You are so funny. An accused person is innocent until proven guilty by a competent law court so on what basis do you conclude that accused Ofori Atta has stolen money? Seminar on the other hand, was proven guilty by a court of law so, you see, whist Ofori Atta is just an accused person, Sedinam is a convict who has absconded.

Why is AG concerned about the fact that his lawyers are top lawyers. The AG is obviously afraid. What is the basis of Ghanaweb's estimates? In America, such legal services can be free of charge.

In other words, Ghanaian lawyers could charge clients at least. $500 an hour all the way up to $3000 to fight extradition cases of Ghanaian criminals or any other criminals to either delay or stop their extradition to the US, right? The charges of lawyers representing California lawyer Governor new some is $3000 an hour and they were kept for months and years on his case against the US government. The state if California has such rates so Ofori Atta retaining lawyers at such rates is not surprising but where did he get the money to retain them for months and years from? Also, if we have extradition understanding does he even have to have a condition to stop him from being handed over to Ghana? Please ex AG, stop preparing our minds for mediocrity. Go get him and if not let's scratch all extraditions. Period. Tired of our people selling out to white men all around...from freemason's to Christian preachers etc!!! Bullshit!

Is good we kicked these thieves out of power. We must equally force them to leave Ghana. They are thieves with no manners and dignity who ruled us with their foolishness, gross mismanagement and gross stupidity. They have looted and milk Ghana dry so they can afford any top lawyer. AG, build your facts and show Ghanaians what you are made of. That thief must be thrown out of America to come and face justice in Ghana. Wasting our stolen money

Why don't you register old cars on dates when they renew their roadworthy certificates? If my roadworthy is supposed to be renewed in February, must I come again after April to re-register?

What is Ofori-Atta running away from? If he has not done anything wrong, why would he be hiring the so-called top lawyers to defend him? If Ofori-Atta has conscience, then he should be ashamed of himself.

Ayine, you hate and Scare Ken Ofori Atta
because He is ahead of you, This is really
Unfortunate, you have booked him crimes you
say he has committed. He is fighting his way and
you are fighting your way to get him down to
Ghana. Does Ghana interested to know how
much his legal battles would cost ?
Ayine defend your Acedamic claims other than
those nonsense rhetorics.

makes no sense to hear the AG make useless noise about what lawyers Ofori-Atta may have retained in the USA. Nor do Ghanaians care to hear that the AG is not afraid of Ofori-Atta's lawyers. The AG should rather be conferring with extradition experts to ensure that his agency does its homework by the time the extradition hearing comes up. And whatever steps are being taken towards the extradition hearing should be a matter of confidentiality so as not to unknowingly divulge strategies or key information to the opposing side. Mr. AG, do your homework in preparation for this case and stop making unnecessary comments to the media. It matters not which lawyers Ofori-Atta retains, and it matters not how much that crook may be paying his lawyers to defend him on his extradition case, nor does it matter whether the AG is afraid of those lawyers or not. No use coming to the media if you have nothing of importance to say to the Ghanaian public.

This is nonsense and needless to us. Is it your business ? Your business is to prosecute corrupt officials but not to tell us how much a respondent is hiring legal defences. AG must stop blowing hot air these days.
