"Even though the supreme court judges deferred to the lower courts to decide on Woyome, they fired a critical salvo against lawyers in the cases- Peasah Boadu for Waterville, Osafo Buabeng for Woyome, Tony Lithur for Austro Invest and maybe Ekow Awoonor who acted as sole mediator between parties with then AG Betty Mould Iddrissu.
The counsel for John Mahama,Tony Lithur, at the supreme court election petition case was part of the woyome scam that stole millions of Euros from Ghana. This is SICK- NDC must go".

Remember when npp told their followers to dress in white and go to church for thanksgiving even when the final results were not complete just to make a case that they had been robbed so is this one too. In fact, the SC is really wasting time that is why this crooks think they still stand a chance, where on earth have you seen SC removing democratically elected president and putting in a 70 years old drug baron, greedy and arrogant man as president? You have been found out and God will punish you for wasting Ghanaian tax-payers money. Npp is now for dogs, especially with people like sir john in the helm of affairs of the party. Npp will soon die and a new party formed in its place.

...The Government exercised the latter option when we disagreed over the judgment debt and other Gargantuan crimes. The Government, and my colleague Ministers at the time know that there was no provision for dismissal under my contract of employment as a Minister or that of any Minster.

I reserve the right as a citizen of Ghana to protect and defend my honour and integrity should this civilized challenge for the truth be ignored.

This is not the price I should be made to pay by the Government of Ghana for defending the Constitution of Ghana in the Waterville and Isofoton unconstitutional payments declared by the Supreme Court.

Consider Mould Iddrus as AG in this beautiful country of ours, instead of defending this NATION, she stood so low and collaborated with woyome plus some other foreign nationals to RUB the nation. If you want to exercise your power why don't you start from there. She was suppose to have been charged after her resignation afterall she has collaborated her office with this criminals to cause financial loss to the state.
Thank God for the live of Amidu who stood and fought for us we could've been rub from this tax payers money.

