There is a place where you can be sure that you would find a representative (MP) from every part of Ghana year round gathered together to deliberate on the future and the current state of this country. Where is that? Parliament house of course. If there is such a place then how should the place and the people there be treated in the scheme of things? What priority should such a house be given in the governance of the country? If there is such a place then what kind of people should we send there and how should we assess their performance?

Parliament must also provide a readily available renovated residence in Sakumono to a newly elected parliamentarian. Accommodation in Accra/Tema is expensive and not every MP-elect may have the money to rent a house as he or she may have exhausted his or her funds running for office.

Oye litur should get the credit for bribing the judges. I didn't know much about this tsikata guy until i listened to the trial. I kept waiting for moments of brilliance from him but it never came. His performance was full of bullu bullu moments. I bet you this man must have used black magic to pass his exams and power his career. He has no charm so you can't even say he charmed his way. He is ugly so you can't say he used his looks. It must be the agbala

Tsatsu, the election petition did you more harm than good. Before the start of the petition, Tsatsu Tsikata was a myth in Ghanaian politics and legal system, but your antics throughout the hearings damaged that reputation.
If you were truthful to yourself, you would admit that the millions you may have earned from the case were worthless. You have been totally undone.
Please, the less we hear about this case, especially coming from you, the better. You were a failure. As a professor of law, are you not ashamed at Atuguba's judgement? How are you going to represent this case as a precedent to your students? Wise up!

The fact still remains that he performed creditably and Dr. Bawumia himself will surely testify to that if he questioned on the performance of Tsatsu during the 2012 election petition hearing. At a point, Dr. Bawumia became so confused and all he could say was YOU AND I WERE NOT THERE.It is only jealous minds who will say that Tsatsu is not a good and brilliant lawyer.
I also believe, and I know that maybe the media might have misquoted Tsatsu. He is a very good lawyer and there are also a good number of brilliant Lawyers in the NDC , certainly NDC cannot have so many lead counsels. It is only one that must lead. WELL DONE TSATSU, TONY LITHUR AND THE ENTIRE LEGAL TEAM OF THE NDC.

Ha ha ha - Yesterday he was jealous that others were getting all the credits even in their defeat. Today he is announcing that he was the best foot - even with a criminal record.

PLEASE - Can someone give the man some flowers, an accolade or car boot load of fresh food from the farm. Otherwise all his work has been for nothing. He wants to be honoured. PLEASE do it quick so he can be quiet.
On the other hand, if he gets one, will he keep quiet?

The outcome of the wrong verdict is what Ghanaians are experiencing now.Any investors who watched the trail on TV and saw how the judgment went will never come to Ghana and invest. All those who wish to invest in Ghana are seriously waiting for 2016 Election. I assure all Ghanaians that if the seat of Gov't changes hands to Nana Akuffo Addo, all meaningful Ghanaians will see and believe what I am saying. Put all the suffering Ghanaians are going through to Judge Atuguba. If Atuguba wanted to do the right thing the trail should not have gone beyond 3 months. When the NDC started to bargain with Atuguba what he wishes to collect; in order to prolong the trail so that he can settled down with them; he suggested to the NDC lawyers to fight for the counting of the papers which to any person with legal brains will tell you that it was unnecessary.
I am sure Atuguba still feels guilty of what he did in the land mark election case of the century.
This position Atuguba took has mired his reputation and it will be a great mark on his dignity forever.
For Tsatsu it was a case in which he disgraced himself.
