Npp will soon die and a new party formed in its place. What npp are looking for is to come to power to loot the nation's resources. Npp thinks Ghanaians have soon forgotten when they were stealing gold, money, land and other state properties. Ministers saving government loans in their individual foreign accounts and keeping the interest accrued before releasing the capital to nation's coffers. In fact, the SC is really wasting time that is why these crooks think they still stand a chance. Where on earth have you seen SC removing democratically elected president and putting in a 70 years old drug baron, greedy and arrogant man as president? You have been found out and God will punish you for wasting Ghanaian tax-payers money.

Dan, thank you for raising this matter. I do remember that letter but from what I heard and understood, that letter was not doctored as well as not withdrawn by Tsikata.
Bawumia confirmed that the letter was from Nana Akufo-Addo and the contents were accurate. However, he pointed out that the EC stamp indicating the date when it was received by the EC was earlier than the date the letter was written. That was what made him question the authenticity of the letter. That mistake was by EC or whoever stamped the letter on it arrival at the EC. That was not Tsikata attempting to present a forged letter.
Again, the Chairman of the EC, Dr Afari-Gyan confirmed the existence of the letter when he gave evidence-in-chief and under cross examination by both Tony Lithur and Tsikata.
For your information, that letter was about the allegation by the Petitioners that the EC created some polling stations that were unknown to NPP. However, the letter from Nana Akufo-Addo to EC was to inform EC of NPP's party agents for those same polling stations that the Petitioners claimed they were unaware of their existence. The letter was to discredit that claim.
Since I am bias and my articles are unfair and unbalance, why did you not write one on that, if you were convinced that Tsikata attempted to pervert the course of justice? For your information, that matter did not require any critical analysis because it was not in doubt and I did not find it necessary to write anything about something that was not in doubt. Did you hear any of the Justices raise doubt about that letter?

You have just engaged in a convoluted argument based on emotions and not facts. What Addison tried to do in court was attempt to tender documents which were patently 'DOCTORED' as an extract of a register. If his document were an extract as he purported it to be, he would not have withdrawn it. No matter how tenable one's arguments are you cannot support them with doctored documentation. Misleading the court through misrepresentation is a criminal offence.
Atuguba has really done the NPP a big favour for which they ought to be grateful. The case would have stopped at this juncture had the Judges been minded to give a decision on the respondents request for a ruling on the doctored documents. My guess is they have heard enough to adjudicate on this petition as unfounded and did not want to pile further disgrace on the petitioners and counsel.

MASSA KOFI, this is a well written and reasonable piece. We need to remind ourselves that NPP is in court challenging EC's declaration of NDC's John Mahama as President, on the basis of allegation of fraud. Hence, NPP's must present compelling evidence to the Supreme Court for a realistic prospect of overturning John Mahama's victory. Ironically, Addison was perpetrating fraud upon the Supreme Court, albeit making a dramatic U-turn when he realised he was going down a slippery slope with his fictitious documents.
Potentially, Addison could have been charged with either crime of forgery, perjury or fined for professional misconduct by seeking to tender in evidence, fictitious extracts inconsistent with EC's National Register. However, for a successful charge of Addison of any criminal offense/professional misconduct, the Supreme Court has to prove those extracts were fraudulent and that he[Addison]knowingly, deliberately and intentionally produced those documents to make them admissible in a law court.
It raises a question. Why didn't the Supreme Court judges examine/verify the authenticity of the documents? And if the Supreme Court judges were bold to follow legal principles, why didn't they put Addison in the dock for tendering fabricated evidence? Or in possession of falsified documents in a court of law? Although, Addison dramatically withdrew his submission, I think both the EC and NDC lawyers missed a great opportunity to sway the SC judges on the personal integrity of Addison and credibility and veracity of NPP's evidence as a whole. Both the EC and NDC lawyers should have argued on the line that: If you fabricate evidence once, what shows that you wouldn't fabricate evidence again. Addison was simply left of the hook.

You have the right to comment on legal issues whether you read law or not or even if you've not been trained as a UK case worker - senior or junior. Whatever the case, your arguments here will be judged solely on their merits, not on the legal qualifications you bring to them.
Then this thing about your not watching the proceedings for two weeks is also unnecessary. Now you are telling us you watched just a few minutes and those were enough to make you fire off an article. How many articles would you have written if you had watched all the two weeks? Five? Ten? One for every few minutes?
Just tell us what your argument is and stop all these extra- exo-skeletal information. They add nothing to the logic of the argument!

