AUTHOR: TULA----- NDC MAFIA AT NSAWAM Massa to visit the criminals; ------Ghanaians were told that the NDC led by Asiedu Nketia and Koku Anyidoho instigated these boys to threaten the judges but they denied it ; you see how they are falling over themselves to visit the 3 criminals ; the NDC is a violent party founded by JJ Rawlings ; the judges should therefore be careful about these boys because they are just dangerous ; Do not be not be surprised if Jon Mahama visits them at night ; as I am concerned all the NDC propaganda machine can go and see them in prison .

To me, whoever sees nothing wrong with the sentencing of the montie 3 is an NDC bigot who is inclined to the well-being of NDC against the peace of Ghana. Such people are ready to use any means to make NDC retain power, even if it will cost the peace of Ghana.

HOW CAN MAHAMA REFUSE TO PARDON THE NDC MONTIE TRIO AND DRAW NDC VOTERS. NOBODY IN NDC PREFER A PERCIEVED WEAK OR COWARD LEADER. IT IS JJ RAWLINGS PARTY. JJ RAWLINGS DAMNED THE CONSTITUTION AND SACKED VICE PRESIDENT ACKAH AND YET STILL WON THE ELECTIONS MASSIVELY. FLOATING VOTERS ALSO DONT CARE ABOUT THE MONTIE TRIO BECAUSE MAHAMA AND NDC RECRUITED THEM FOR THAT HATCHET JOB

I am now in bed with Muntie fm station. God in his wisdom has a way of saving souls to himself. Since the three buffoons were sent to prison, good gospel tunes have been playing to my likeness. Getting closer to God is better than using airwaves to preach hate and destroy political opponents.

Dr. I respect your piece of advice to the president but fact is fact whether the president would use it for his political gain or advantage the truth of the matter here is the rule of law must be respected and no man not even the president being it any person can threaten the lives of poeple and get away with it because no one is above the law.

Was kuffour not respecting rule of law when he pardoned a cold blooded murderer like German? Or when Mahama pardoned adamu sakande ?

No matter what the NPP says, the president SHOULD pardon the Montie 3 after one month or two months in jail.

Any decision he makes on this case will not make any NPP change their mind and they will never vote for him anyways, so why not grant them clemency after a month or two.

For the NDC members, if he does not pardon the Montie 3, then it means he is going against those NDC members who have signed the petition for pardon. I don't think the president will like to lose some of his NDC members by simply not granting the pardon. They will see him as weak for not exercising his powers to free the Montie 3 after lending him (the president) their support by signing under the petition.

So, Mr. president, grant the pardon after a month or two and save your core NDC members. Forget the NPP. No matter what you do, they will not defect to vote in your favour.

Stick with your core NDC members in this case and you will not go wrong.

Unless the lecturer thinks the electorate has extreme short term memories he needs to go back and rethink his logic. The issue for most at the election is having a stable economy with reduced corruption and infrastructure that works (no dumsor dumsor).

The lecturer's logic is like saying somebody who has wronged you for years (time and time again) will be forgiven because on one occassion out of countless he chose to do what is the EXPECTED thing. Unless Lecturer is telling us that following the rule of law is somehow seen as commendable rather than normal (as in most democratic countries).

I don't think Ghanaians (I hope) are that simple minded.

This is irrelevant. As a president, he is obliged to respect the rule of law. He has no option. No floating voter will vote for this thief anyway.

The President can never be misled by these aza people who would in no time turn around and tell NDC supporters how uncaring the president is to their imprisoned members. We can see through their tricks. Why did Kuffour release jailed taxi drivers in 2008 in the middle of elections? What one president can do, another is also entitled to. President Mahama can take advantage of the situation by keeping his intended secret, prolong the guessing game, and keep NPP and all these surrogates guessing for long. Since the NPP is making this issue a central part of their manifesto, the President must prolong their anxiety by refusing to talk while discretely maintain touch with the Montie 3. That is the superior strategy. Keep your opponent in a guessing mode.

I disagree with your analysis. Listen, Mahama rules Ghana with his Ministers and appointees, and not only by himself. If most of his ministers, appointees and members of his party are demonstrating against the Supreme Courts judgement on the Montie 3 and he Mahama (the President) has said nothing against the demonstration so far how can he turn around to use the Montie 3's plight to his political advantage. Ghanaians are not fools.

WOW..Hipocrisy at its pick!NDC Shine ur eyes ooo. NPP guys are smart, they want to discourage ur effort to get the guys out cos the program Pampaso itself is a threat to NPP in the 2016 election. This is the same way they spoke vehemently on radio,TV and other media that the montie 3 should never be forgiven but rather thrown to jail. They championed this call until indeed they were jailed.They deserve pardon but others should rot in jail. Hmm NDC go ahead with ur petition, press hard until ur voices are heard. What is good for the goose is good for the gander!
