Undeniably, Adams has penned down a very good article, basically to stress that the principle of separation of powers should be adhered to and respected.
Easier said than done in practice as compared to theory. And I am playing the devil's advocate, it doesn't mean I support Atuguba. What does the judiciary do if you find another branch of government encroaching on your powers, as politicians often do? Do you exert your powers or go to town to express your disapproval? It can be argued that Atuguba saw Sir John and others assaulting and undermining the judiciary's powers hence the shrill yelling and cracking of the whip in his court. What I don't agree with him is he being the prosecutor, judge and executor in his own case. Should have kicked the can to the Attorney General's department to give the contemnors a fair trial.

Adams, don't just write for writing sake. Atuguba did not say he or judges or the judiciary will go out there and bring politicians into the court and deal with them.
What can be deduced from his words is that, when politicians overstep their boundaries and temper with the courts, the judiciary would put them in their place.
All this power separation blablabla is over the top in your article. If you restrict communication to literal meaning of words, then you would be misunderstanding people especially when dealing with a learned language.
Do you by chance for-see, Atuguba ordering the police to go arrest some politicians, or asking the politicians to come to courts when they have not been charged by any prosecuting body? Perhaps, you are suggesting Atuguba as a judge with many years of experience do less of the law than you and I. I wonder how many would believe that. Would Atubuga over-ride due process? Where does Atububa gets his power from? Very interesting but I think appalling questions.

The police is to maintain law and order, but the police service is an arm of the executive (government where the politicians are). So, if the politicians are wronging the state, but do not instruct the police to act, can they (the police) intervene? Is this writer telling me that politicians in this country are not irresponsible? Also, is Adams suggesting that because I am not a police, I cannot arrest a thief? Simply remember that law is paperwork and shall remain so with its interpretation being very subjective.

A good analysis by John but because he misses the right context he fails to realise that the statement by the respected judge is far from being an error! The Judiciary is an independent arm of government, with the executive and the parliament as its two other independent partners. They must complement each other in the good governance of Ghana without compromising the principle of independence of each organ. When the integrity of the judiciary comes under undue and reckless attacks with impunity, and the executive or parliament are impotent to act because of polititricks, the judiciary enjoys the independence of action to protect itself and by so doing the the good governance of the state. The judge did not in anyway suggest that they were taking over the duties of security agencies, nor did their actions or statements imply it!Sanity of governance by the state was enhanced by their statements and judgement. Its symbolic nature alone has positive resonance beyond Ghana's borders for all to learn from!!!

John, you got it all wrong about how the principle of separation of powers works in practice. If you read the Pol. Science, then you didn't grasp it before your graduation. I nearly stopped reading your piece but I struggled to read it to the end.
Now, the day the President says this of the judiciary, all Ghanaians should clap for joy cos that day will mark the beginning of the fight against corruption in Ghana!
“Judges and magistrates have disabled the courts because of the bribes that they take and it is up to the executive to clamp down on judicial corruption. If I don't, I will be letting the state downâ€.
As a matter of fact, it is the responsibility of the President, as the highest servant of the State, to clamp down on judicial corruption and wrong doings. The President is above the Chief Justice and all else and it is his duty to maintain not only law and order in the country, defend the country against external aggression, etc. but also propose laws as bills and other proposals for devt to be put before the legislature for approval and then he sets about implementing that those laws are followed and the proposals implemented for devt. of all kinds. The Judiciary is there to assist the President to do his duties and if it is found out that some judges are failing to do that cos of corruption and taking of bribes, which btw, are against the law, the President must clamp down on those judges involved! Yes, the President must maintain the laws against corruption, whether those involved are civil servants, Police men and women, customs officials or judges! To claim that there is a separation of powers that put judges about that ambit of presidential control is simply a misunderstanding of a white man's principle, more associated with the American system than the British, or the hybrid we have in Ghana.
Coming to Atuguba, what he said is PERFECTLY within his purview as a judge. Judges indeed also help to implement and maintain the laws of a country by judging whether the laws have been followed or breached, and where breached, apply the stipulated sanctions against the accused law breakers. That the judges have the power to even call people to come and answer to them on charges of contempt of court without the Executive first accusing, arresting and putting those people before the courts exemplifies this law maintenance function of the judiciary. Besides that, anyone who reads Political Science would have been aware of K.C. Wheare's classic "Constitutions", in which he spelt out how judges even make laws [presumably a legislative role], change laws and even the Constitution through judicial interpretations over time. Acordingly, this your strait-jacket interpretation of the principle of powers, which doesn't even operate any longer the way it was advocated in the US is uninformed and simply an exercise in futility.

Atubuga should remember that he cannot prosecute and be a judge in his own case; he should not play "god" because of powers given him. His maiden statement and demeaner when the case began showed he had preconceived mind about the the idea of NPP going to court to seek "JUSTICE". Thank God Almighty for the live telecast of the case for the whole world to make independent as well as collective judgement/opinion. No intimidation can negate the facts/evidence/truth so presented before The Judges. With eagle's eye we wait for August 29, 2013. WILL TRUTH TRIUMPH OVER EVIL? Will the judgement be based on the facts and not personal interest or party affiliation? Ghana is in darkness right now and in the hands of the Supreme Court judges are the lights that can shine to lead the country out of the darkness. Are they going to live up to expectation and place their individual lights on a pedestal to SHINE FOR ALL, or will just secuumb to pressure and "bribery" and hid their lights under the table in like manner they will receive a bribe?
May The Almighty God grant the judges wisdom and instill in them courage to resist ALL temptations to enable them deliever a fair judgement based on facts and the law. At the END of it all, The ALMIGHTY GOD will be The Final Judge of our deeds: whether GOOD or BAD. ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY.

