What this so-called Former Attoney General of Kentucky is saying is that NPP's Georgina Wood should have engaged in a quid pro que by returning the favor that Kuffuor/NPP did by bypassing Senior Justices of the SC and made her the CJ. Dr. Boateng, Mrs. Wood has returned the favor already; she covered up their NPP's cocain deals in the MV Benjamin missing 77 pacels of cocaine and there is no more she can do. Can you imagine this Dr. Boateng guy being an AG in NPP government? He will only cut corners in jailing NDC operatives as we got to know from Atta Akyea. What a shameless bunch.

I don't share your hunger one bit because the NDC has ensured that all your avenues to traffic narcotics are blocked, hence crying like a baby that you are; get a life, sucker.

Me, I did not even bother to read the article, because I knew why this guy is now turning against the Chief Justice. He would come back and blame the other judges. But what would have been the difference if Chief Justice had replaced Atuguba. Would she had forced Atuguba to vote against his will? Or, is she saying that Atuguba forced all those Supreme Court Judges that kufuor appointed?
Instead of NPP moving on and find ways to win the next election, they are still talking flogging a dead horse.

This perceptions of some Ghanaians must stop. We find it very difficult to accept defeat,Why? The reason is that these people do not believe in reality. One thing Ghanaians must learn is that which the Akans say, "Ankwer3 hunu 3na 3y3 d3d3" literally meaning, "The empty barrel makes the most noise." I know some of Nana's supporters may not agree with me but this is the gospel truth: Ghanaians don't like Nana-(to become the President of Ghana) Inasmuch as I do not want to list the reasons for Ghanains, the fact stills remains as I have said(Most Ghanaians disapproves of Nana's Presidency). I wondered why NPP did not go to Court in 2008 to challenge 43000 votes difference? As my friend, an NPP supporter explained; 'With Atta Mills it was okay, but with Mahama, it is not possible" Why? Because )y3 )tani!? (meaning from the "North") Listen to this! It will interest Ghanaians to note that Prez Mahama has become more popular than the Late Prez Atta Mills(may his soul rest in peace) as at going to the polls in 2012 compared to 2008. Late Prez Mills took more than 8 years to campaign before he was able to beat Nana Addo with only 43000 votes. Prez Mahama, on the other hand, used only April-December 2012) barely eight months to talk to Ghanaians but came up with more than 300000 votes! Honestly, I do not hate Nana Addo for any reason, if he happens to be the Flag Bearer to face Prez Mahama again in 2016; "Aberewa b3ka nokware" it shall be disastrous for Nana. Ghanaians must let the Supreme Court Ruling go by in peace so that we can forge ahead for the Future as a Nation for every defeat is a defeat- they are all equally painful but they don't kill. Ghana shall always be Ghana. Let us learn to accept painful defeats.

Your title may sound grandiose but as we all know African JD's in the US are all calling themselves Dr instead of the proper designation esq.Since the system in America is different from our jurisdiction you may not understand why this CJ abstained from sitting on this case.You may need a tutorial on that to understand why.
What difference do you think the CJ will bring to the panel other than further politicization of the composition.In terms of experience and seniority on the bench some of the panellist were her senior.Having been appointed by Koffour ahead of her seniors and having married a known sympathizer from the npp circles,she took the right decision. otherwise it will be too glaring that there is something wrong with the composition.
There were six appointees of Kuffour on that panel of nine in addition to her there would have been seven in a case that should be seen to be above board.Justice they say must not only be done but it must be seen to be done and so they appearance of bias would have been too obvious if she were on the panel.
As for the eccentric weird professor the least said about him the better because he has no credibility at all.He is a fanatic of the npp which had beclouded his sense of judgement and therefore makes no sensible contribution to the debate.As an assistant at the AG office you should know and understand contempt of court breaches and what constitutes them.The proper procedure was as well followed here and there were no procedural problems.
The Atuguda panel had performed creditably and it will be silly to denigrate their efforts because of political expedience.The petition is over so lets be balance and objective in our criticism.

