    Atuguba must be sent to the Hague for attempted genocide. This is because if Nana Addo had not diffused tension after the Supreme Court reversed verdict, one could have imagined the chaos that would have engulfed the nation. ...

    The 5 justices who ruled and denied justice have but brought not trust in the judiciary system of Ghana. They are corrupt indeed and have instituted great violent in 2016 election. Why the calls for reforms in the Ec? Which m ...

  • USMAN 10 years ago

    Immediately after the supreme court verdict persons like Tsatsu, Pratt and the Veep were still not feeling comfortable, why? This is because they realised it was a reversed verdict well orchestrated and stage managed by the I ...

    You and Usman, did you read the review! Read again or move away and stop displaying your ignorance.

  • Mohammed Dimbie 10 years ago

    The Supreme Court has put paid to Akufo-Addo's nonsense; and you are here saying what?

    If he is a man with two balls between his short thighs, let him say "fi" and we shall see what will happen to him.

    Is justice only p ...

    Why are you using threats and intimidation? It shows the level of your IQ? Next time argue your case sensibly devoid of the typical buga buga from your ilk.

    This is an in depth analysis of the judgement of the 3 justices of the SC.Certainly I agree that the reasoning mechanism used by the three judges underpinned their thought process and conclusions.Justice Atuguda and Justice A ...

    I am a Ghanaian and a lawyer practising in England. I am not in a position at this present time to put forward a legal response. I hope to do so later. However I cannot see how a court in England, in the face of the evidence ...

    That is not true of England.The inconsistencies alone in the petitioners case and the lack of witnesses to support their pink sheet evidence would have thrown the case out as a non starter.Mislabelled evidence on pint sheet w ...

    I ask you this simple question Carl.How many witnesses did Afari Gyan consulted before declaring the results originated from the face of the pink sheets?

  • SayoO 10 years ago

    You practice law in England, do you? And you are confident to compare the structures in place to conduct elections in England to that in Ghana? You compare the literacy and levels of educational attainment, historical practic ...

    Please stop this. You read the judgements and also some of the reviews in this thread. Note that the dissenting judges also did not give the case to the petition and after all the ultra strict application of the rules of con ...

    To justify the indefensible. Even as laypersons (untrained legal minds),we could easily tell that Bawumiah was an unreliable witness;but this judge,inspite of his "clueless" and woeful performance on the witness stand,heaped ...

  • Chabba 10 years ago

    Ata Kofi you are an ignoramus of LAW so stop poisoning the 'less learned minds' with your invincible ignorance!

  • Jojo Hammond, New Jersey 10 years ago

    Chabba, what do you base your statement on? Kofi wrote a piece, stated his point of view and asked readers to ponder on them, obviously anticipating comments. All you did with your "brilliant mind" was to call him names wit ...

    ALL ALONG, I HAVE BEEN ASKING AND ABLY SUGGESTED BY LAWYER TSIKATA IN HIS SUMISSION TO THE EFFECT THAT IT IS A REVERSED PUNISNMENT TO ANNUL VOTES BECAUSE THE PRESIDING OFFICER REFUSED, FORGOT OR BEEN BOUGHT NOT TO SIGN PINK ...

  • Ashawo Judge 10 years ago

    If AtuguBRIBE was sincere to Ghana he would not have presided over the case. This is because I feel there was a conflict of interest with his nephew or whatever being the executive secretary to Mahama . But because he wanted ...

  • GOD DAMN atuguba!! 10 years ago

    Ayewaa Asanka,

    Will Justices atuguba and Baffoe Bonnie sleep well after passing this self doctored Judgement devoid of law and facts with some inducement from somewhere?

    At a certain point, Baffoe Bonnie ruled to dismiss ...

  • Dr. SAS, Attorney at Law 10 years ago

    Over all a very good analysis of the three opinions; but Kofi should take note of the following:
    1. The constructionist (you write constructivist) approach is the one that depends on the written text alone. The more liberal ...

  • Kofi Ata, Cambridge, UK 10 years ago

    SAS, I have been on the road the whole day. Drove to Liverpool and back and just got home. Thanks for your contribution. I am in my early 50s so Law will be too much for me.

  • Mabia 10 years ago

    Excellent write up. Critical review of literature on construction, shows an increasing disposition to the liberal approach; especially, at the level of constitutional courts. By shying away from a total rejection of the respo ...

    I have always said the Supreme Court will uphold the declaration made by EC boss,Dr Afari Gyan.Npp was just trying to remove Prez Mahama from power by mafia judiciary tactics but did not work.Thank you.
