And on the old Selormey case, if prosecution sat on evidence suggesting the Leebda company did exist, couldn't the defence team also get other supporting documents to show the existence of the said company ?

NO it does not work that way. Prosecutors have wide powers and can behave recklessly with no punishment.
Many of Trumps cases were useless but the prosecutors charged anyway. From the New York case for instance, the Prosecutors were not able to present his offence anyway but they prosecuted and judge shopped to secure a conviction.
This conviction they knew will be overturned on appeal but they don't care.
With the Selormey case as you say, a lot of evidence was hidden which would have made it difficult for the judge to find him guilty but there is no way the defence can squeeze that out of them.
They will just deny and the judge will go along saying we cannot go into the prosecutors head.
If the defence bring counter evidence, the judge will just say it is the prosecutors case not the defendants case so the defendant cannot be making a case or assume the rights of the prosecutor.
Prosecutors are very powerful people.

There is a problem with our education system. This chew and pour thing is destroying our ability to look at issues critically.
My reference to Trumps issue was from a legal point of view. Oh no, my people launched into personalities and ad hominen attacks. Lord have mercy.
@kwaku, how did you come to say i live in the US in the first place?
If citizens in the US decide to vote for a president to run out criminals and those who just walked into the country, how does it affect your kenkey and fried fish?
Unfortunately, civic education is lost in that country called Ghana so people like @Kwaku just cant reason around governance.
Now, if you had conscience and want to measure the actions and or inactions of US citizens and their elected President, you should be calling for Ghana to cancel the National ID project and allow everyone to just walk into the country and do what he or she pleases.
Oh, you cannot criticise an equally exclusionary project isn't it?
Back to what is wrote. Read it again or better still, make a cut out of it and paste on your bedroom wall. You MAY understand.
I was fortunate to attend only one tertiary institution in Ghana and left to school in places where critical evaluation is the norm in all assessments.
THANK YOU.

The family of Aceampong, Akuffo, Afrifa and Yaw Boakye can also write a similar statement in support of the very reckless statement that came up in parliament recently. Let's be measured in our interpretation of the past

@Kofi please don’t misrepresent the judicial process. The initial onus is on the Prosecutor to establish a “prima facie” case against the accused after which the accused would defend himself ; the the judge would give his decision based on all the evidence presented.

I am expecting the relatives of 3 former heads of state and 6 military officers to also give their accounts. Not forgetting the 3 high court judges, and journalist Jones Kugblenu. Their relatives must come out and give their account on how they were and are still traumatized and stigmatized. Not forgetting the radio presenter at GBC radio 2.

The courts have set many people free, but the few politicians jailed are always said to have been jailed wrongly and unfairly(political persecution).

Why did ex-President Kuffour killed Victor Selormey and also tried to kill Tsatsu Tsikata without full due process by keeping sick men in jail because he political witch-hunting. Why did ex-President Mill refused to go after corrupt people in Kuffour's government - there was absolutely not a single arrest for all the abuses and lootings done in Kuffour's time in office. So Kuffour and all his officials were perfect angels - President Mill woefully failed Ghanaians in that respect. Less than 90 days to hand over power, Kuffour had the courage to change the cedi and also devalue the cedi by 10, 000 times with the introduction of a Ghana New Cedis , when then becomes equal to one US dollar. That caused a serious damage to our Ghana 's economy and Kuffour quickly hand over to Pres Mills after looting the new cedis that he printed. Akuffo Addo also came and printed 100 and 200 cedis bills and looted as much as he can. They need to be arrested and trail in a fast court quickly and let those are for jail start serving their time in jail and let those that will die in jail, also die in jail. There are so many that, some will have to serve in other Prisons outside Nsawam. Mahama should not waste time for us in setting up a special court to fast track this high profile suspect for trial as we have no time to waste.