AUTHOR: EBO QUUANSAH---------------Dear reader, forgive me for diverting from the topic I promised yesterday. I have been compelled by Jerry Rawlings’ outburst in Nigeria about corruption, as if he himself is a saint. I am compelled to do this expose on the former junta head for those who do not know his role in promoting corruption as a national concept. Read on!
In June 1979, eight top military officers, including three former heads of state, were lined up and executed at the Teshie Military Firing range in two batches. Gen. Ignatius Kutu Acheampong, Gen. Frederick William Kwasi Akuffo, Gen. Robert Kotei, Lt-Gen. Akwasi Amankwaa Afrifa, Rear Admiral Joy Amedume, Air Vice-Marshall George Yaw Boakye, Emmanuel K. Utuka and Colonel Roger Felli were accused of corrupting the body politic.
In an interview with New Nation, a monthly magazine circulating in Nigeria and now defunct, the Chairman of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council, which supervised over the most famous case of extra-judicial killings in the history of the political evolution of Ghana, justified the action of his military junta as a necessary action to rid the body politic of corruption.
“They were jumbo-sized armed robbers whose killings left the world smelling nicer,” Flt-Lt. Rawlings was quoted by the magazine as saying in explanation.
Jerry Rawlings said the officers had to be killed, “because Ghana was faced with their type of thievery breed of criminals who were worse than Nigeria’s armed robbers” in the 1970s.
“Now, I’ll tell you what we have here. We have a breed that is, perhaps, worse than your armed robbers,” he told reporters of the New Nation in an exclusive interview. “They are the pen robbers. These species of vermin have for long perpetrated corruption with impunity.
“They have not only bled the nation white, but as a result of their thievery, Ghana has suffered hunger, loss of national spirit, loss of pride and respect in the military uniform. So, as you can see, while Nigerians have perceived their main social problems to be the proliferation of six Naira armed robbers, we, in Ghana, think that our problem is that of people who take widow’s mite from a bankrupt nation.”
In the words of the ex-junta head: “While you (Nigeria) content yourself at the Bar Beach by watching the executions of mal-adjusted labourers, mechanics or clerks, we in Ghana, have killed the jumbo armed robbers, call them generals or brigadiers – whose going to leave the world smelling sweeter.”
One interesting thing about this claim is that Jerry Rawlings and his righteous AFRC members could not account for monies lodged in AFRC Account 48, which was specially created to lodge huge monies paid by businessmen and other persons and institutions found guilty by a so-called people court to have corrupted the system. Monies from seized goods auctioned to the public at so-called control prices were also lodged in the account.
When President Hilla Limann took power after the AFRC had left the scene on September 24, 1979, the new Head of State complained that there was nothing in the coffers, insinuating that the famous Account 48 could not be traced.
When Flt-Lt. Rawlings, who had refused to accept the new government’s offer to go on course abroad, was questioned on the disappearance of the huge lodgings in the account, he replied that he was not an accountant. Incidentally, the fate of PNDC Account 48, established by the second junta led by the same person, has not been accounted for as you read this piece.
One of the most interesting developments in Ghana’s political evolution was the decision to abolish the General Certificate of Examinations -Ordinary and Advanced levels- by the Provisional National Defence Council. The main reason given was that the old educational system had favoured only the children of the elite class.
At a time ordinary folks of the land were enrolling their children in what became known as the Junior and Senior Secondary schools, whose certificates -BECE and SCCE- were not recognised beyond the four corners of the country, Jerry Rawlings enrolled his children at the expensive Ghana International School in Accra to read subjects that qualified them to sit for the GCE Ordinary and the Advanced levels his PNDC administration had prohibited the mass of Ghanaian children from.
I do not believe corruption is only putting state money in one’s pocket. Exploiting state resources for one’s advantage could even be a worse form of corruption. That is why I have an axe to grind with Jerry Rawlings for enrolling all his children abroad to study with the GCE Ordinary and Advanced levels, acquired outside the formal sector in the country.
What I call Jerry’s Stupid Schools has debased education up to the tertiary level, where lottery numbers, other than real academic work, determines qualification at the first degree level.
To add insult to injury, when asked to tell Ghanaians how he was funding the education of all the three children -Ezanator, YaaAsantewaa and Kimathi- in expensive universities in Britain and Ireland, Jerry Rawlings looked at Ghanaians in the face and answered that unknown benefactors were picking up the bills for their fees.
The Almighty is a kind Lord. It emerged that companies the state of Ghana was dealing with and which were milking Ghana dry, were picking up the bills of Jerry Rawlings’ children. And such a person has the audacity to complain about leaders being corrupt.
I dare state that corruption was elevated into an art under Jerry Rawlings. The circumstances under which he transformed himself from a military dictator into a civil constitutional President smells of corruption all the way to the Castle.
After eleven and a half years of the ‘Gospel According to Jerry Rawlings,’ a period he himself identified as the ‘culture of silence’, Jerry Rawlings and those who claim to believe in him used the resources of state to convert his military oligarchy and the entire governance system into a political party. With the Electoral Commission and the entire process under his thumb, Jerry Rawlings exchanged his military garb for a description as Constitutional President of the Republic of Ghana. God Almighty should remain where he is.
The eight year administration he led, as Constitutional President of this Republic, eulogised corruption as a state-sponsored event. State asserts were transferred to cronies under the guise of divestiture. As you read this piece, Nsawam Cannery, one of the flagship projects of the now defunct Ghana Industrial Holding Corporation, belongs to Caridem, a company floated by Mrs. Rawlings’ 31st December Women’s Movement, in a purchasing agreement that parceled the company to Caridem for a pittance.
Under the Government of the National Democratic Congress Mark One, corruption festered on a large scale. It would take volumes to chronicle corruption under the NDC. But four prominent issues stand out. Getting to the end of the first term of office, newspapers that had been freed from the bondage of the culture of silence began chronicling evidence of corrupt deals by leading members of the regime.
In 1996, the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice investigated one matter and established massive corrupt deals against Ibrahim Adam, then Minister of Agriculture, Colonel E.M. Osei Owusu, a former Minister of the Interior, P.V. Obeng, a Presidential Staffer, and Dr. Adjei Marfo, a Chief Executive Officer of a state-run company.
Instead of prosecuting them, the Government of Saint Rawlings rather issued a While Paper exonerating the corrupt elements, and rather indicted the media for highlighting the issue.
In Britain, Mabey and Johnson was prosecuted not too long ago for corruptly influencing Ghanaian politicians between 1994 and 1999 to gain bridge contracts, The news in these contracts is that barely one year after completing two bridges in Ghana, including one over River Oti, the Ghana Government had to contract experts from Britain to repair them as they threatened to cave in.
In 2002, the former Managing Director of Ghana Rubber Estates Limited, Mr. Etienne Arthur Marie Popeler, told an Accra Fast Track High Court that he gave millions of dollars to Mr. Dan Abodakpi, then Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Ms. Shirley Ayittey, then Treasurer of the 31st December Women’s Movement, in bribes before his French company, SIPH, could secure GREL.
The case of Ms. Cotton, an unemployed American, secured $20 million of scarce state cash from compromised state officials, ostensibly to grow rice for Ghanaians at Aveyime in the Battor area of the Volta Region. Even when Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States had sent a warning letter about the background of Ms. Cotton, and intimating that she was incapable of undertaking the task, state officials paid the money. As it turned out, the main motivating factor was the cut they all stood to make.
If corruption is endemic in the body politic after the so-called June 4, uprising, the genesis could be traced to Jerry Rawlings who executed eight Ghanaians officials on unproven trivial charges, and out-doored full- blown corruption as a state policy.
In other exposé next week, I intend to draw the link between the free for all looting that assails the body politic in the Mills-Mahama regime, and the adventure of Jerry John Rawlings as Head of State of this Republic. I shall return!

