Look at this NDC creep fool. Go and read the constitution that governs Ghana and listen to what it says about Ghanaians who have been "Alleged" about a crime. Do you think the AG is using NDC constitution to put Ghanaians before the courts?

Have you forgotten what they said about Cecilia Dapaah, and is the lady at Nsawam serving how many years in jail? Why is Ayine struggling to have an easy day in court with Adu Boahen?

In any civilize society, this case will be thrown out due the AG's pronouncement of guilty verdict before the proceeding to the court which is obliged to that.

@ Mr Peaceful
Are you insane? There are processes in the USA and UK etc to follow enshrined in law. I live in UK. The USA or UK cannot deport illegal immigrats until they are given Legal representation in an immigration tribunal. It can take years but Donald Trump is bypassing the USA Congress law through abuse of power.

@kojo poku-london UK. You rather is insane. Who cares about where you live. In the first place, why do you enter somebody's country illegally? Donald Trump doesn't want to spend tax payers money to trial someone who already guilty of been in the country illegal. What do you have to tell the stupid country who receives the deported illegal immigrants.

There's something ideologically wrong with the NPP. Anyone who joins the party becomes cognitively blunt. The AG is the lawyer for the country and the citizens are his clients. Don't the citizens have the right to know what their lawyer is doing? Or he should call us one by one into his office and brief us. Secondly, what he read to us was basically the charge sheet which is a public document so why are you all worked up. Thirdly, the AG cannot pronounce someone guilty because he is not a judge. However, the reason for which he and any other prosecutor will go to court is to secure conviction and what has that got to do with public opinion. Those people in question were public servants and to you all that they did should be talked about in the closet but you lie bad. Everything evil that they did will be brought to light.

Donald Trump is illegally deporting other national citizens without trial to third party countries like Ghana and Uganda. Donald Trump is bypassing the USA Congress and killing 39 people in the Caribbean sea.

So if one catches a thief in ones house, you can't accuse or call him a thief until a court of competent jurisdiction together with the Police and crooked lawyers take 6 months and more money spent than what the thief stole from you, before pronouncing the thief guilty - or in some cases, even freeing him? Anokye wake up and don't allow yourself to be seen pandering to the criminals in society.

You can only level accusation against someone in a law court which is the accepted place, not only front of party supporters. Basically that is what the law requires.

Johnny you are a damned fool. When you hold someone as a suspect, what do you hold him as a suspect for? Don't you hold him as a "suspect" for specific offenses that must be known to all and sunder? Either your English comprehension is poor or your basic understanding of life is rotten. This shortcoming adds up to and qualifies you to as an NPP sympathizer. The NPP is hallucinogenic. It has the same effect on its members as substances like fentanyl, red and Marijuana. That party makes its members lose their sense of balance, decency and honesty. It has continued to undo whatever little progress that this country makes and it also brazenly stands in the way of any development effort. No wonder that your party is now referred to as a criminal organization posing as a political party.

Is this lawyer saying the police should keep mute about the offence a criminal has committed until after the end of trial? How many judges were changed and transfered during Opuni's trial. How many perjuries by Adu Ampomah and others were swept under the carpet by that idiot called Honyenuga. Whether powder Lithovit fertilizer oooo whether liquid Lithovit fertiliser oooo by force the case must go on till thy kingdom come. The Stupidity and hypocrisy in this country must stop. This is a lawyer I respect a lot but what is he saying. Guilty people like Inspector Twumasi are in a prison van. Has the AG put anyone in a Black Maria? So why this accusation of finding people guilty.

I don’t understand this A,G at all , if you think someone has committed a crime, get your evidence and take him to court to defend himself, That’s what the law says in our constitution but this AG has made himself a judge before the competent court of jurisdiction what is that. I don’t really know what he’s trying to achieve. No AG anywhere in the world would do such a thing, they all follow the rule of law. If judges the person before court and found no guilty what are you going to tell the public.

The only reason why the state is prosecuting these cases is because the state thinks the accused are guilty - and if not so they won’t go to court. If the AG is convinced that they can't secure a conviction, they wont go to court.
The AG is the top law enforcement officer, and he has every duty to inform the people why he thinks the accused are guilty. It is up to the Judge to agree or disagree based on the evidence presented.
After all, this is not even a trial by jury.
