BOKOR JNR, is that all you can say? Just to insult without any basis? I suggest you read again only the dictum of the judge in the qouted case of REPUBLIC versus LIBERTY PRESS LTD. AND OTHERS [1968] GLR 123–138. May be that would tickle your slumbering brain. Believe you me, that dictum answers all the brouhaha about the exercise oc the contempt powers of the Supreme Court. Sometimes, I feel some of you forumers are just being academically bankrupt.

Rawlings has spoilt ewes and anlos of Volta Region...They only think about political power in Ghana and not Togo or Benin, where they are never going to get a foothold there ever...and so Ghana politics is what they eat and breath daily...because of the golden opportunities they reaped under JJ Rawlings and his tribalistic chum, Kojo Murderer Tsikata...

but politics is not always sweet as they let others know; it can be sorrowful...I strongly feel that one day the table will turn and all these anloga children of harlots will taste the bitter pill of Ghana politics.

we have seen our own; from the anloga perilous hands but they are yet to see it first hand in this very country called Ghana...it will be like tsunami when they are once toppled and lined up to be brutalised as they did to us

Nothing lasts forever including the loud mouthed nonsense of anloga ewe people of volta region...they will one day be lined up after a bloody coup de tat and I will have a good laugh...I wish its sooner than later but believe me, it will happen soon in our lifetime!

I thought a man of your intellect will not frown on a peaceful, democratic path such as what the NPP have done but to praise them. Haven't you seen/heard enough in the SC to tickle your brain that the elections were massively flawed? Why do hate a man who has a good record on fighting for democracy in Ghana? Grow up.

OMANBA, THE ISSUE IS WHETHER THE MASSIVE FLAWED ELECTION AFFECTED ONLY THE VOTES OF JOHN MAHAMA AND NOT NANA ADDO SINCE IT WAS ONE ELECTION CONDUCTED BY ONE BODY THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF GHANA.

NANA ADDO IS NOT THAT DEMOCRATIC AS YOU WANT US TO BELIEVE AND FOR THAT MATTER TO LIKE HIM. WHAT DID HE DO BEFORE GOING TO THE COURT? WHERE YOU IN GHANA WHEN THEY WERE GATHERING AT OBRA SPORT AND VILIFYING PEOPLE PERCEIVED TO BE THEIR OPPONENTS?

Bokor, it is said that the Leopard can never change its spots. You can never change your twisted minded idiocy and hatred for the Nana. After you stupid and tribalism fueled support for the demented Kpegah I thought you have realised the folly of your foolish ways.But alas I grossly underestimated you natural capacity for stupidity. Wise up. Your brand of tribalism is no more in vogue, you can ask Kofi Awonnor.

Calm down and read Dr. Bokor's thread again. The heading is confusing to many NPP apologists. The Akuffo Addo in the post is the father of the 2012 presidential candidate of the NPP party! Calm down the emotions!!!

Sir, is your article not a commentary on the case? By stating that Nana Addo is trying to become President through the backdoor, rather than the polling booth, are you not, in your know-all stance, suggesting that the constitution is an ass for allowing him that right? Are your references to Mate Me Ho not indicicative of your bias? Can you look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself, in all honesty, that it is only memebers of the NPP who think the SC is being heavy-handed?
I have always been of the opinion that good education emanciptes the mind from the fetters of political myopia. Your article stands you out as a classic example of someone whose education has made you too one-dimensional.
Please, Sir, you are no more qualified to speak on the matter than your average NPP/NDC supporter. You are a Ghanaian, just like the rest of us, and should subject yourself to the same rules. Or you have a title, Dr, so think you are more qualified?

I am.happy u said personal attack on the judges .let them go to.chraj . Not to intimidate Ghanaians the only thing that is above the judges is the constitution ..No clause whatsoever, or authority can override the constitution .the act of contempt is a court clause that is soo much inferior and unrecognisable to the freedom of speech ....if they think they can't stand pressure and critique , they must recruise themselves..by saying a jugde was selective and hippocritical in his pronouncement by Awuku does not whatsoever have link to the main subject matter of alleged electoral fraud before it ...I think you cant place Awuku s words in any wrongful Act in the constitution ....because a by the constitution , it must describe an wrong act and prescribe a punishment for it and this must be in the constitution , not any law or clause or authority but if there is a law or authority to be used as a measure for punishment, it must be in tandem with the constitution but not to override the law of freedom of speech , which is, the bedrock of our very existence as a democratic country..without that, we are not .....If Awukus comments were hate speech to incite people against each other or breach of constitution, fair in enuf ..but judges are not above criticism ..

