...So, the people around the president including his wife and those Team “B” staffers were aware of the president failing health. Therefore, who were they kidding when they ruin insults on whoever questions the former president health?
As much as I hate to admit Rawlings was right with his statement. If they have had listen to those who were concern with the president health, he might be alive today.

The EC of Ghana thinks that Ghanaians are fools. We shall see! You better give the bribed money back to Mahama and his NDC corrupt officials before fire burns you yourself. Kwadwo Afari Djan, you are a disgrace to the Akans.

Mr. Adu Boahen, do not not think that the Judges are that stupid! If the EC pink sheets are destroyed by fire,all the Political Parties who took part in the 2012 elections have copies. Look, even if it happens that fire guts all the pink sheets of the political parties, the source documents, i.e the Ballot boxes with the voting papers incorporating our thumb prints (including yours, if you voted) are available.The Elections are completely over! There is no way that Nana Akufo Addo would be declared president by going through the window. We use the DOOR to the Presidency not the WINDOW.Why is it that all along the NPP do not say that the ballot papers in the boxes should be recounted to establish the final truth?. Because they know the results would be the same. President Mahama would still get 50.70% and Nana Akufo Addo 47.74%. Elections are won at the Polling Stations where the votes are counted. To quote the respected Mr. Kwasi Pratt: 'AGORO NE FEM' which literally means Battles are fought on the ground, and not on paper. Indeed they are not fought on paper where when all the Parties sign on the PINK SHEETS and the EC representative forgets to sign the sheet, the entire results for that polling station should be declared null and void.Ghanians are not stupid, you know. The NPP hooligans may understand what you say, but the level headed Ghanian knows that you are living in a FOOL'S paradise and only time will tell.

IF THE WORLD COMMUNITY (ECOWAS, AU, EU AND UN) OBSERVERS GROUP HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE ELECTION WAS FREE AND FAIR DESPITE SOME SMALL FLAWS, AND YOU BELIEVE NPP WON, IT'S YOUR CUP OF TEA. IN YOUR SENSIBLE MIND, NANA ADDO CAN'T WIN MAJORITY IN 2 REGIONS (ASHANTI AND EASTERN) AND BECOME PRESIDENT. PITY THAT GUYS LIKE SAMMY AWUKU, SIR JOHN AND NANA AKOMEAH HAVE THE MEDIA TO TALK NONSENSE. IT'S NOT EVERYONE THAT ASCRIBE TO YOUR BALDERDASH. THE GOV'T HAS INHERITED SITUATION WHICH HEREDITARY, WATER, ELECTRICITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE THAT NEEDS BETTER ATTENTION THAN YOUR WISHES THAT THE OLD FOLK, LIKE NANA ADDO, BECOMES PRESIDENT. I BELIEVE POSTERITY IS WATCHING US.

Do people like Sammy Awuku have a career job to go to apart from doing politics?. It must be unhealthy and stressful to be in a constant state of dissatisfaction, shouting wolf all the time, wallowing in negativity and bickering. It definitely will have an effect on the relationship with spouses and d other family members will be strained. I see that when you guys come on TV nowadays, you cant even smile because you have such ill-feeling in your hearts. You guys need a breather from this animosity and pointing accusing fingers all the time otherwise you will end up having heart disease and depression. Look for a good career path different from constant policking which normally has its ups and downs. When you are out of power, that is not the end of the developmental cycle of the nation Ghana and you should not adopt the strategy of sabotage because if you do win after a failed government, your task of progress is even more compounded. A word to the wise is enough

Why the Pink sheets are still with the EC is a mystry to me.After all it is one of the most important evidence in the petition case going on at SC.We hear how people are going round trying to get others sign some pink papers,now it is fire at the IT office of the EC,so what will be next before the case finally starts.
Why is the SC not asking the EC to deposit the Pink sheets at the Court,the elections has been over for more that three months.
So the question is, why is the EC still keeping such an important document which is suppose to play a very important role in the on going case?
Joseph 11 years ago

The NPP, NDC, and the SC all have copies of the pink sheets so if the EC burnt theirs, it will not affect the evidence in court. All Awuku is doing is just mouth-mouth.

