AUTHOR: MARTIN A.B.K. AMIDU....
It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution...

Are Atu-bugabuga and his fellow taliban judges afraid of John Mahama, who has been spewing out contemptious utterances daily ?
Atu-bugabuga should know that Ghana is not a theocratic state so he cannot be implementing Sharia laws here.
And he shouldn't forget that we were able to force an inhuman,brutal and barbaric dictatorship to return the country to the semblance of a democracy that we have at the moment, without firing a gunshot.
We are always ready to defend oppressors' rule and Atu-bugabuga should take note of that.

I have no qualms if Sir John is pardoned. But I will be hugely disappointed if he is, because this lawyer is a big nonentity who thinks he could spew out just any foolish thing that crosses his mind. In fact there are days I am inclined to believe that he has some mental challenge. Let all who care try to get the voice clip of this NPP buffoon and you will be disgusted. This man spike as if he was sitting under a palm tree and drinking its wine thereof and possibly drunk. He really went to town attacking the personality of a justice Atuguba and really nicking the general public, especially the NPP supporters against the SC judges. I think that such deranged personalities should not be made to go scot free. Sir John had been at late Prof Mills andmcalledmhim all manner if names; indeed disrespecting the presidency. Now he has met his match and he must face the music. Chris, Kpor nyor loo!.

I wonder why, all of a sudden, these NDC people are pleading on behalf of Sir John? Is high time they do away with this Mr. Nice Guy attitudes. Do they think the NPP will be pleading if the culprit was an NDC man? The NPP comes to power and jail NDC members, but when the NDC comes to power, even though they know the NPP people committed worse offenses than them, they are afraid to put even one of them in jail.
It would be a bad precedence if Sir John is treated with kids gloves whilst others were treated with Muhammed Ali's gloves. We are now in a new era therefore things must be done without fear or favor.

OFFICE OF THE ODIKRO
a companion of the black star!
Is Chris Ackumey now a homosexual? Does he sleep with Sir John? How did he know such an incorrigible old man is having sleepless nights? Did Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie not know the consequences of those utterances? Are we trying to elevate such a person above the law?
The wheels of justice may grind slowly, but it grinds fine! Perhaps, someone ought to play back to Sir John, his own words after Dr. Brobbey apologized to the NPP!
These pleas for mercy can only make sense if the suspect in question were to be no other person than a lawyer! Even in that case, it also had to be BEFORE the final warning by the Supreme Court!
It seems some people are hell-bent on taking the Supreme Court for a ride! Sir John's utterances have been outrageous enough for him to languish in jail for an eternity! The court should only pardon him if he can prove that he is not of 18 years old, or of a sound mind!
Ghana needs peace! And we would be playing with fire if we show leniency to political arsonists like this man who ought to have known better! He needs a long prison sentence for him to calm down and meditate on his own stupidity and learn the appropriate lessons!
Long live Ghana!

Paul, I was against the jailing of Ken Kuranchie because he was a journalist and the the fact that he did not receive a fair trial. I also do not believe that because someone was jailed others should receive the punishment, though I now accept that the incarceration of Ken Kuranchie has brought sanity within the political discourse, especially, the Ghanaian media.
Though I would not wish Sir John to receive similar punishment, I just cannot understand why he made those statements attributed to him. First, he is a lawyer and should have known better and set a good example. Second, he is no ordinary person in Ghana but the General Secretary of the main opposition party in Ghana. The party that has petitioned the SC and third, by his position, he has direct interest in the case before the SC. For him to use abusive language on the Presiding Justice is unpardonable. For these reasons, I have no sympathy for him.