For as long as they refused to be educated and live a normal civilise life as human beings, these primitive rat hunting Asante/Akyem would continue to be problem in this country.Isn´t it for lack of education that Akufo Addo and his family members kept on deceiving them even when it is very clear that they have no case to fight at the court? These are the problems we,ve got to deal with.Having said so, we will not sit down unconcerned for these people to destroy this country because their god,Akufo Addo has been collectively rejected by Ghanaians to become president.Nobody can cow the court to submit to his will.The Akufo Addo led NPP thought because they have packed the court to do the dirty jobs for them all along, the same is going to happen when my valid votes would be thrown away in favour of a wee smoker and a fake lawyer to become president.Listen to the racist remarks all over the airwaves! When has Bawumia became an Akan? Listen the racist remarks by that silly and useless certificate buyer called Gabby against the president of the panel? No matter what, their Akufo Addo will never and never be president of this country. Since when have they become the custodians of freedom of speech in this country? A traitor and unpatriotic arrogant person like Akufo Addo. Was he not this same Akufo Addo who had openely supported the Ivory Coast against mother Ghana? And he wants to be president! He is out of his drug addict minds.

Dear Mr Bokor I find your article quite interesting and educative except on the grounds that you showed your political stand in the later part of your piece. Every parent likes his/her children even sometimes the child may be wrong so is Ghana politics which it will take years to eradicate it whether you like it or not. I think both NDC and NPP are guilty of the issue of contempt. Did you hear Kofi Adams the dusty NDC secretary saying that for nana Addo to win the election petition is like turn the flow of volta lake up stream? Do you listen to the so called minority and majority caucuses of both parties on joy tv? So sickening that I think it is not good for the piece of the nation.

Of course in ghana tribal affiliations and personal relationships counts a lot unless you are not a Ghanaian ( the nyabros of Ewe, my brother or uncle from the Akans etc) forms part of our day today dealings even we vote on these lines. So for justice Atuguba hailing from the north, his brother also in the NDC government and the president also from the north cannot be over emphasised. That is why people are saying he justice Atuguba and all the nine judges have to gather the courage and live up to the task ahead. I know is not easy for them due to our Ghanaian background as I have stated.

I also thing our justices have entertained such contentious statements for too long and is now difficult to use others as a scape goats at this crucial moment. My suggestion is that they should ignore such comments and concentrate on their jobs. For I have no doubt in my mind that the nine justices will live up to the task in their hands. May God guide them.

Since the Supreme Court[SC] started hearing the petition,Michael Bokor has written several articles commenting on the same.

Even though he supports the notion that "one should refrain from commenting on the petition since it is pending in the SC",the same Bokor,a petulant troll of Kpegah,wouldn't shut his mouth.In fact,he's as guilty as all those he accuses of poisoning the political atmosphere in Ghana with their comments,and,wants them punished.

Below are some of the articles he has written about the petition at the SC:

If not for Akufo-Addo's victory (Part II)

If not for Akufo-Addo’s victory, why is the NPP in court?

The NPP petitioners caught in their own web of lies?

The NPP and it's supporters have always suffered from this disease called "Self Importance".That's why they have a serious problem of understanding the rest of Ghana.

This is logic any kindergarten child understands: the same Constitution that swore in Mahama can unseat him if the Supreme Court judges find out that Afari Gyan stole the election for him. Get it, Doctor Ignoramus?

Your arguments are weak for someone with a PhD - why would there be anti-Atuguba compaign by NPP on the basis of ethnicity? Does the NPP have prominent people from the north? Where does Bawumia come from? Duh!!! If Justice Atuguba is truly related to the President's Executive Secretary, the honorable any reputable justice would do would be to recuse him/herself to avoid being accused of conflict of interest. Unfortunately conflict of interest doesn't exist in Ghana, not even in the Supreme Court.
You wrongly assume that anyone that raises concern about the seemingly dictatorial use of the contempt clause as being an NPP sympathizer. There's more to intellectual discourse than partisan politics. It's amazing how the elite class in Ghana can be oppressive no matter the clothes they wear - whether they wear military fatigues, business suits, academic gowns or judicial wigs!!!
