The supreme Court was not politically poisoned when the retired JUstice gave his dubious rulling on the election petition case brought before the supremeCourt. The supreme Court was fair when you sat and rulled in favour of your party the NDC but see how you are criticising your own simply because their decision went against your party.

Make no mistake, Ghanaians...!!!!!! Owudifuor Akuffo Addo is certainly THE MOST WORRIED MAN HERE ON EARTH at the moment...!!!!!! He has never ever dreamt that his 8 years as a murderous president would soon come for him to leave power. Now he can clearly see that his secret murder of Hon. JB Danquah-Adu is wildly festering but there's absolutely nothing that he can do. This was the reason why you people heard him shouting loudly like a MAD MAN that he would only hand over power to his party flagbearer. Ay3 huhuuuuhu..............

Those ignorantly supporting the injustices going on there, the danger is, people will lose faith in the justice system, and the outcome will be, they will begin to create their own justice system, So Tblair or whatever, imagine when walking on the street on sunny afternoon and u are mistakenly accused of stealing, and instead of being taken to the police, the people decides to beat you up till u are dead, or decides to burn you alive, you could have proven your innocence if you had bn taken to the police, But your support for evil had led you to an untimely death, don't get it twisted, this analogy can happen to anyone at anytime there in Ghana irrespective of one being NDC or NPP, so keep on supporting evil and build a lawless country.

Your country Togo is the country that needs to be liberated "FRANKIE", the leader of Ayigbes on Ghanaweb. When that northern cow Atuguba cast the deciding vote at the Supreme Court to give "victory" to his fellow northerner John Mahama in 2012 was there political poisoning of the Supreme Court? His political leaning all along has been exposed. When he cast that vote in favour of his fellow northerner in 2012 he did so as a member of the party of Ayigbes and Northerners, the (P)NDC.

Heck no. God has no time to bless a religious prostitute Aplanke Bawumia. Are you forgetting that God caused the building of your NPP break the 8 sham national cathedral to come to a halt because the desperate and devious NPP lied to Ghanaians that the NPP's ananse Akufo-Addo had made a pact with God to build that sham national cathedral? God is keenly aware that this monumental failure Aplanke Bawumia is part of the NPP thieving brigade that has looted and mismanaged Ghana's economy, bringing misery and pain upon Ghanaians as a result. God doesn't bless thieving digitalized liars who have no care for the country that they've been voted into office to govern.

This man and former SC judge Atuguba knows no shame. His own ignorance and hypocrisy give him out. His Achilles hill was the 2012 election petition where he blatantly skewed the ruling in favor of his political party ndc and monetary benefactor John Mahama who was dancing over tea because his political and financial inducements have paid off. Justice Atuguba simply keep quiet in your retirement and don’t expose your hypocrisy and corruption. If you did that you will gain more respect than being the proverbial kettle calling the pot black.

How many months did it take the 2012 election dispute to be resolved? 8-bloody months deliberations before the election dispute was ruled in favor of the NDC, John Mahama victory was confirmed, and during those months, John Mahama could do nothing in his administration, because the court prevented him for carrying out his duties as president elect until the SC ruling on the matter.
And how many months did it take the Akuffo Addo Bawumia SC to rule out the outcome of the 2020 general election dispute by John Mahama? Bearly 2-months, that they threw out the case. So which one was the SC ruling injustices, they did not even invite the EC boss who was the second defendant to mount her defense for questioning.
But 2012, the EC boss Afari Gyan was called to defend his ruling on John Mahama victory, so which SC was biased? Tell me Sammy

Bullshit. Atuguba is just pained he was not appointed Chief Justice. Is he more learned than the judges currently sitting on the supreme court? There was a question..they ruled. and gave their reasons. What is this nonsense about politicization? Are we to infer then that his decisions when he was a member of the bench also politically colored? This is nonsense.

And then he goes on to question the appointment of the Chief Justice by the President and says it is inimical to independence of the court. Is that not what is done everywhere else? Is there a single democracy where the Chief Justice is not appointed by the leader of the country? Pray tell, all knowing Atuguba, who should be appointing the Supreme Court Chief Justice then? Should we leave the justices to elect their own Chief Justice? Is that democratic? Strict separation of powers does not exist anywhere in the world and in fact, no legal scholar advocates for this. It is impractical and counter-productive.

In summary, enough with the pained, vendetta colored analysis Atuguba. Enjoy your retirement in peace. Don't think you are smarter than the average Ghanaian. Because you are not. The constitution which made your supreme court justice comes from the people of Ghana, in entirety, not a select elite few. So climb down from your high horse and take your seat among us mere mortals. Because that is all you are.

You guys can decide to play the ostrich and bury your heads in the sand! Don't you see and hear what the masses are saying about our judiciary? Don't you read the Afrobarometer reports? What is the scorecard for our judiciary? You can go ahead and attack, troll and whatever, sound minds, who are standing up to speak about the decadence we are experiencing currently because you believe it profits your inward-looking NPP party. Think about the future, I know these things would turn around and haunt you people. Mark it. This is the reward of electing an overbearing personality as a president. He doesn't show leadership in anything but only wants his will to be done at all time and at all cost. Nana Akufo Addo, has assaulted almost all the pillars of our democracy and Ghana is sinking very fast on every statistics. Are we blind or oblivious to these facts? This is the time to save the sinking ship. I'm glad the masses are singing the song, "enough is enough, there is no 8 to be broken here". That's the spirit!

