It is just a matter of Kwesi Pratt Jnr staying in bed to reason, he will find out that in an issue concerning the Supreme Court, the Hight Court would not have jurisdiction over how the supreme court conducts it's business.

WHAT IS HUMILITY?

The question asked is that what is humility? what constitute humility? Many atimes the very people who try to use the phrase humility against their opponents might be a person of no humility. John Hagee is not a pastor of humility. Humility and meekness are not the trait of many pastors I know and listen to in USA.They do not demonstrate humility or meekness in their approach of the gospel. USA by nature is not a nation of meekness or humility.

Humility by definition is the question of being humble or a modest sense of one's importance.Meekness is synonymous to meek, except meek is your new nature in Christ Jesus and humility is acting meek in your persuasions. The word humiliate originated from the word humility. Humiliate means put down by other people. Only the creator has the right to humility others, the rest in creation have to go through the proper order to humiliate. Normally, humiliation occurs out of jealousy, wickedness, insecurities and as corrections which is for goodness.

Collosian 2:16; So let no one judge you in food,drink, regarding a festival, a new moon of sabbaths(JEW!!!!JEW), which are a shadows of things to come, but after substance which is of CHRIST JESUS(FAITH). Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility( MIDI MEKWASEA PE NYENKYE"), the book of 1st corinthians says let your yes be yes and no be no, and worship of angels intruding into things which we have not seen, vainly puffed up by their fleshly mind, not holding fast to the HEAD(CHRIST JESUS) from whom all the body nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments grows with the increase that is from the Lord God.

Acts 20:19; Serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the jews. Serving the Lord Jesus Christ is a sign of meekness, which means yielding to the salvation gospel from Christ Jesus is humbleness of heart. Glorify Christ Jesus is to meek oneself to God almighty. Therefore humility is not a mandate from politicians who are full of slanderings.

2Timothy 2:24; A servant of the Lord Jesus must not quarrel, but be gentle to all not just jews, able to teach, patient in humility, not involuntory humility correcting those who are in opposition. If God perhaps will grant those in opposition repentance.

1Peter5:1 going; The elders who are among you I exhort, as a fellow elder and a witness of the suffering of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed. Shepherding the flock of the lord God, serving as an oversears(lead sheep) not by compulsion(false humility), but willingly, not for dishonest gain(financial riches) but eagerly, nor as being Lords(bruising heads for sins) over those entrusted to you.Instead be an example to the flock.When the Christ Shepherd appears, you'll receive the crown of glory that does not fade away. IF you can read Titus 3 going.

Oh you mean that property owning socialist? He puts political titles on himself and some Ghanaians believe him. Kwasi should not stray into territories he is not well versed in. The Chief justice is not an abcedarian when it comes to law and the SC judges are aware. She knows where her boundaries are and it is not timee for ALMIGHTY Kwasi, Father know all to come and lecture us on any law. He can go ahead with his hypocritical and stomach Journalism.

My brother say it again. He is another big fool in Ghana who opens his big MOUTH BEFORE thinking. He would have been the first man to organise his bunch of idiots to HIT the streets in Accra if the supreme court hearing had been done behind closed doors. He would have argued that the people have the constitutional right to know what is going on. Now this same idiot wants this hearing to have gone on behind closed doors. I do not blame him because some people follow him. Kwasi Pratt is a BIG FOOL.

pepeni can not be trusted period , in this world today when Muslims and their undercover agents disguised as Christians have the agenda to destroy all virtues and values we uphold we must be vigilant and not be deceived. Boston paid the price already and here in Ghana we see the inflation of northerners across all parties following the instructions of their imams and religious leaders to seize control of the country to undermine and destroy the Akans, for which pepeni found allies with ewes and gas who have the same agenda and motives. look at akuffo addo the bofrot of a fool who took as his vice bawumia who could even bring him a single vote from the north and even whose mother campaigned against him . see general mosquito the court jester of a goat serving this regime that will annihilate his own people one day. these are serious times for those who can look at the ugly truth in the face and tell these devils to get lost. our people get poorer by the day despite the wealth we sit on , no water and electricity , every week one shortage or another of basic goods and services yet their propaganda machinery tell us all is well and normal . every office and institution of govt is in the vice grip of corruption as they make sure only selfish greedy bastards control them, no jobs or development as kotoka and rawlings the ewes saw to that now pepeni will finish the job of putting the final nails in the coffin of the Akans but we have the medicine for him. we shall most surely be free sooner or later from this devil, long live the republic of Akan

my brother the 9 judges are to deliver justice in judgement to the people, but the refurbishment of the court rooms & buildings are the duty of the CJ to see to it that necessary gadgets are in place-
if you are arguing about the time factor of the directives i will partially agree with you that it could ridicule the 9 justices judgement on the same issue but my brother better late than never, The CJ took the opportunity of this case to bring the long awaited dream of how our court should be looked like .

