Nii lantey, you have wasted your time discussing something you obviously needed education on! The Judiciary as an arm of Government is not operating in the isolation of legal technicalities. It is part of the process of up-holding rule of law, democracy and good governance. If you fail to get the full import of what the Atuguba-led panel did then I am afraid you need to re-think and re-write!

ist only impaired and defficiency minded political unpatrotic Person who would made issues from what the bench led by jusice Atuguba said.
the questions is: was it true that the politicians in the Country are growing horns and had succeeded in disarming the state institutions?
the answer is & was big YES
that was their concerned-that if the judiciary allow such an immorality to gain roots in our Young Democracy , the politicians will oneday for their perochial interest throw the Country into Point of no return.
take sir John & ken Agyapong for examnple, when they are on Radio they talk as if they are gods -they had the power & rights to Insult everybody , when sir John crosses the judicial warning & touchline the bench shown him where he belong as a citizen, let ken kuranchi open his big mouth and run over them and anybody again he will see who had the mandatory authority in the Country -that was what they were talking about

Atuguba was wrong in many ways. Our constitution does not give him any right to become our moral policeman. The 3 judges who were brutally murdered for their fight against culture of silence died in vain because of Atuguba's own introduction of culture of silence. How could we fight against any dictator that cows us into silence when we had supported a SC judge who had done so earlier? That question should be answered by those who supported him blindly for tribal and partisan reasons. Shame unto ALL of them.
Why did he run to America to release his judgement, if he really cares for the ordinary Ghanaians? Why did he not stay in the country to see what would happen after his judgement and try to MAINTAIN ORDER before leaving the country, or was whatever he was going to do more important than the peace in the land he talked about? And yet, this holier-than-thou judge had the temerity to lambast the politician that they are the first to flee the land in case of violence, when he had already secured his visa to leave the land? Was he afraid of anything?

Nii Lantey must is venturing into areas that is best left to legal jurisprudence because he is wrong to posit that a judge or for that matter justice Atuguda was wrong in introducing moral concepts in his remarks.It is like saying that the debate on positive law and natural has been settled on behalf of positive law.What is the difference between the two.
Natural law system depends upon the
standards and yardsticks of morality to formulate any law, whereas the positivist system of law
depends upon the conscious and deliberate attempt of law making but it goes without saying that there is a merger somewhere of the two systems of law.
This is what is called the primary law.Where law and morality merge for the law to have its highest expression.So a good judicial decision must have both the law and moral aspect to be a good law.Whether we like it or not the concept of equity in law,natural justice and human right law are all rooted in moral law or the normative rules.

The import of Nii's criticisms is that Atuguda should stick strictly to the law without a moral message and I am saying he is wrong because there is nothing like that in law.Ethics is an integral part of municipal law so justice Atuguda was within his right to raise moral questions and rightly so and a welcome one for that matter.Perhaps you did not understand what I have written there hence your interpretation of it that way.
As usual Nyansasem or what ever you call yourself intervenes with his crass nonsense instead of confronting my comments in a rational way he is introducing his normal crass politic of npp solidarity without the merits.No matter how you denigrate the sc judges, they came out with the right judgement and correctly so.
Any way,I have had the occasion of telling you that you have made this forum your happy hunting ground and you are in danger of becoming a meddlesome busy body and crank.instead of listening to the advise your interference is becoming even more rampant. Keep off me with your nonsense.

We are done with the election petition and the country is still stuck in reverse gear, with corruption rising higher than mountain Afadjato. Why not move your FBA from your government flats and go to Ghana and help your partners in crime to build the nation. Nonsense.
Come here and move me. You are always here supporting thievery, corruption and idiocy from your party and President and yet want Nyansasem to leave Ghanaweb for you and the other Nation wreckers, so that you 'defecate' this forum with your liars, propaganda and gibberish, huh? Like I told the other idiot, the glove are off and I will descend on any idiot who believes that this forum belongs to them and have the sole right to insult others.

Now, I don't see myself as foolish nor less intellectual than anyone in the world, not to mention on a Ghanaian forum of developing people without a clue yet what it means to be civilised! But, yet, I disagree very much with what Okunka wrote. It is more like the canard he thought he was writing against.
I think Okunka and your understanding of the theory of the Separation of Powers is not even up to O'L standard; at least not how I taught it several years ago. It is devoid of the limitations which do not make the theory complete or absolute in even the USA, as it is on paper. So from this gross misunderstanding based on false premises, he launched into attacking Atuguba by even indulging in logically flawed arguments against what he allegedly said.
Yes, in theory, the legislature makes the laws but in practice, you guys should know by now that it is the Executive that in actual fact makes the laws by drafting them in the form of bills and presenting to the legislature to approve, which in our LDC case, becomes largely rubber stamping. When a legislator manages to present a bill, a very difficult and costly task, it is called a "private member bill". The system of administrative tribunals which need to be seriously expanded in Ghana also means the Executive dispenses justice just like the judiciary. Refer to Lord Ivor Jennings criticism of Dicey's Rule of Law principles.
The judiciary does not only administer justice through the application of the law when the Executive arrests culprits and put them in front of judges in courts. They also interpret the laws and even the Const. and make "case laws" and change the Const. through judicial interpretation. That's how, according to K.C. Wheare in his classic "Constitutions", that constitutions change without undergoing formal amendment. So in effect, the judiciary makes laws, even moreso than the legislature.
I'd also like to associate myself with Nii Ashitey and tell Nyansasem that what he wrote is not gibberish. Atuguba is very right in expressing such sentiments as a servant of the people. When judges in Ghana realised that they are there to serve the people and not award outrageous judgement debts against them to pay from their taxes, etc., when corrupt attorneys from the AGs conspire with filibusters not to turn up in court for a cut of the loot, that day shall see a huge improvement in the debased corruption we have in Ghana.
But was Atuguba setting himself up as a "moral police", trying to snoop in our private affairs like what positions we use when indulging in "bedmatics" with our spouses, girlfriends, or how many of such lovers we keep outside the marital home? Far from it! He seems to be expressing himself as a guardian of the laws and proper conduct in the public sphere which he also occupies as an actor to judge all who misbehave against the public order and break the laws. To therefore tag him a moral police is akin to giving a dog a bad name and proceeding to hang it!
Well, I've said enough but i really don't believe developing people can understand these fine rudiments of modern statecraft.