Where we have reached now in our development, we need technology and hard work to push us through. Where was China 50years ago, a country described as "country of bicycles" by the West and look at their situation now, all through technology and hard work.

Therefore you need technology for digitalisation. That is the step in the right direction. We are not going forward and backward as it has been previously. From Nkrumah up to date, the problem have been hash economic situation and new government is brought in only to make the condition worse."Aduru me so" syndrome is the order of the day. One government built and another come and dismantle. When a new government is in place they simply loot and share for the first 4 years and the past government is always blame for the worsening situation. Have you heard of "aka dompe" issue?
I am surprise that NDC people are now talking positively about Kuffour's government, a person they trumpeted as the most corrupt.
We are not going that way.Bawumia knows the problem and he can fix it better than Mahama. Mahama and his gangs are only fighting to come in and enrich themselves. We will not give them that chance.
We used to be blind but no more. We know the two leading candidates who is presenting a good policy. Have you heard of people talking about Mahama's campaign policies and even recommending him?

We prefer a lair to an international thief, a casanova and drunkard.
Mention one policy which is credited to Mahama as far as his political career is concerned, from his time as assembly man through MP, minister, vice president and a president. Bawumia is to digitalisation as Mahama is to nothing.So far what policy has Mahama propose that you thick will push the nation forward in his campaign? Is it the 24hour of disco and rearing of lions or his irrigation in rain forest for cocoa production? The man has no policy, "it is my turn now", that is his point. The two leading parties cancelled out in corruption but the one with good policies is better. Asiedu Nketia entered politics in faded oversized up and down, Ofosu Ampofo(fotoo) nothing in his pocket, Mahama as an average Ghanaian and many more. None of them came finanacially sound but they are counted among the rich now. NDC is a party that members are fighting over appointments and positions even before ballot papers are printed. If these people are given the chance to come to government again, even bones will not be left. What we are calling as hardship now will be considered as heaven when NDC comes, we will experience hell on earth.

I don't know if people really think before making contributions on this platform. What wrong did Atuguba say? Let's even admit that the politicisation of the supreme court started at his era. Should that continue? Where is wisdom? It should interest all of us to know that Ghana is not for NPP or NDC but for all of us. If the NDC does not go, will the NPP had come to power? The same way, NPP must go for another party to come. This is simple logic. One party cannot rule Ghana for ever. Take a critical look at the country now. The economy is very bad. How many people can say boldly and proudly that their living condition is good under this NPP government? Look at the broad day thievery going on. Bank of Ghana making losses in six consecutive years. Cedi to dollar rate, putting most family members in key positions and building statutes in self honour, etc. Ah! Ghanaians can't see or feel what's going on? Fellow Ghanaians, arise let's arise and deliver our dear nation. Thank you and God bless our homeland Ghana.

I used to have great admiration for Justice Atuguba, but now he has completely lost my respect. According to the Constitution, a by-election must be held when there is an empty seat in Parliament. The makeup of Parliament can only change through an election or a by-election. Altering Parliament's makeup through a simple announcement goes against the law and could result in ridiculous consequences.

This is the occurrence that has taken place at this time. In this scenario, the vacancy happened within three months of a general election. Article 112 (6) of the Constitution states that a by-election cannot be conducted so close to a general election. The composition of Parliament is to be preserved with no alterations.

Why does the NDC aim to become the majority in Parliament shortly before the election? It is sensible to leave such matters alone, but the NDC is determined to stir up unnecessary conflicts. Justice Atuguba is being politically diminished to make irrelevant comments in support of his political party, the NDC, rather than for the benefit of the nation.