My friend watch this Agutuba's mannerism in the courtroom carefully and you'll know what MILLIONS are seeing. By the way, NOT all the comments and opinions from the bench are expressed collectively.

Look, we want JUSTICE to prevail, and this means applying the law IMPATIALLY. Many people have made more serious comments deemed "comtemptible" including Mr John Mahama when he said the court can only affirm his presidency. This statement is even intimidating to the court so what statement needs repriamind than that?

This judge is messing up Ghana's image- this stupid trial that should last less than a month has gone on and on and on just because this incompetent judge allowed Tsatsu to spend weeks questioning about pink sheets. And then when the petitioner spends 5 days on EC, all hell broke out about wasting time. What kind of judge is this.

Instead of spending time with the case, he wakes up in the morning reading stupid papers and finding our who is criticizing them. Why does he not finish with the case and move on or is it because of per diem?

Intimidating the Nation will not work-- he needs to spend more time on the case than reading garbage. What would others say when they find out that a whole supreme court judges took time to call someone who has offered his opinion about what is going on.

What is wrong with this Justice Atugba? This man knows why he is serving warning after warning to anyone who disagrees with his shameless bias against the petitioners. He is hellbent on deciding on his part in favour of John Mahama however he is afraid of the fallout from such travesty of justice hence all these warning to frighten Ghanaians into a culture of silence. But God will judge him severely for his diabolical plans. When you have someone (John Mahama) so obsessed for power and has now started declaring himself as the Messiah by saying he has been ordained by God to rule Ghana, then Ghanaians have got a real problem on their hands.

John Mahama, Nsiah mosquito said things against the SC. Did Atuguba read what John and mosquito has been saying? or is it only Awuku.
Atuguba should wakeup and know the supreme court is not for political parties or family and friends. Its hard for Atuguba to sack his own brother and friend John Mahama. They have to leave the office of the president. We are all watching to see these pink sheets, and how many Atuguba can hide from the petitioners.

