It's unbelievable what is happening in Ghana under this NPP/Akufo Addo government. They are using all the powerful institutions to crush the weak in society for their personal egos. What a tragedy!!!

200 hundred of Jakpa used ambulance which couldnt moved for a meter costed 15 million dollars. Write the truth wai we all saw the differences between ndc ambulances and NPP ambulances. Your ndc actually went to buy garbage ambulances and dumped them in Ghana just like the Gitmo terrorist were dumped here in ndc time.

This reporter just focused on Attorney General's cross examination and left that of the defense counsels. We followed the proceedings during the day so we cannot be deceived.

The case that is going on right now,doesn't concerns Ghana Armforces .it's against So called Godfred Odane and Jakpa.So Ggana arm forces don't have anything against Jakpa after his releasing from the armforces..In Vol 2.in the arm forces act.when someone is being tried ,we don't use his old offenses to judge that person anywhere.Do you know ,if that person is reform or not.Big no.The attorney General verses Jakpa case doesn't concerns You.CDC.But if you doing what The man who appointed you to do then go on.Godfred Odame is a disgraceful and dishonest person.Just listen to what's is going on .Please CDS ,let us defend our democracy now and call a spade a spade.Even Kennedy agyapong sat on his radio station sometime ago to insult the whole arm forces and CDS couldn't do anything to him..Maybe the arm forces we chopped is not the same as armforces today.where we don't accept unlawful orders.At the end of the day ,it's you and ur families. It's not you and the one who appointed you .Ahooool ahoyaya.

Shameful. Why will the Army allow itself to be dragged into this court case that has nothing to with his service in Army? Even if the purpose was to act as character witness for the State, it still makes no sense. Very unprofessional of the Ghana Army high command to stoop to this low level in an attempt to aid the Attorney General in his attempt to malign the defendant since he was having a difficult time trying to prove his case in court. The Army should rather have made it known to the court that it will only provide information to court that details the officer's length of service and whether that officer's discharge was honourable or dishonourable. The military has no business testifying in a civil or criminal proceeding about an officer's character, and it's even more shameful when the person testifying is a ranking officer like the CDS. Only in a political persecution case will the CDS allow himself to be dragged into a court proceeding. The Ghana Army needs to rethink its practice of allowing itself to be used by the Attorney General, for Ghanaians and the courts can read between the lines.

A very awful reporter. How can you address a general ( Air Commodore) by his last name and not add his rank. This shows the level of ignorance and indiscipline in Ghana. Elsewhere he would be sued for libel. KMT
