    Who is the loser and who benefits if NHIS names are deleted and those affected asked to re-register? Are the people who register with NHIS cards NDCi, NPP, CPP, PNC...? We don't know. So why is NDC and the EC against? Weird?

  • Calculus 7 years ago

    Because it was lawful as at the time those cards were used and the law doesn't take retrospective . In any case, what happens to many people who used the NHIA CARDS prior to the 2008 elections and subsequently used the voter ...

    The SC decision to order the EC to submit the names of those registered with NHIS cards is worrying if it is an attempt to disenfranchise them. In Ghana we don't any any credible database for the purpose of identification and ...

    The Supreme Court should not poke its nose into the affairs if the Electoral Commission on behalf of any party. The EC is an independent body charged with responsibility of organising election and seeing to it that the electo ...

    Vigour, do you believe in the supremacy of the 1992 constitution? If yes,then there is no need for you to worry.

    Well spoken.
    The Supreme Court is working for the NPP.
    We all heard Kennedy agyepong insulting the EC referring to the Chief Justice bad comment.
    We are waiting for the 30th June.

  • Kwobia (Toronto) 7 years ago

    This kind of analysis is not what the NPP wants to hear.Members of the opposition have already made up their minds to find any means possible to make it hell for the governing party.Thus the SC needs to move cautiously as it ...

    The SC is beating a civil war drum . They are steping their bounds and doing everything possible to entrech their choice in Ghana as president. Have they thought of those who registered with a driving licence? Whose int ...

    Any judgement without evidence is bogus.The SC should not allow Abu Ramadan to take Ghana for ride because he could not provide any evidence in court that some foreigners have registered and voted with NHIS Cards in the 2012 ...

    The SC IN ITS INTIMIDATING IDEAS IN FAVOR OF NDC AND RULED FOR THEM IN THE ELECTION PETITION, ISN'T IT?

  • KOFI BUSANGA 7 years ago

    The writer's position is nothing strange to me. It again goes to show the hypocrisy of Ghanaians. But did the same SC controversially interferred in the results of the last election? Twea!

  • Kojo Krachie 7 years ago

    The SC is supposed to be an august body responsible for interpreting the law should the need arise.They are there to review decisions of lower courts and not to be involved in every street fight brought before it.Moreover,the ...

    How many people will remember that they had registered with NHIS cards and take advantage to re-register when the EC. 'reopens the registration process for them?

    Can you also write about the Afare Gyan lying to SC about the people registed in abroad?Did he also presented any document in court? Give us a break.

  • ChrisC 7 years ago

    Funny write up, what makes you think the court does not have the authority? The fact that NDC won elections does not mean there are no laws in Gjana, ofui.
