betrayal of truth and justice
for this attorney general he lacks intelligence just like akufo addo
This Attorney General is the worst we have ever had in Ghana. He is very vindictive and incompetent.
We leave this bankrupt AG into the hands of God
This boy called Odame and CJ will destroy this country if care is not taken,
He Gofred odame should continue this atrocious behavior and defame an innocent man. God is the final judge and won't deal with them contempt.
The Chief Justice has always been dictated to by the Attorney General Dame and Akufo-Addo.
This clearly shows that Akufo-Addo is controlling the Judiciary with Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo as a puppet.
The current Chief Justice is clearly doing the bidding of her paymasters which is the NPP
The judicial system in Ghana needs total overhauling and purge for law and order for justice to prevail. What we are witnessing now under Akufailure Addict and Bawumiliar is nothing but a the absurdity of injustices
Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo is the worst CJ we've ever had in Ghana
Odame seem not to understand the laws of Ghana. He treats the Constitution as toilet paper. As for the CJ, she should be prosecuted for subversive action
Dame or what ever his name is will be disgraced soon
Godfred Dame is not only a criminal but the devil’s incarnate..
He will see when power change hands
Dame is destroying his future for being too partisan with issues. In fact, dame should just close his mouth
Akuffo Addo's government has brought the judiciary to its knees. The court is now an extension of the executives so Akuffo and Godfred Dame do whatever pleases them to the courts. People have lost trust in the court system be ...

THESE ARE GRANDCHILDREN OF SATAN. SHAMELESS BIGOTS. YOUR STUPID RULINGS WILL COME AND BITE YOU HARD.
Godfred Dame can hire al the judges in Ghana to fight Dr Opuni innocence, Jesus won the fight for Dr Opuni on the cross and his resurrection
THE WHOLE JUSTICE SYSTEM OF GHANA IS CORRUPT UNDER THE CRIMINAL AND FAKE LAWYER AKUFFO ADDO. BUT WE WILL FIGHT TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY FROM THIS FOOLS LEADING US TODAY.
This AG thinks he’s god…. Gods anger will be upon them… CJ thinks she can use her powers cos She is god
The thief justice of morally corrupt like serwa broni
God bless you prof.kwaku Azar, Ghana needs more of you to make the difference. As for Godfred Odami and Gertrude Torkonu, they should continue destroying our judiciary with their partisan stands.
I pray this Godfred Dame guy lives long to see what posterity has for him. He will surely pay for those stupid actions of his
O'dummy must get serious and stop being unreasonable
O'dummy's support of CJ, is an indication that they're both spearheading the evil agenda of their appointer
And for the CJ , the least said about her the better. A disgrace to womanhood
Godfred Odami is defending who ? He is the most useless attorney I have come across.
Using the court as a tool for political persecution is wrong and the chief justice must be first person to know this.
Stop political persecution of Dr Opuni
This Attorney General and Chief Justice will cause mayhem one day. Their action will create chaos in this country. So must dishonesty!
Rmember this ' I cannot sleep Akuffo Addo as president of Ghana, it not safe, no, no, it not safe, and I can repeat it, and I m repeating it, I can't sleep with Mans Akuffo as president of Ghana, that's my opinion '. I hope w ...

Is only a coup that can silence this idiot's in power piriod.
Nothing is right about this trial. Unfortunately the chief justice, attorney general and the jubilee house desperation is very amazing. Dr. Opuni is a heroic.
The CJ is a puppet for the government and make sure all cases are won by government. If power changes her career is over as when corruption cases are heard in the court, that’s when the npp would strike to blame the governm ...

The chief justice think that she can go to a higher level of attack on innocent Opuni as all their tactics are flailing to give the expected wicked plan against Opuni
The chief justice who si g praises of the president like a serial caller is a threat to administration of justice in Ghana
Godfred Dame and the chief justice have been exposed as very corrupt and biased and wouldn't be fair in administration of justice

Over 7 years and the state is desperately looking for how to destroy innocent citizens for political expediency. Godfred Dame and Gertrude Torkonoo will die in their desperation
Chief justice Torkonu is promoting lawlessness and we have such a useless judge as our chief justice
This country is getting close to a tipping point of lawlessness, the way custodians of
the law are behaving. If they plunge this country into chaos, posterity will not forgive them
Professor Azar if you want to be relevant then come down to Ghana. Even Steve Wonder has bought a house and made Ghana his home. I mean you are making too much empty noise. off with your nonsense
STEVE WONDER CAME HERE FOR FUN. NO SERIOUS INVESTOR WANTS TO PUT HIS INVESTMENT IN AN ECONOMY WHERE THE JUDICIARY IS MANIPULATED TO PLEASE THE POLITICAL ELITE, IDIOT.....
The akyem mafia's puppets
TORKORNOO'S VOTE BROUGHT HONYENUGA BACK TO THE OPUNI'S CASE WHEN SUPREME COURT HAD EARLIER BARRED HONYENUGA FROM SITTING ON THE CASE. THE SAME TORKORNOO TRANSFERRED JUSTICE KWASI ANOKYE GYIMAH WHEN THE CASE WAS REASSIGNED TO ...

A..G must have a modicum of respect to Ghanaians. Is he being a spokesman to the Chief Justice or as an interested party in the matter? The least said about this AG the better
Note: In every case this CJ has been on the panel, she has ruled in favour of NPP. She is NPP through and through. Extremely partisan!