I hope our honourble learned justice may take the directives in good faith and ask for more to make their work easire in the court room.

as you can see that the telecast has watered down the tense that was building up in the country .

Kwasi Prat, you are partially wrong. This case is difficult one and can develope to war. The Chief justice is first, protecting the judges because of the nature of the case, if something comes, like war they (Judges) will be held responsible. CJ will be first to be blamed so if every-one hears the case him/herself they will agree with the decision. CJ is now the HEAD of the "COUNTRY" and judges will bring peace or war. Mahama in my opinion, is the president and CJ is the Supreme Head now. You can oppose everything, who cares?

Ladies and gentlemen of the web, Kwesi Pratt is only casting doubt on the Judges because it didn't go his way to have his way at the court and come back to tell lies to Ghanaian public. Let us open our eyes and read his statements carefully. The Supreme Court Judges made any decision on a vote cast by themselves. It's not only the Chief Justice decision but all the panel of Judges that decide on a particular issues and voted on it and the number of votes cast by the judges wins. So please don't let Kwesi Pratt fool you in that he is very surprised of change of events as his plans was go to court, come back and tell Ghanaian public lies. This time no more lies as we all are witnessing this historic event on TV. Thanks to the SC wise decision

Kwesi Pratt, is the decision made by the SC on live TV broadcast of the on going court case between the NDC. EC and NPP a bad idea and what's wrong with it, Kwesi Pratt. How did u know the decision was made by only the Chief Supreme Court Judge? Were you there when she made that decision? Are you now one of the Supreme Court Judges? Did you know what's going on behind the scene of these Judges? You may be a learned but your brain is out of touch with realities. From what I have read you are one of the enemies of progress. You don't like the Supreme Court Judges decision to broadcast live on the ongoing court case between NPP, EC NDC. You were very surprise for sudden change of events and trying to blame the Chief Justice. Well Kwesi Pratt, let me tell youGGhanaians have embraced it as it is the right thing to do except you who have your own wicked view. So wicked you don't want Ghanaians to witness this historic events on live broadcast. Your diabolical plans was to go the court house and come back to tell Ghanaians lies that's your nonsense protest. Well Kwesi Pratt, it didn't work well for your ambitions as you alone cannot write the history and let me tell you Mr Pratt even a two (2) year old is part of history so like it or not Ghanaians have embraced it and are enjoying it. You cannot deceive us on this particular historic events, so why don't you shut the fuck off or go to hell if you don't like it. It's two (2) things you got to do Mr Pratt, either you take vacation and come back when the case is done or stay putt, keep your mouth shut and join us watching the live telecast of this historic events as not only Ghanaians but the world over.

Be kind to her. She does not know how to make democratic decisions taking her im colleagues along with her

She would have been better off to have allowed her colleagues an input into the decision making process.

There would have been nothing wrong in summoning a grand meeting of all the Supreme Courts Judges in order to get them to discuss the idea thoroughly after which a decision would be taken. This way the decision would have more support and not be tarnished or classified as a GEORGINA DECISION and so attract unfavourable comments and perhaps sew the seeds of disaffection among the Justices.

On reflection on whose behalf is the telecast being carried out ? The proceedings are in English which is not the language of the majority of Ghanaians. So without arrangements for simultaneous translations into the key Ghana languages, it is meant only a for a minority. the elites, who can be bothered to tune in..

Secondly it turned the Court into show court which our Justices are not used to. No doubt the audio was said to have been difficult because of the sitting arrangements of the Judges.

Thirdly the telecasting risked the danger of distracting the attention of the judges and lawyers from the case to perhaps thoughts about how thy are perceived by the pubic. Judicial decisions are made by well trained and experienced judges not by the public so should not risk being debased in any sort of way . The hope must be that the Judges will not be exposed to undue and distasteful public pressure whichever side they opt in their final judgement.

On the whole the telecasting and the decision to do so could not be said to have advanced our democracy

As much as we all love to see the case live, what he saying holds water. Even though how he come up addressing issues are very unpleasant,but what he saying has little truth in it. First, the CJ excluded herself from the bench and appointed nine Judges to deal with the case and their decisions should stick.We all know that she is their supervisor but to overruled their decision without review seems a little awkward.It has some people thinking that at the end of the trial, whoever wins can be overturned without review. The law states that a judge no matter how high do not overrule another judge without a review.he doesn't deserve insults because that was his opinion even though it came out wrong.

Kwasi Pratt is not sensible than the majority of Ghanaians who wanted to hear the case first hand. By what is going on, Ghanaians can make up the outcome even before the judges gives their ruling. I support it in toto.

simply great idea, what Kwasi means is, can the CJ make unilateral decisions, if yes then we are in Danger.

If I were the president, this CJ would not last a day in office. There are so many abominable things this woman has done but we are reluctant to impeach her. She wants to turn the supreme court into her puppet. We should never allow her to continue her ugly shenanigans behind the scenes. National security need to tail her because she is a threat to our laws and its enforcement