In this day an age with various forms of data storage, including networking, icloud, there should be no reason the fire in one office of the EC should affect deliberations. I am sure all the data should now be available electronically and accessible from other offices with good backup, that arson would be an excuse not to retrieve information when needed, except if you think like Justice Kpegah

Don't dream or think of that,Mr. Sammy Awuku, after all the conferences and speeches that he has been making,ignoring the breach of 'Contempt of Court' and 'Conflict of Interest' and commending the Electoral Commission for a good work done well?

Let's wait patiently for the outcome.

Don't you know that any burnt corroborative material is a victory for The NPP?

Just relax!

When Rawlings needed a new place to sleep, he set fire into state property,at first, it backfired, thanks to one cabbie who called the Fire people.But succeeded in razing down state property the second time,this was after he had looted the entire furnishing. Ghanaians must be on guard ;they will try it the second time. These sons of bitches are very good at causing harm! Ask Rawlings, when the fire guys arrived at his residence in 1999 to put out the fire, he refused to let them fight the fire instead, he took hold of the hose and went into his living room to put out the fire himself. These crooks will try it again!

So the EC will set fire to its office and then turn around in timely manner to quench it so as to save items from being destroyed?

Where is the logic here here to infer that the EC purposely set its own edifice on fire? Idiots parading radio stations to say stupid things.

This saga of the disputed election paradox keeps evolving week after week. One thing that the affected parties need to get clear without any ambiguity is that, Ghanaians are very much psyched up to get to the very bottom of this matter, so nobody should play any mumbo jumbo games with this case. We need the truth to pop up, like the proverbial cork, which cannot be submerged under water forever. If Mahama won, fair deal. However, if from the evidence adduced he lost, then the right thing would have to be done. If Nana Addo lost too, fair deal, however, if he won too, then the right thing needs to be done, no hanky panky business.

The only solution is for you ewes and northerners to commit collective suicide as you are a curse to mankind and this your alliance against the Akans will be your own undoing , aboaba like you . for over 50 years your envy has filled your souls with hate despite the love you have been given , now we say no more . Nobody has defeated a people over 15 million strong and now you see you are exposed and the truth is coming out you want that we leave you alone to continue stealing and pillaging ? simple water and electricity has become a challenge and you want to fight with us . you started it so reap now what you have sown . i sincerely hope the supreme court doesnt give you an elegant way out so you see the full wrath of the Akans . you camouflaged your politics with so called ani corruption , left wing fool bravado ideologies but in reality it was nothing but tribalism and evil hatred to break the Akan nations to serve you . we all know you treacherous agenda and each day more and more wake up ,even the foreigners have seen the light , long live the the Republic of Akan

Listen here you aboaba ewe cat eater , I am not your brother rather your worst nightmare and enemy. you see i dont camouflage behind ideologies or fall for your stupid finger pointing at the Ashantis. The fact remains there is not a single Akan clan or family that hasn't had someone persecuted , victimized or defamed by you and your various regimes so for this we are brothers? shiaaaa!!!!. The only one's partially spared were the traitors , collaborators and back stabbers like gen mosquito for whom awaits the punishment . Kuffuor only got power because you had reached rock bottom and had no hope so despite his selfish tribalistic corrupt ways was able to reverse the downward trend and raise the country from the laughing stock to a level of some respect. As far as looking for money goes with those who supposedly have it what did gadafi , the chinese ,saudis,lebanese, koreans and turkish do except further push the country into the mud of shame? You talk with a forked tongue of lies so will underline the point envy for you , the great God has blessed the Akans with all the natural resources gold , oil , cocoa just to name a few . you in your sick envy went to pour used engine oil into the ground so you could also claim you have some , so check your head.