A thief is a thief. Arrest Akuffo Addo. NPP should Replace Bawumia and NAPO with Dr Adutwum and Ken Agyapong. The break the 8 years plan of the greedy Akyem Mafia DID NOT WORK. Bawumia is a LOSER. the North of Ghana reject Bawumia. The greatest African of the Century was betrayed by the Akyem Abuakwa Mafia looking for a free lunch and unemployment benefits-J B Danquah. Dr Kwame Nkrumah Statute stands in Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia but his own people he fought selflessly for-betrayed him and destroyed his statutes. Very sad-WE ARE IN ECONOMIC SLAVE TRADE NOW. Oh Mother Africa-your children are LOST IN THE WILDERNESS OF UNPATRIOTISM. I ask your foolish AND UNPATRIOTIC Children-WILL A WHITE MAN OR WOMAN COLLECT A BLACK MAN OR WOMAN MONEY TO GO AND OVERTHROW THEIR GOVERNMENT? The ANSWER IS OBVIOUS-NO, NO, NO. Because white people are patriotic and WILL NEVER betray their Nation through Coup Detat.

But this is exactly what J B Danquah and his Akyem Tiny population of Ghana did. J B Danquah was a CIA Agent-passing messages to the Whiteman and woman to receive MONEY. To betray his own country. The white man or woman-will do the opposite. J B Danquah went to the US Embassy in Accra to ask why his FREE LUNCH and UNEMPLOYMENT Benefits from the CIA had stopped? The white man and woman are USERS. This is because when J B Danquah was in prison for plotting to have Dr Kwame Nkrumah assassinated and bombed several times-the White man and woman saw there-he was of NO USE to them-because he was NO MORE ABLE to provide them the information to help overthrow Dr Kwame Nkrumah and so they stopped paying J B Danquah his free LUNCH and Unemployment Benefits.
AFRICA UNITE-BOB MARLEY SAID IT SEVERAL TIMES.
If Africa DO NOT UNITE-We WILL FOREVER BE CLEANING THE WHITE MAN AND WOMAN TOILETS-Our children are economic slaves in the white man and woman country. The white man only want us to produce the raw materials for their added value products from our raw materials to bring them back and sell them to us at ASTRONOMICAL prices. OH AFRICA-OH AFRICA-when are we going to realise that the white man and woman are using us for their own selfish ends.
BLACK PEOPLE ARE DOOMED FOR EVER.
Now the white man and woman are telling us to become GAY-before they give us loans who have to pay back 10 times. I tell you the consequences to being GAY- You get HIV/AIDS for being GAY. But Africa have no medicines or hospitals to treat our sick people. You see the wickedness of the white man and woman. They know that we are FOOLS and we BLACKS always betray ourselves to them. We have no medicines or hospitals to treat our AIDS/HIV people but they want AFRICA to be infested with AIDS/HIV more. Africa have to pay for hospital treatment and medicines. IN the White man or woman countries-Hospitals and medicines are FREE OF CHARGE. They cheat us through TRADE. Take our goods free of charge, take our oils free of charge.
Ghana oil does NOT belong to Ghana, Ghana Gold does not belong to GHANA-They sign extortionate agreements with us and RIP US OFF. All that we receive is small taxation and royalties and that small money is stolen by the Akyem Abuakwa CRIMINALS.

Which politician has sinned in Ghana before ? If a politician is facing court trials, his party members and close relatives will say it's a political witch hunt as mentioned in this article. Why are we like that koraa ? Because of the same reason, political witch hunt, this government or the current AG has dismissed all high profile cases involving ndc members. Every government says it will fight corruption and it has become a lip service and I find it difficult to understand why every government doesn't see corruption within but only outsiders. Why chasing your political opponents perceived to be corrupt and but discontinued cases pending before courts involving your party members ?

Just a distortion of history to paint Victor Selormey as a SAINT. He was no such saint. He and Adodakpi stole from the Technology park funds. They siphoned the funds & transferred them to one Prof Boadu in Texas in the US for their personal use. There were several corruption charges against him and in one case he negotiated to pay the stolen money back.