Kofi, he made those statements in defiance of the supreme court's actions, thinking he could get away with it.
I happen to believe that the supreme court is within its powers to summon these chaps before it and to act (not an eye for an eye) but to ensure that everyone understands that the laws of the land have to be obeyed.
Tell me Kofi, can you ever imagine a court in the UK giving an order regarding contempt, punishing a few people for breaching the rule and still have others 'daring the court'? It smacks of arrogance and a certain primitive belief that somehow they can rise above the law.
This is typical especially of people who have 'tasted political power' and somehow think just because they could flout the law in office, they can continue to do so.
I read your impressions about the punishment meted out to Kuranchie and Atubiga. I personally didn't think it was harsh for the very reason that when Awuku was punished, it was a simple warning for all, but those chaps (NDC and NPP-supporters) chose to defy the court. Again, it was sheer arrogance and Kuranchie's behaviour in court was disrespectful of the bench, something I abhor.
I am not a lawyer but have served as a juror in England and have nothing but respect for the law. By all means we should be critical of how things are going, but fair, balanced and above all respectful of those who have been put there to do a job. Interference in their job plus creating a false impression to your supporters that you know better and that those qualified to do the job are not up to it and are taking wrong decisions is an insult to our very system of law and order.
Have you not noticed that the nonsense and chaff has stopped since these actions were started? Even the likes of Arthur Kennedy (who continues to betray his gross ignorance of the law) have fallen silent and Otchere-Darko has chosen to focus on other topics. Awuku has gone silent, and Stephen Atubiga, but for his stupid statement yesterday, is also learning from his mistakes.
It would be interesting to read what people will write after the verdict. I hope to write a number of full articles on some topics.

As a student in the early 1980s, I remember Sir John or whatever he calls himself. He used to mock at students from northern Ghana in the University of Ghana, Legon during the presidency of Dr. Hilla Liman by shouting at the top of his voice: 'Atampugre, 80 more years for the north to catch the south...' Atampugre was the first NUGS coordinating secretary and from Bolga. He only stopped this nonsense when he was confronted at Legon Hall Annex and reminded of the fact that his grand parent were from the North. What should one expect from this man, who by incident is the SG of the main opposition party in Ghana.

You Northerners are funny, you are making noises all over the place but promoting war through variuos means. It is true that you do not bring much unto the table in the form of natural resources but think you should live like the southerners who produce most of the resources. The typical northern country is poor(MALI, Burkina, Niger etc). We have a Northern leader and it is accepted by all. Do not rub it in because any division of the country will be to your disadvantage!! yes you have a higher propensity for war and destruction but at the end common sense will prevail. One thing i have grown to see in this country is that most Northerners seem to see themselves as Northerners first before being Ghanaian, though i dont see much of that else where. We simply have to be careful including the judges as any semblance of biase is seen by the majority who will not complain publicly to be further bullied but will resgister it permanently in their memory for pay back time which will always come as no condition is permanent!!!

In the civilized world you cannot make such comments about even ordinary people let alone a judge presiding a case you brought to them.
The best these people can do for him is to wait and when he is jailed they can ask the Judges to share his jail term with him.

I don't think you really live in the US. Do the Americans attack judges by insulting them personally? Sir John went over board and thought he was law to himself and his party. This is a man who has children who regard him, perhaps, as their role model. I wonder how he is training his children.

Is it because he is so special? I just want to see how Sir John will prove to his critics who doubt his law credentials. He should appear in the open court and explain himself.

He created the current tension in the country by declaring the results in favour of Nana Akufo Addicted sorry, Addo against the electoral rules; and he called the President thief, insulted and criminalised a fine Ghanaian Patriot, Dr. Afari Gyan. When his own party,s Communications Director , Nana Akomea tried to reason with him, he threatened to teach him a lesson. He thought he was above the law and therefore can get away with it. Because he was allowed to go scot free he was not able to learn. Now let,s give this silly man the chance whether he will be able to wrestle with the “Whale“ at the Supreme Court. Thank you.

Hello Mr. & Mrs. Ghana,
A villager, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie hails from WONOO, in the Ashanti Region. He is a lawyer by training but speaks English with difficulty. His comprehension of matters of national interest is LIMITED! However, he speaks fluent Asante Twi and puns on Asante words to suit himself. As well, he puns on Asante proverbs to cheer up crowds.
Undoutedly, he was raised in a village chief's palace before he went to high school.
However, by the virtue of his legal training, HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER! By INTENTIONALLY running down and obliterating JUSTICE ATUGUBA, a member of the Supreme Court and probably the MOST SENIOR MEMBER of the august house, Afriyie has CROSSED THE FINAL TOUCH LINE. No mercy should be shown to him. HE MUST BE INCARCERATED FOR AT LEAST 2 MONTHS to serve as a deterent.
I'll advise Nana Ato Dadzie to stay away from Kwadwo Owusu Afriye's NONSENSE.
LONG LIVE AFRICA! GOD BLESS GHANA!! FORWARD EVER!!!