I personally thought the justices had been extremely lenient with counsel Addison by not pursuing the matter further. Equally the counsels for respondents were rather magnanimous in not pursuing the matter as one of ETHICS.
I commented at the time of that happening and questioned who was misleading the court - Addison of Afari Gyan since Addison had in his cross-examination of the witness accused him of trying to "mislead the court" with "multiple pink sheets" printed for the elections.
It is also interesting that the NPP media never picked on this matter and never pointed out how lucky their party and the petitioners were that the court did not make this an issue of 'perjury'.
Any how Kofi, I personally doubt that we have heard the last of this very matter as I strongly suspect that IF the justices have not themselves picked it up, I will be most surprised if in their summing up the counsels for respondents do not make this one of their key points to support their argument that the petition has been brought in "bad faith".
Honestly, I feel really sad that Ghana should be going through this, and rather worry why and how people will 'stoop so low' and / or go to such lengths to 'manufacture evidence' just to win a case!!! I also find it hard that people with a winning mentality can be 'blinded' to such an extent. A real shame for our democracy and the practice of law.

Paul, you sounded as if the lawyers and the Justices let Addison off because of their fraternity. Did I get you right? Remember both lawyers and Justices belong to the same legal profession.
I agree with you that counsels for the respondents will raise the matter in their final submission. In fact, Tastsu set a trap for both Addison and the Justices but I left this out to shorten the article. When he was asked by one of the female Justices if it would be acceptable to them if the original register was used by Mr Addison, Tsatsu said, they will have no objection to that. This is a trap because Addison strongly objected to the EC tendering the Voters' Register in evidence and the Justices sustained his objection. So how could he turn round to tender the same material evidence that he had objected to earlier?

I very much doubt that "fraternity" could have been a basis for any apparent 'let off'. I see the trap you refer to from Tsatsu. When Addison had a similar opportunity earlier on (when the EC wanted to tender some original biometric and electoral register data), he made a 'calculated error' in my opinion when re fought hard and successfully objected to it. If you recall, I suggested this would come back to harm the petitioners and it has in several ways. I did not pick up "Tsatsu's trap" and thanks for spotting that.
Yes indeed, I rather suspect counsel for respondents will try to capitalise on it as 'yet another example of the error-strewn' petition from those who are accusing others of "gross errors" which affected the results of the polls.
On the part of the justices, if you listen carefully to the comments of the two justices in respect of that 'dodgy' list, they seemed to me not to want to create a fertile ground for another round of 'controversy' in the public with accusations of 'unfairness' from the NPP 'outside court'. Whether in their own summation they will take this particular issue into account, I am not sure. And as you have pointed out in your original article, whether the justices would 'cite' Addison for 'unethical practice' is also up for speculation.
These are just my observations and impressions but as always, and like most others, I could be completely wrong, and stand to be corrected.

BK, I think I alluded to your position in the article. However, if that was the case, then Addison was unaware at the time that the document was not authentic. If this assumption is right, then I would have expected Addison to have made a strong case in defence of the authenticity of the document instead of withdrawing it. That is what I would have done. His action or omission suggested that either he was aware the document was not genuine or he could not trust his subordinates. Whichever it was, the buck stops with him.
Again, from the Daily Graphic reports on the coverage of the hearing that I read, it appears documents have been given to the respondents by the petitioners that the respondents have identified many discrepancies. That should have warned Addison to ensure that his subordinates do their homework well before they provided him with this document/s for court. His failure suggests that either he is unable or unwilling to exercise proper supervisory role over the management and prosecution of the case, or perhaps, he is complicit. What do you think?
I am sorry to appear to be very harsh on Addison but I expect that since the petitioners are accusing the EC of fraud, then the petitioners must be whiter than white.

The fundamental flaw is to have one single legal expert advancing your case in such a landmark case. I would have expected up to three staunch legal specialists on the part of the petitioners to handle different key aspects of proceedings. That would allow Addison time to study and scrutinise or direct his 'clerks' to use a "tooth comb" to make sure that all information presented is checked, double-checked and consistent.
I rather disagree with your impression of him as a good lawyer. He has demonstrated in this case that he is not as good as others have always made him out to be. However 'good' you are, you cannot be 'jack and master' of all things you survey at the same time and Addison in my view has 'overreached' and is not receiving the necessary 'technical' support he needs.
If he is also relying on Dr Bawumiah's 'discredited analysis' then he is making a very big mistake. A very smart lawyer would approach this in a slightly different way. These are just my opinions.