My humble advice to the nine (9) supreme court judges is that, they should bear in mind "GOD IS SUPREME" and have the prerogative authority to overrule or sustain every soul on this planet. The bible also teaches about God's supreme judgment which shall befall every person to account for is or her stewardship after death: HEB 9:27.

Don't even know why this case is being allowed to be discussed in public domain. I should assume that once a case is before the judiciary, any public domain discussion becomes "contempt of the court". Except in this case it isn't so. It's up to you the legal luminaries to educate us on this issue.

Justice William Atuguba,you have failed this test, This decision you have taken point clearly that you are taken sides. The guy said his mind, as a suprime court Jurdge you might not rule out those code of ethics in democracy. I am not giving you any benefit of the doubt which you failed persistently, however you made it look like you decended from being the university chancellor to punish a village school pupil.Your actions this time round spill the beans everywhere, and if fellow Ghanaians are to perdembulate towards your directives this time here, you could easily be exposed. I am not saying this because i love to be in a party or as a matter of fact trying to be in partisan politics. My interest would be, where all manner of citizenry ghanaians be accorded with justice to which your well being, as president of the ongoing suprime court jurdge. I wish my submission would be given a fair thought, devoid of being chassed by fire and brimstons. Iam done. Daniel Asare,Hannover.

What do you expect from people,if 6 months after disputed election results,the Supreme Court can`t make a ruling?Aren`t you conversant with the rules governing our elections?Just emulate the USA and Kenya, which faced the same problem but wasted no time in making a ruling!You are just wasting too much time to rule and our country is economically sinking daily!Why can`t you warn Mahama and others, whose utterances may lead to chaos after your ruling?Don`t practice selective justice!Why behave as if you are from another planet?Don`t you understand that the delay in your ruling is destroying our economy?Wake up,Judges and act!

you have bite wrongly. If you want people to respect and your panell of judges, do the right thing to all and sundry who goes against the SC on this case in progress.
You have already shown your bias attitude in the case.

Justice Atuguba should note that Anita De Soso made a remark "nothing good will come out of this case in the supreme court" and also John Dramani Mahamah also commented that he has won this case. Why should he win the case in court which has not yet been judged. He has given impressions to he public that there is something in pipeline for him in advance. Ghanaians want nothing but the truth. That is all, whether you can bite or not.

You Atuguba has no moral authority to lecture anyone about right and wrong since you do not abide by basic judicial ethics and canons which prohibits a judge from sitting on a case if it would present an appearance of partiality . Your nephew is the executive secretary to the president, a respondent in the case, and yet you have not had the decency to recuse yourself. Shame on you and take the speck out of your own eye before you admonish someone about theirs.

Mr. Justice Chairman, it took the Kenyan SC days to give justice to the people of Kenya, not months. The court did not allow itself to be taken on filibuster joy ride by a "Tsikata", nor allowed nonsense from an "Aseidu Nkatia". No, it had a job to do for Kenya and it proved its worth. What example, Mr. Justice Chairman, have you taken from the Kenyan experience? If all those Justices were imported from Kenya to adjudicate on this matter, the people of Ghana would have had their peace of mind by now and know their votes were worthwhile.
Shame to the partisan Supreme Court of Ghana. No need to continue with the case. It's a sham, waste of taxpayers’ money. NDC is almost in the mid of its term. Don't mention Kenya again because this sham court is no near the professional Court of Kenya. Shame to the Supreme Court of Ghana, shame to the NDC! Too assumed book knowledge in the Ghanaian Bar, has been the bane of the nation. It’s being evidenced in this war of muddy brains at , and in the Court.

I support the Supreme Court on contempt speech to intimidate the Judges on the panel. To say that if they rule infavour of Nana Addo there will civil war or coup is subversive and these people must be brought to court to clarify their statements.