You NPP animals have no brains within your skulls. So Atuguba us your problem and not Akuffo Addo? That Chim with his mouth like a snout is the cause of all the mess we are experiencing in Ghana. What a shameless man. That corrupt idiot is destroying the nation and you fools cannot reason beyond your noses to see this. That is pathetic. That idiot called Nana Addo with his mouth like that of a snout is the problem facing Ghana. His arrogance and lawlessness is what is taking the country backward and you imbeciles cannot see that? Wonderful. How come? Fools, wake up. That corrupt animal is only fronting Bawumliar just to hide his dirty smelly anus. Look, what is 40,000 dollars that he was seen grabbing with both hands the other time? This should go to tell you who corrupt he is. What is 40,000 dollars? I am an ordinary Ghana, who makes not less than 10,000 dollars here in New York within a month. That is no money I will receive with glee as a bribe supposing I was on his seat. Never. That is far far demeaning. You guys need to look sharp. Come to the US here and hear what they think about us as Africans. We arz so stupid as to always want to run to the white man with a bowl in hand begging when we are wealthier than them in terms of natural resources. It is because of visionless leaders like Nana Addo and his likes that Africa is where it is. Tell me, what has the NPP government done with the billions of loans they have contracted. The nation's debt is now hovering around 800 billion cedis. Really? From 120 billion in 2016,this now the new figure we have in just 8yrs and you think it is all smiles in Ghana? Watch what is happening with our mineral resources. Galamsey, which is the NPP's doing, is now threatening our very potable water sources while cocoa trees are pillaged threatening that sector. State lands have been looted and shared among the criminal cabal. The bank of Ghana has been making loses since 2019.And on and on and on. Pls, wake up Ghana. Some of us are not at home, but we have investments there in Gh and our families are equally in the country and we also have no other country than Ghana. We are not also remaining here for good but coming home to settle, grow old , die and be buried in Ghana out ancestral land. I am coming back home and to go to my nativity at Yua in the UE region and hope to come and meet a better Ghana than the one I am currently seeing suprentended over by that corrupt chim with a snout for a mouth.
Ps.Tell Bawumia to stay off the Bawku issue. He is the cause of the troubles there at the moment. Is he not from Mamprugu? What was his take as chairman of the police council when that rival chief was enkinned at Nalerigu? Is the Nayiri not his father? What advice did he Bawumia give to that zealot overlord when hé started the Bawlu trouble by enskinning a rival chief? His people are blocking cars just behind his family house at Walewale on the main Tamale-Bolga road and killing people in the name of the Bawku conflict. What is he doing about that with the Nayiri? These are the issues. NOP animals insulting Atuguba here should think we'll for I do not want to believe they are MOTHERFUCKERS. Greetings from Brooklyn.

I have always admire justice Atuguba, his uprightness , and straight forward actions accordingly from the law is unmatched in this country- these are the type of people we need at the supreme court. he don't care who you are, he looks into your face and tells you the truth, the law and uphold the constitution in a highly esteem.
if we don't cure this judicial cancer, then let us all forget about democracy.
we need an in-depth analysis and debate about how judges are been appointed either to the supreme court ,appeal court or the high court.
2. if we want to adopt democracy and rule of law, the court may play a very vital role in it
that is why it is very important to start looking for as top who qualifies to be a judge.
Qualification to be a judge must not simply start as to having a law degree or having finished the law school.
the requirements must be like
1. the candidate must have a law degree from accredited university in Ghana
2.the candidate must have a certificate from Ghana law school
3. the candidate if applying to be a magistrate court must first work as a state attorney with 3years , then must have a professional certificate as a judge.- here we must set up that professional school of law A) 2years for magistrates
4. anybody who want to be a high court judge must first hold magistrate professional certificate before allow to proceed 1year Cours in the professional certificate exams, if he passed the exams then he could apply to be a high court judge.

5.The appeal court candidate
the applicant must hold a high court professional certificate then qualified to be enrolled for 2 years professional certificate as an appeal court judge when he passed the exams .then he could apply for an appeal court judge position

6. supreme court
The applicant must be a an appeal court judge with at least 5years experience
then qualified to be enrolled to processional certificate exams that teaches about the constitutional applications, international business law and other jurisdictional laws also for 2years before such a person could apply through parliament a job at the Supreme Court.
if we don't put these type of measures in place every president could act and do the same mistakes that could denied the justice and fairness we are all looking for.
7 The president could be allowed to appoint a minister of justice but should be forbid to appoint an Attorney General
Ghana must start walking back and look for the right path for our democracy

If NPP leaders supporters had also bastardized the courts at the judgement you delivered in the election petition 2023 you won't have the mouth to be talking trash about the current supreme court judges.

Justice 'Bollot Stuffing' Atuguba, which of the two, Supreme or High court interprets the law? The Supreme Court was asked to interpret the law with regard to vacant seat declaration. I'm not a lawyer, but the ruling of the court did just that. Why this interlectual dishonesty among those bastardizing the Supreme Court? It is evidently clear that the NDC tend to lose their cases because they lack evidence. Asiedu Nketiah has said so when they challenged the 2020 presidential results. Court cases involving NPP and NDC need not be seen as an equation, "one for NPP, the next for NDC". Justice Atuguba, we all saw your stance in the 2013 electoral petition. Don't pretend to be an honest ex Supreme Court Justice simply because you weren't.

Justice Atuguba has retired honourably but it doesn't mean those justices in the SC aren't good. In the nineties late Justice Abban while delivering his opinion in a case quoted wrongly a 1970 Daily Graphic editorial as late Primier KA Busia opinion.
Kwaku Baako draw his attention. Kwaku Baako and another journalist who commented were cited for contempt and jailed. Justice Bamford Addo a panelist on the case said truth not matter in contempt case. Justice Abban removed page 28 of his ruling where Dr. Busia was mentioned and replaced it mischievously during the contempt trial. Later Rawlings promoted Justice Abban to CJ. President Mills nominated Justice Bamford Addo as speaker of Parliament.
Justice Atuguba was less than fifty years when Rawlings took him to SC. Is it political poisoning. Justice Archer had retired but Rawlings brought him to be CJ.