I have always maintained that the travesty of justice meted out to the petitioners by Justice Atugba and some of his colleagues with warped, prejudiced and intolerable dispositions must be blamed squarely on Chief Justice Georgina Wood. As soon as the NDC came to power in 2008, one of their first agenda was to discredit the Chief Justice by vilification, insults and openly calling for her resignation. It appears that NDC strategy worked as the Chief Justice appears to have been petrified into pusillanimity,timidity and reticence. She is now being manipulated by the NDC.
A word from the grapevine tells me that she has a close relative married to NPP man hence the decision to excuse herself in the case because of likely accusation from the NDC. Even if that were true does she have to appoint Justice Atugba as the president of the court since he also has a nephew working at John Mahama's office?

From humiliating people for so-called criminal contempt to shouting, turning civil procedure rules upside down, poor case-management, lack of ICT skills, inordinate delay and time-wasting on the day of the verdict, etc. it is obvious that we need a judicial appointments commission.
Madam CJ, we are waiting for your response. If you decided you had a conflict of interest and recused yourself, then Atuguba JSC should have done the same, on the grounds of conflict of interest and lack of impartiality. That is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. His nephew Raymond Atuguba is Mahama's executive secretary. He has already given us an insight into how corrupt the judiciary is, having lived with his uncle and observed gargantuan bribes flowing regularly.

I know this man in the USA. He always comes to Obimanso Radio in Atlanta, Georgia and talk trash on the radio. He initially starts as an independant citizen and ends up with his trash colors and talk.

Listen another sixth form law student. Not even a 'kokompey' or 'agbase' lawyer. Oh could he be an attorney for dog-chain boys? Wo te ablotsiri eka nyame sem' . im gro fuuu im no get sense!!!. What a load of rubbish. I am not at all surprise this piece has been written by Dr Agyenim Boateng, a one-way scholar. Sadly, like his insignificant group he likes to make unintelligent comparison eg apples to mangoes or alungutungu to guava! Dr Boateng must at least display a better level of intelligent and intellectual argument or opinion.

Superb article. Time for reform of judicial appointments in Ghana. The whole world has seen the flaws, bias and prejudices of Atuguba & our justice system. From humiliating people for so-called criminal contempt to shouting, turning civil procedure rules upside down, poor case-management, lack of ICT skills, inordinate delay and time-wasting on the day of the verdict, etc. it is obvious that we need a judicial appointments commission.
Madam CJ, we are waiting for your response. If you decided you had a conflict of interest and recused yourself, then Atuguba JSC should have done the same, on the grounds of conflict of interest and lack of impartiality. That is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. His nephew Raymond Atuguba is Mahama's executive secretary. He has already given us an insight into how corrupt the judiciary is, having lived with his uncle and observed gargantuan bribes flowing regularly.
Justice appears to be for sale to the highest bidder.

You are right. She is the head of the Supreme Court and should take charge of the important issues that come before the court. I was so shocked she was not the head of the panel. Only in Ghana.

So far as I am concerned,if you are not an MD or a PhD, you do not deserve to call yourself Dr. So Mr. Boateng, which one are you, JD, RhD.
Little mind. JD means Juris Doctor.
Whether the Chief Justice sat on the case or not, there is no evidence of misapplication of the law in the adjudication of the case. Is Agyenim Boateng saying that all the Honorable Justices were incompetent in their ruling?
But you see as the other party did not win the case hence this situation of every tom, dick, and harry is writing about the wrong verdict. This is all over what we need is about the way forward for our country mother Ghana. ...

Remember Atuguba stood as a parliamentary candidate on the NPP ticket in 1992 General elections.
Justice ATUGUBA is the # 1 Jurge in Ghana, he says the TRUTH. Go away with you skin pain npp all die be die and u go DIEOOOooooooo

Not sure you are a lawyer.On the hand if you are then obviously your are a good lawyer.

People like you write if you have not been to class one. You an apology to your academic mentor. Think before you write.
