    Usual Ghanaian attitude of joining bandwagon rather than carefully analysing issues.

    Jack of all trades, expert of nothing. He does not know when he is deficient in knowledge of a subject, nor does he have the courage to admit same!Please mentor a younger mind to take over from you, Kweku!

  • Abeiku 10 years ago

    This contempt case is contemptuous and contemptibly inimical in itself to the laws of the land.

  • CARDINAL 10 years ago

    "A member of the NDC, Abraham Amaliba who was also on the show' defined contempt as a conduct that “defies the dignity of the court.He would rather the contemnor appears before separate judges, not the ones who are making t ...

  • KOLA, MAIN LONDON 10 years ago

    Why are people crying foul when these SC judges stated earlier that they have what it takes to crack the whip?

    The question is, is it within their power to invite and prosecute?

  • STONER KOBYLYNTON 10 years ago

    Kola, in judicial dispensation, you cannot be a prosecutor and at the same time a judge. The judges are totally wrong in this case and I think they should search for a conscience to come and render an apology not only to the ...

    This loud mouthed sycophantic journalist thinks he knows more than the constitution, why should the SC judges sit down and let these idiots make mockery of the SC.

  • YB 10 years ago

    You have said nothing to counter Kwaku's argument but only the usual rubbish from ignorant and brainwashed fool soldiers. If you can't speak to the issue, get the fuck out and don't infect us with your usual nonsense.

  • Selassie Dzokoto 10 years ago

    Don't mind those goons called fool-soldiers. They follow without reasoning hence their ignorance. Today it has affected Ken Kuranchie, tomorrow might be your turn and remember not to grumble or point accusing fingers that day ...

    Atuguba's recommendation will take the bite out of the whole deterrence. By the time the case is adjudicated in another court the original case could be over.

    Akans has big problem to be in the mist of monkey Ewes and Shrine people,it could be better if Akans can separate themselves from Ewes and form their peaceful Godly nation.

  • Wiafe 10 years ago

    So what says the anti-Ewe NPP followers to the Ewe banku and okro stew fed to jailed Kuranche. I thought all Ewes were considered evil--but maybe not.

  • Sali 10 years ago

    Banku and okro is not Ewe traditional food. Who told you Ewe Wiafe that? Did the Ewes feed Kuranchi? Use your brains if you have one.

  • Selassie Dzokoto 10 years ago

    I like your comment so much my brother. Food too we read tribalism into it. Am Ewe but my favorite is fufu and light soup. Lets grow up as a people and eschew trivial issues of this nature.

    Kwaku Baako be cautious, because Atuguba court does not want an opinion that opposes his own.
    Kwaku Baako you may receive 20days in jail for contempt by Atuguba.