If this man is set free as a so called learned man, I will never ever have faith in the Justice system in Ghana.
He knew exactly what he was doing thinking his position in the NPP make him bulletproof in front of the law. Besides, he is very arrogant and disrespectful to his own bosses in the justice system. This is not ignorance but an exhibition of folly in the middle of the ocean. He deserves to drown deep. I wish him to go down and learn a lesson.
I will plead with the SC Judges to give him the maximum or at least near maximum for contempt. This will surely make a big difference in Ghana's dirty politics, democracy and boost the morale of the justice system.
It is time people get to know the difference between freedom of speech, contempt of court and defamation/assassination of character.

How can you say he was remorseful when he did not even come out to apologize for his disrespect ...

What sort of STUPID pleading is this for a recalcitrant war-monger??
All these hypocrites are false politicians. They are not for the people.
The Court must forget about all these issues and move on with the case. Our minds were free after ken and Atubiga were both jailed. Please Mr.Atuguba lets move on ok.
ATUBIGA apologised and yet he was sentenced to three days imprisonment.What is good for the goose is equally good for the gander.
MMugu, you are right !What, they say he is having sleepless night ?He should not worry !There will be more time for him to sleep ,both in the day and in the night.Nsawam prisons is waiting for him.
THE COURT MUST NOT CREATE THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE ARE TWO CLASSES OF JUSTICE FOR THE PRIVILEGED AND THE NON-PRIVILEGED. HOWEVER WE SHOULD ALL WAIT TO HEAR THE ALLEGATION(S) IN COURT AND HEAR THE DEFENCE OF OWUSU AFRIYIE.
one should learn to be carefull when on that one sided and partisan oman fm
if he has the mouth to voice out shit then he should be ready to go to jail for his stupid behaviour, I don't understand why the NPP leaders keep supporting such things from their members well a news for the NPP u are losing ...

A fly that refused to seek advice end up in grave with corpse.
jail the fucker arse
TSATSU PLEADED MORE 4 ATUBIGA BUT IT DID NOT WORK, LET HIM CARRY HIS OWN CROSS. IF YOU KNOW HOW TO POUND YOU EITHER POUND IN THE MORTAR OR ON YOUR LAPS
Atuguba I'm really surprised you have this serious case infront of you and still have time for ppl who are exercising their freedom of speech rights. Ghana does not belong to you.
The SC demands respect from everyone. You commit a crime you do the time in jail, period. Long live Ghana.
I don't think you really live in the US. Do the Americans attack judges by insulting them personally? Sir John went over board and thought he was law to himself and his party. This is a man who has children who regard him, ...

I can tell you that, in the US ANYTHING GOES!!! AT ANY TIME...stop bringing the US into this!!!
I the US general secretaries of political parties heap personal insults on supreme court judges. If anything goes in the US Snowdon would not be seeking asylum in Russia.
My brother. Atuguba is not the court, which is made up of both NDC and NPP sympathizers. He is only the spokesperson for the court. He does not take unilateral decisions. He only presents and carries out actions on the cou ...

That idiot should be jailed,why was he attacking the judge personally
Neither does Ghana belongs to you Yusif idiot
President of the world his exe atuguba under no condition you can challenge him
How does Lawyer Ackumey know that Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie has been sleepless nights? Do the 2 (Ackumey and Owusu Afriyie)lawyers share the same bed? This is serious papa
stop the pretence and remember that what is good for the goose will equally be good for the gunder!!!
Repentant indeed! Sir John is unrepentant, don't be deceived. Is he not the same person (who was in court when Justice Atubuga hinted of his invitation)who told the whole world that the Justices might be joking because he is ...

