    Is this a reflection of how little trust the Mahama family has in the Ghanaian judicial system? Is this jumping the gun too early?

  • Paa 6 years ago

    They only need sensible person to talk for the family.

  • SARPONG 6 years ago

    No, I smell some politics here and not scared to voice out that, a family member close to the Ndc party is trying to make this tragic incident political.

    The family have to be careful because all Ghanaians are grieving wit ...

    It seems they have little hope in our criminal justice system. This is because of failures of the present government in similar high profile cases.

    Why vigilantism must be condemned and punished in Ghana, it should be noted that Ghana is a sovereign nation and will not respect any ruling by any court outside Ghana.

    You appear to agree with one of the points I am making which in effect is that; until the family can establish that justice has not been done there's no justification to run to the ICC. What makes you think that our justice ...