My comment comes on the ff statements said to have been made by Atuguba and I quote;- ''Politicians have diabled law enforcement agencies because of the power they have arrogated to themselves and it is up to the judiciary to clamp down on political bigotry. If we don't, we will be letting the state down.'' I want to know from the writer where his problem lies with Atuguba's above statement?
Let me help you with the education you need on the fact that Atuguba and the judges can clamp down on the politicians' political ''village mentality'' that they have stupidly introduced into our political system of hiding behind the power to do many wrong things which will eventually let the nation down into the pit.
The Atuguba and the judges have constitutional right to help steer the nation rightly. Are you not seeing it now, considering the stupid things that this so called sir john and others have been championing, and how they were brought to orderliness by the law enforcers- the Atuguba power and the judges. Could we continue to be weak so that these village politicians with degrees will lead our nation down? Of course NO.
The major area where you seem to have confused your mind is; first, your smart,intentional failure and refusal to accept the bad behavior of Kwadwo Afriyie and others of a party that you love that, they took Ghana for ride and therefore political bigotry was a normal thing for them.
Can political bigotry be accepted and allowed to flourish here, a rational person may wonder if Ghana could survive in that. The Atuguba power and the judges are ready constitutionally to handle any evil political bigotry.
The constitution you are refering to never support any bigotry, either politically, tribally etc and therefore for that reason alone the JUDICIARY- Judges will ever clamp down on the stupid and village oriented politicians who want to lead the nation down the pit. Again you see that the judges' power is what is handling the petitioners' case.
Finally I believe with your clear conscions and positive mind towards the judges, you will never have to be disturbed by Atuguba's comment against the political bigotry in our nation.
If we really want to have good political environment and the needed development then we all have to cheerish and welcome such a wonderful, bold, lawful, fearless comments, ready to clamp down on those political bigots, whom I describe as village mentalties, who only want to see theirs go on well while others get destroyed. This mentality is not accepted here in Ghana. God has mercy on us!!!!!!!!!

Reading newspapers and listening to radio commentries by Judges just to issue warrant of arrest is never head off in the history of democracy. Contempt of Court is acting contrary to an order of Court, an order which is clearly defined and written, which is unabigious. An order that "a red line has been drawn and whosoever crosses the line will be charged for contempt" is ambigious and unconstitutional and should not be entertained.

How do politicians fight back? one thing you don't realize is that Ghana's parliament is a toothless, I say that because they do not draw up their own laws but debate and pass laws based on the Executive dictates. If politicians/parliament pass a law doesn't mean it is legal, the courts can strike laws down as unconstitutional so by and large the high courts reign supreme in Ghana. Your point about Jsc. Atugugba statement i will say you are partially correct but entirely wrong,I say that because just like Tsatsu Tsikata's address where he stated part of a case to make his point but the Judges rightly pointed out to him that the next sentence on the cited case was contrary to what he was trying to get across, you should therefore interpret Atuguba's statement in its entirety. Yes he has the power of the State to clamp down on politicians through contempt or Politicians scandalizing the courts, what i understood from the statement you quoted is how ineffective politicians have made the security agencies but they are not fighting back and unlike the security agencies the court will fight back and clamp down on them hard if they dare scandalize them. It is perfectly within the constitution to try them for contempt on their own accord.

If the writer is observing matters in the country, he will notice that Atuguba made his statement in a particular circumstances - that is in reprimanding politicians for comments they made on matters that were before the courts.
When Ken Agyepong made his vile and ethnocentric statement, the courts did not go after him. It was the police. You will agree with me that the lack of due process in the country, indiscipline every where and irresponsible statements can all be attributed to the politicians.
They interfere with law enforcement,interpretation of the law, they see themselves above the law and every issue and matter in the country is seen through the prism of politics. They defend criminals and make their cases look political.
These are people who are suppose to know better. Shame on them.

I believe the govt needs to strengthen our educational system, because many of us are lacking knowledge of many simple constitutional issues.Some constitutional issues need be taught in our secondary school, including but not limited to our voting system.We should be taught how to work with the police in many civil issues.Ghanaians need to be drum to not conpromise bribery and corruption. This in particular illness must be taught even in the primary schools that it shall be engraved on our children's brains that they may grow with it.Let's start from somewhere that we can identify some matter so that some"Atuguba's"will not run the show single-handedly.

Good piece because I see in Atuguba that his emotions show up too much when he gets people before him whom he claims they are in contempt. No wonder Mr Ayikoi Ottoo diplomatically asked him to calm down lest he suffers from high blood pressure. He feels that whilst on the bench he is untouchable. He should note that he is man put there by men so he should take his time. After all, JESUS himself was insulted and what did he do? He was slapped, but what did he say back? Mr Atuguba, TAKE YOUR TIME and recognise your humanity.

He who does not know and does not know that he does not know is a damn fool. I hope there is something in this writing that will attract the attention of the Justices to summon this tofloko to appear before them.
Yes, the justices of the Supreme Court and the other judges of the lower court can and should cut the politicians down to their sizes. But our Courts can only do this if they are clean themselves.
The justices need better training on constitutionalism