Well said, thank you.
Though Sir John is not above the law,any decission on him will have impact of the Judgement.The prudent way of dealing with him is to let cancell the invitation afterall the case is closed.
sir john must be dealt with.
Sir John must be punished, for him to shutdown his bulky mouth. After all some had already suffered the consequences of their unguided comments concerning the election petition. Sir John is not different from those who had al ...

Yes, about time some of these chatterboxes were made to put their monies where their basket mouths are. I say send him away and lock him up.

Honutacan never compare with Wonoo. And did you hear Asiedu Nketia ENGLISH at the Court
give this idiot a life imprisonment sentence or ban him from holding any political office.
As a lawyer, he ought to know better. Let him go and answer his reckless remarks and insults of the courts.
why is this guy so ugly?!
Chris, this guy has been chilling out in the USA and making a lot of political appearances/statements.
THE PLAN IS TO JAIL HIM AND RELEASE HIM JUST BEFORE NPP VICTORY WILL ANNOUNCE JUST FOR THE SC TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE NOT BIASED.
Having been feeding on animal shit all his life, the time is nigh for this knuclehead of a general secretary to unpack his shit now, which for my money must be pink in colour.
Sir John must face the music
It is people like this fool whose words, actions and stance incur the the hatred of non-Akans for the NPP. Nail him to teach him a little sense. I will be disappointed with those who plead for him in court come 14th August. H ...

Chris Akumey should be deemed to be condoning and equally liable for contempt.
SIR JOHN IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW AND BE JAILED NOT LESS THAN FIVE YEARS.
the buffoon is still spewing venom.
when did he repent
he came into hidden in united states and some fools were following him. he thought there is going to be war in ghana as he predicted so he was taking refuge. fool
The timing of the summons by Justice Atugba is curious. Why did he wait for such a long time until the case is almost over? I bet you Justice Atugba has an agenda!
Sir John is not above the law. Politicians are the causes of numerous social unrest in the world.He should be dealt with accordingly.He has been misbehaving for too long a time. He speaks as if Ghana is his property.
I DOUBT IF U ARE NDC. AMETSIBOME AND AHORFEVI. EBLUAWO BE KKWWWAAASSIIIAAAA
STUPID GHANAIANS THINK FERRDOM OF SPEECH MEANS FREEDOM TO TALK RUBBISH, INSULT AND SLANDER.

Sir John has applied for asylum in US - GNNA.
It is one thing genuinely repenting. It is another thing pretending because of the consequences of your stupidity. In which category does this war monger belong?
WHAAAAAT? NOBODY SHOULD PLEAD FOR THIS IDIOT HE SHOULD BE SENT TO JAIL.HE IS NOT BETTER THAN KEN KURANCHIE AND STEPHEN ATUBIGA, IF YOU LEFT THIS GUY OFF THE HOOK, THE NEXT DAY HE WILL GO TO OMAN FM TO BRAGED THAT NOBODY CAN T ...

It is realy unthinkable for some one to described Justice Atuguba who is presiding judge of the panel "as a hypocrite, a voodoo deity and a joker" I wish he is made to experience the wrought of the Voodoo deity
SIR JOHN HAS TO GO AND TEST THE JAIL
GHANAIANS NEED TO BE DISCIPLINED.

l thought this matter is dead.That tells me the case is almost done.Sir John will be spending one month in jail whiles Nanas case is thrown out of court.what a pity?
the npp's are full of babylon styles. they think ghana is for only them. they will always go to jail... junkers and weed smokers.
its about time we allow the law to work in Ghana. Whether he has repented or not the court would have to act according to the law and give him the necessary charge, fine or conviction that he deserves.
If this man is set free as a so called learned man, I will never ever have faith in the Justice system in Ghana.
He knew exactly what he was doing thinking his position in the NPP make him bulletproof in front of the law. ...

We need better Ghana.

They impune the respect and integrity of the Supreme Court and later claim mercy from the SC....Please judges, cite this guy with contempt and jail him for a month. That will teach him and other copy-cats a lesson.
Stupid fool man u will go to jail
He like talking without controlling the mouth. Why is he not talking these days in the media
No one is above the law, invite mahama too,coz his comments aren't more contemptours than the others.
Oh no! let the guy catch it. he who wants to grow a long tooth needs a lip to cover it.
