    I know and believe that over 99% will not forgive Akufo to seek review of the verdict. That is why Nana should take the lead to address this case. This is the last chance to save his name and integrity. He must do so now.

    A person, a group of people, or a party fighting against what they claim or see as miscarriage of justice should always be appreciated

  • Kay 10 years ago

    We should only pray that whatever verdict that will come out will make it impossible for any party to go in for a review.For eg a 8-1or 7-2 will discourage everybody,too much litigation will not paint a good picture.

    How the hell can't the leaders, lawyers and/or spokespersons for the NPP & NDC understand that the Supreme Court can't QUICKLY overturn its own ruling? Which law schools did they go to or are they smoking some funny stuff? Un ...

    Shut up!!! Where were you when the NPP lost twice at the supreme court? Didn't you go for review and appointed two extra judges? Wasn't the supreme court the last court of resort? Don't be scared of what NDC can do legally.

    Hey Big dady was hap? Apparantely your nonsensical responce is a concession of defeat in this discussion. Being delusional and in denial won't change this situation.

    NO! EVEN IF IT 9-0 AND A PARTY WANTS TO GO AND WASTE HIS/HER MONEY ON REVIEW, HE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DO SO. IT IS THE LAW. THAT WILL BRING FINALITY TO THE CASE.

    Who told you so? Can you provide the particular article number in the constitution that stipulates so?

    did you ask Kuffuor to provide a particular article number in the constitution stipulating that he should as the Supreme Court to review its judgement when Tsatsu floored the NPP?

    The Ghanian Constitution is deficient in so many respects hence the need for the Constitutional Review Committee. If you study jurisprudence all over the world you would find the distinction when a Supreme Court sits as a Con ...

    if you read my post carefully, you find that I'm saying no review is called for when the Supreme Court rules on a Constitutional matter.

    Justice is not pandering and accommodating the vexatious leanings of a litigant. Because he threatens violence does not mean we must stretch the legal proceedings to please him.

  • CONCERNED GHANAIANS 10 years ago

    Who is the 'we' that you speak of? The true 'we' in this case is the constitution? Have you read it to know what it says regarding complaints and appeals?

    The constitution says if you're dissatisfied with the ruling of the supreme court, you can go and appeal to have it overturned. The law is the constitution and NOT sympathisers of NPP like Sam okudzeto
