    We must all not forget our Legal Luminary and Lecturer at Law for exposing NPP's Own Irregularities by opting for the Pink Sheets to be counted.

    Anthing the NPP does not like goes into tribal insult. Then you turn round to say Ewes do not like Akans . Can you think for a second ?

  • SGT ANANI FIADZOE 10 years ago

    NPP selected problems in JM's strongholds and carefully left out exactly similar cases in Nana's strongholds. That is very bad faith!!!!

    But I don't blame Nana for it is the marijuana ringing in his ears that he won by 58% ...

    Actually, cases and proceedings at the Supreme Court MUST be closed to the general public. ONLY the legal team representing the case must be in the court. The court was at fault for making taking the case to TV for the viewin ...

    Yours is a very good contribution to the conversation. Good ideas to curtail this nonsense going on in the country.

  • ROGUE LAWYER 10 years ago

    you are totaly wrong-the telecast of the preceedings had watered down the political Tension that rosed in the Country- i was in the begining thinking the same way you thought but on the second look CJ did a good job-

    Absolutely right, my dear! Pandering to the whims of a few noisy but partisan forces was never going to be in the public interest, as is being shown to be the case. I always felt that that the CJ made a wrong judgement call o ...

  • Prof Lungu 10 years ago

    Yes, there are Subject Slaves, and there are Autocrats, if we all allow! Seems to us, today, Dr. Bokor is ready to allow. He tells us he knows how to navigate.

    He even may be pandering!

    We aren't!

    We won't!

    It is unfortunate that lawyers do not recognize how important a Judge or the SC for that matter can use its powers. We either respect the law of the court or go Rawlings' way.

    Well written and freedom of speech is not fre ...

    Sure, your freedom ends at the tip of another persons nose. Man Pass Man means you don't have the right to misbehave. It is strange that right thinking people like Bokor are not praising what SC has done. I think this must co ...

    Until this is applied across the country, the law will continue to be an ASS. Man pass man is selective justice, meaning different strokes for different folks.

  • Kwobia (Torono) 10 years ago

    The SC took too long to assert itself,but then,may be it has been for the better.

  • princewilly@ymail.com 10 years ago

    It was the week before thanksgiving. Little Tommy had a nightmare, and went up to his parents room, found them having sex, and heard, "oh, yes, suck my c*ock!" and "yes, baby, yes! Lick my titties!" He asked his parents what ...

    Shame on you. What happened to your Justice Kpegah nonsense? Did "man pass man" on that issue?

  • PIGETUM 10 years ago

    I am for decent language and respect for the SC judges.But how many us have also examined or considered whether there is any iota of truth in what Awuku said.Obviously,the language is important but the substance is even more ...

  • Paul Amuna 10 years ago

    The substance of what Awuku and others have said is perhaps more important than even the foul language used. People seem to be ignoring that aspect. In my opinion, Awuku's comments apart from being insulting, were also way of ...

    But for this move by the honourable court, I never would have known that Awuku and Ken Kuranchie,(aka nose)are just pet dogs.I thought they are men with two balls in between their legs! From the very moment things started fal ...

    That foul-mouth Ndc surrogate Bokor has the audacity to party over Awuku's gaggin is simply amusing. Next in line must be Bokor, the coward Margaret Jackson, Pryce, Informer, Al Hajj, Lens and the list goes on. Bokor start pr ...

    We agree!

    How much should we care to Atuguba's personal hurt feelings?

  • Prof Lungu 10 years ago

    You cannot be serious this time, Dr. Michael J.K. Bokor!

    You may know how to navigate as far as this Supreme Court goes. But wait for the "next" Supreme Court.

    What the court is doing is anti-democratic. It is dangerous ...

    Prof Lungu we need the truth. The SC is like a referee and if we start criticizing the referee we will fight over the final result. These people have been mind preparing their supporters for violence. Prof did you live during ...

    We hear you, Kojo T.

    But nice try!

    A publicly-funded judge ought to be able to take criticisms, even those without value. And it should not affect their work.

    Yes Michael J.K. Bokor, one can only comment on an ongoing case after judgement has been given, not when the case is in the middle of being heard. It's rather quite amazing that a lot of these self anointed, loudmouth legal l ...

    Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to make loose and inflammatory comments. Freedom of speech comes with responsibility.

  • Whatever 10 years ago

    As for the whip, it must be cracked and its long overdue. The 3 people who sent the petition are not even talking byheart like the way their minions are doing.

  • Omanba, Chicago, IL 10 years ago

    The truth is, the Supreme Court is using all these tricks to to silence its critics so that they can execute their biased agenda in favor of the NDC.

  • CONCERNED GHANAIANS 10 years ago

    If one has reason to feel that the SC is being biased, be that person right or wrong, doesn't he/she have the right to say it? It is better to encourage Sammy Awuku to give reasons for his statement and that such would help t ...