Writing contest with his 'good' friend Kwaku Asare, then I would recommend he makes the time to watch the entire proceedings so he can be in a better position to proffer sound opinions about developments that come up,as this case goes on. Why did he write this piece if he was not seized with all the facts? And I frankly do not see the need to bring Tsikata and Lithur(who was`nt even in court on this particular day) into this discussion about the 'manufacturing' of evidence.
It is as if these other lead Attorneys have engaged in a suimilar conduct; which, as we are all aware, is not the case at all! Philip Addison stated in open court that he is not IT savvy,and therefore relies on people with the expertise in that area. That said, I think his to get the the document tendered into evidence even when some members of the bench had raised serious concerns is what is troubling.
You couldn't have said it better, especially as you stated the reality in your last paragraph!!

Dan, thank you for raising this matter. I do remember that letter but from what I heard and understood, that letter was not doctored as well as not withdrawn by Tsikata.
Bawumia confirmed that the letter was from Nana Akuf ...

Nana Addo, but an incorrect date stamp had been been placed on it whwn it was received at the EC. That clerical mistake in no way detracted from its contents. The date showing when that letter was actually written comfirms th ...

IF THE SC CAN JAIL THOSE WHO MADE FREE COMMENTS ON THE SAID CASE, THE I EXPECT MR ADISON AND HONORABLE BLAWUMIA TO GO TO JAIL FOR ATTEMPTING TO BLACKMAIL AND TO CONVINCE THE COURT OF THE WHOLE NATION.
The extract was from the EC's soft copy of the voters' registrar. The pages 5 and 6 were consistent with the soft copy given to the parties. The problem is that because the EC had dubious motives throughout the election, he w ...

You have just engaged in a convoluted argument based on emotions and not facts. What Addison tried to do in court was attempt to tender documents which were patently 'DOCTORED' as an extract of a register. If his document we ...

you are simply an incorrigible lost soul. Burying your head int he sand when there is such a potentially serious case of fraud which is not good for our justice system is pitiful.
Perhaps this is how lawyers like Addison ...

MASSA KOFI, this is a well written and reasonable piece. We need to remind ourselves that NPP is in court challenging EC's declaration of NDC's John Mahama as President, on the basis of allegation of fraud. Hence, NPP's must ...

My brother, fortunately or unfortunately, Mr Addison cannot be charged for perjury. The only remedy is a sanction by his professional body or the regulatory body. That is, if the Justices were prepared to report his conduct t ...

Contrary to what NPP die-hards like Owusu Afriyie,Kwaku Asare would have you believe,I believe Justice Atubuga sensed the looming danger for Addison and his team and cleverly diffused it by allowing him to withdraw the 'docum ...

I am more interested in Addison's refusal to admit that unsigned pink sheets by Presiding Officers at the polling stations could be signed at the Collation Centres.Dr Afari Gyan admitted that some pink sheets were unsigned bu ...

To wit, if water stays long in a bottle it stinks eventually. This is what is happening to Addison. More and worst blunders are yet to occur to humiliate him if he does not close his case. For now he has nothing new to offer. ...

The respondent lawyers made a gigantic mistake. They should have accepted the documents as evidnece sunmited by the petitoners and then later on exposed it as a lie. This would have been more effective as an exposure of Mr Ad ...

I personally thought the justices had been extremely lenient with counsel Addison by not pursuing the matter further. Equally the counsels for respondents were rather magnanimous in not pursuing the matter as one of ETHICS.

Paul, you sounded as if the lawyers and the Justices let Addison off because of their fraternity. Did I get you right? Remember both lawyers and Justices belong to the same legal profession.
I agree with you that counsels ...

I very much doubt that "fraternity" could have been a basis for any apparent 'let off'. I see the trap you refer to from Tsatsu. When Addison had a similar opportunity earlier on (when the EC wanted to tender some original bi ...

I believe Addison is quite a good lawyer, however the documents are prepared mostly for the lead lawyer, he does not have time himself to check all these documents. You have division of labour in such a complex case. I won't ...

BK, I think I alluded to your position in the article. However, if that was the case, then Addison was unaware at the time that the document was not authentic. If this assumption is right, then I would have expected Addison t ...
