Oti Bless ‘dragged’ to Supreme Court over CJ attack

The Law Protection Foundation has served notice it will present the audio of the deputy minister-designate of local government and rural development, John Oti Bless, accusing the Chief Justice of political bias to the Supreme Court today.

In the audio, Oti Bless, who is also the National Democratic Congress’ MP for Nkwanta North was heard scandalising the apex court, specifically the CJ Georgina Wood, claiming she was manipulating the Bench for a pre-determined political end.

“We have discovered a fresh evidence to the effect that an honorable member of parliament was also on the MONTIE SHOW who also made contemptuous statements with the jailed 3. We shall submit the audio to your registry first thing 1/08/2016 for the consideration of the apex court. We trust as usual that justice shall be delivered,” the Foundation said in a statement.

Below is the full unedited statement:

We, LAW PROTECTION FOUNDATION (LPF), wish to express our profound gratitude to the apex court (SC) for stamping their authoritative verdict on the MONTIE 3 CASE , and so have scheduled a Thanksgiving Float on 1/08/2016 through the principal streets of Accra. We are thankful for such deterrent sentence on such despicable act of journalism and disrespect for the highest authority, SC.

“We LPF have received confirmation from MEDIA FOUNDATION for WEST AFRICA (MFWA) that since 27/07/2016, the date of sentence, the media has been characterized with sanity. We believe this is good for a country going into elections in less than five (5) months.

In another twist, we have discovered a fresh evidence to the effect that an honorable member of parliament was also on the MONTIE SHOW who also made contemptuous statements with the jailed 3. We shall submit the audio to your registry first thing 1/08/2016 for the consideration of the apex court.

We trust as usual that justice shall be delivered.
