My question is what if these courts and judges are partisan, lack honesty, integrity, fair play and face fear (threats and intimidation) and enticements via huge sums of money? Judges are not "lord and Master" and the question is raised when there is a BLATANT DUBIOUS VERDICT!

When judges cannot or do not want to deliver fair, honest, transparent and integrity based verdicts, then democracy is in danger. Ghana is the loser.

You remember the 6-3 mistake and the other confusion surrounding the verdict? This is why we need a judicial review to fine tune the whole verdict to avoid future arms cache to protect ballot boxes.

"You remember the 6-3 mistake". MISTAKE - so it is not different from all the countless mistakes the petitioners made in their presentation of "facts".

The decision of the Supreme Court is final and there is absolutely nothing Korang can do to revert the decision....Mahama is legitimately the elected president of Ghana and you and your ilk better get used to that fact.....

Its wasn't the tyranny of the judiciary -its the tyranny of numbers- the 200k or so votes that sealed the fate of Addo.The judges had to go with the will of the people.

For those who think insults and curses can or will solve the problem have misguided ideas about how our system work. Let's remember that these politicians work for us. We pay for the cars, houses and childrens school fees (mind you most of these children attend $50,000 schools). Let's demand accountability and stop the insults.

Can you tell where judges have no these powers in the world? in other advanced Countries, we call it the Court Party where they wield so much power that that can put a particular caliber of people into government. However, there are check and balances to safeguard the passions of Judges and u should not be worried they cannot be independent. they are the best that we have so far in administration of justice and I trust them.

Dan, there no way we can have the Court of God on earth it is absolutely impossible.You see the independence of the organs of state and the respect for them is the hullmark of every democracy.For an inpending decision of a court of law to become the basis of a war drums shows clearly how infantile our supposed democracy is.Actually the tyranny of the juduciary is basically the ignorance of what democracy means in this part of our world. And it is dangerous and therefore becomes the tyranny of the people. I may be wrong.

Just to add a little. You know the supposed tyranny of the judiciary is an intergral part of the western democracy we have agreed to practice.So you will find that in the case of Al Core vrs Bush it was the decision of a court whereas in Nana Akufu Addo and other vers John Mahama and others it was a war and is a war.The defference lies in our understanding of democracy and is as simple as that.

A very spirited submission on the tyranny of the judiciary. But what should be done to alleviate the problem?
It is possible to make the judicial positions elective with limited terms; but since that will be taking substantial power from the executive, I wonder if such a suggestion will ever be considered. If we cannot agree to elect District Chief Executives, how much more judges?

Are you hallucinating? How do you come by the view that the judiciary is tyrannical? A judiciary which freed Mpianim and co under NDC government is tyrannical? You're not serious

As a theologian, this is one of the best articles I have read so far on who judges the judges. The too religious person will simply answer by saying God judges the judges but that is simply a means to a sort of "escapeism" over human issues since judges are not angels or divines but humans as pointed out by Lawyer Korang (aka Prof). Even angels in Heaven who faulted were judged and cast away and cast down by the Supreme Being (God) from the Supreme Court of Heaven. Ghanaians in and outside Ghana should seriously weigh in on the question or matter raised by Mr. Korang and call for a referendum on it if we want a more stable, peaceful, non-threatening society. If we fail to do that within the appropriate time, the judiciary in Ghana may be brought to disrepute by some of its own judges, lawyers, staff, and the masses even as some institutions have become or are becoming, including some churches and some ministers.
