Author:-Hon. Martin A.B.K. Amidu.

...The Government exercised the latter option when we disagreed over the judgment debt and other Gargantuan crimes. The Government, and my colleague Ministers at the time know that there was no provision for dismissal under my contract of employment as a Minister or that of any Minster.

I reserve the right as a citizen of Ghana to protect and defend my honour and integrity should this civilized challenge for the truth be ignored.

This is not the price I should be made to pay by the Government of Ghana for defending the Constitution of Ghana in the Waterville and Isofoton unconstitutional payments declared by the Supreme Court.

I have some feelings that the nine Justices are afraid of the NPP rowdysm if things don't go their way so let's see if they will rise over that fear so that fair verdict will be delivered.

Upon all the montains of evidence there was nowhere Nana Addo votes was stolen for Mahama.There was nothing to show how Mahama and NDC involved in any irregularity.Nobody has come forward to proved that he was allowed to vote twice or without verification so pink sheets are not enough to substantiate the claims.Thank you.

I HAVE NO DOUBT NANA ADDO WILL EMERGE AS THE VICTORIOUS ON THE 29TH AUGUST, AND THAT IS ONLY IF THE THIN-GOD AMONG THE 9-MEMBER JURY, ATUGUBA ALLOWS JUSTICE TO PREVAIL. IF PREZ MAHAMA AND EMINENT CHIEFS COULD INSTRUCT THE PRESIDING OFFICERS TO ALLOW VOTERS TO VOTE WITHOUT VERIFICATION, THEN WHAT EVIDENCE DOES ATUGUBA NEEDS AGAIN TO ANNUL THOSE VOTES WITHOUT VERIFICATION? MAHAMA'S LAWYER HAS WON THE CASE FOR NANA ADDO.

The problem here is that,we will be back to square one with Alan. Why?
Right now, the Akim boys ,girls and the mafias are very vicious and will undermine Alan and anybody from Kuffour's quarters.

Anybody from the Ashanti Region would be doomed.Isaac Osei would be good but will not work. Bawumia would be an ideal candidate but the Kuffour's (Ashanti Region) will not agree and vote for him as a flagbearer, trust me.We need to find a neutral person of non Kuffour and non Akufo Addo.
The only person left right now is dr. Frimpong-Boateng.He is a western Regioner. The Ashantis and the Akims would vote for him and maybe Bawumia as a vice or as vice versa.
"pick somebody neutral".Anybody from Kuffour will not work.
The road is ended for Akufo Addo.

Atugba should never have been on this court as his nephew is the Executive Secretary to the President and is still in contact with him during these proceedings.He cannot convince me or anyone that they do not discuss the case when they meet over toseafe and pito. Is there anybody in Ghana who does not know who Atugba will cast his vote for? So stop this charade of being an enforcer of the law as you violated your judicial oath of ethics when you refused to get off a case in which your nephew had a substantial interest. You are a disgrace to the judicial profession.

Your understanding of the clauses as stated in regards to the just-ended election petition is completely oblique to the facts on the ground. With the overwhelming evidence presented to the Supreme Court by the petitioners, it's hard for the Noble Justices to turn a blind eye and make any weird judgement. No, the Supreme Court won't falter; they that! The Supreme Court has vowed to make Ghanaians proud!
