I don't see anything wrong with what the Nacob Boss has said. Someone has jumped bail in a foreign country, in fact a country that is more developed than Ghana. Instead of securing him, you release him bail. If he escapes from the country what are you, judges going to do? What he said is the plain truth and your condemning him is unfair.

Leave Akrasi alone and probe the Judges involved,moreover Interpol must be informed to seriously deal with the case considering the world-wide notoriety of the accused.

How can a comment of a judgement being unfortunate be contempt of court? Prime Ministers and ministers here in the UK always make such statements when governments lose cases in court. What is insane and judicial madness is the conviction of a journalist who reported Akrasi-Sarpong's comment. How can that be contempt of court? What happened to free media in Ghana? Where is the Ghana Journalist Association?

This judge is a disgrace and both Akrasi and the journalist should appeal the decision because it is wrong in law and potentially unconstitutional.

No matter how crazy and bad Akrasi used to be, look critically at what he said. The accused Nigerians are not saints, let alone nice people with good intentions for Ghana. If Akrasi had evidence that these Nigerians were criminals, the judge should have seriously considered what he said. I really don't understand the basis upon which the judge granted the bail, but the story of the case required a critical look that favors Akrasi's point of view. There are some Nigerians who are very dangerous wherever they go, and can create seriously toxic environment. What is happening in South Africa now, with the hate for immigrants can partly be blamed on some Nigerians. There are other Nigerians who are hard working, who are looking for a peaceful place to earn a genuine life for the family, just like any immigrant. But the bad apples among them do make life unbearable for everyone else. Ghanaians should use common sense in cases like this. Otherwise we will find ourselves to blame. A lot of the genuine Nigerians have giving up hope for their country because of the few apples who are dangerously toxic. I lived with them, and know what they can do and undo. Gradually they are seeping into Ghana, and if Ghanaians fail to open their eyes it won't take long for Ghana to sink into serious societal problems.

1. It is not clear if the prosecution opposed bail to the accused, the drug dealer. But 1. given that the accused is a known drug dealer, the prosecution should have relied on his notoriety in drug dealings and 2. he is a wanted man for drug related crimes, and 3. his propensity or likelihood to jump bail, as the basis for opposing same (bail). But we don't know that.
If indeed, the prosecution raised an objection of granting bail to the accused, and submitted those aggravating factors as the basis, then the judge should have considered those factors. But again, we don't know.

But if that was the case, that the prsecution objected bail to the accused because he was deemed a flight risk but the judge ignored those factors and granted bail, thereby creating the possibility of the accused not availing himself for prosecution, then the judge erred by not considering those aggravating factors in granting bail to the accused.

For that reason. Mr Sarpong's comments are fair. At worse it is a critical observation on the bail decision which did not consider aggravating factors. His comments do not rise to contempt in a any democratic society; and I believe Ghana is one.
What also beats me is why the accused lawyer was the one who brought contempt charges against Mr. Sarpong ? Unless I misread the story, it s sounds very bizarre to me. The accused couldn't have, and shouldn't have brought criminal charges against Mr. Sarpong, who commented on his criminal activities and its consequent impact on the welfare of the general public.

As for the accussed's lawyer's argument that the comment would impact the decision of the judge is as bizzare as he bring criminal charges, not civil, against Mr. Sarpong. The whole thing conflated criminal and civil procedures.

Be it so, is the defence lawyer, by his assertion that Mr. Sarpong's comment would affect dispensation of justice, not an indictment of the judiacial system and lack of confidence in the seating judge's indepedent reasoning (unless it is a jury trial and probably the accused past criminal activities are not admissible) and suggestion of impairment of due process, not akin to Mr. Sarpong's comment which was imputed to him as being contemptous? Maybe, the defence lawyer should be cited for contempt too, this time by someone who has the legal standing to do so.

IIn any case, I honestly disagree that Mr Sarpong's comment was meant to 'derogate the authority' of the court, as per the presiding judge. Judgments and court decisions are landmines for legal and lay commentaries in democratic societies. They are not immune to critical analysis and comments. I'm truly dumbfounded by the whole drama, but I'm sure the court has absolutely nothing to fear from Mr. Sarpong's comment and shouldn't have entertained the charges of contempt brought by some one who lacks standing or is not in a position to do so. I REST.

Besides the legalities, sometimes, I believe, if judges can temper justice with mercy they should be able temper justice with common sense. A case in point is that of the adjudication of Ghana's presidential election litigation before the swearing-in. The supreme court, though was following the constitution, its delayed action, could have contributed to a possible chaotic situation in the country that might have led to civil disturbance if not war. Kenyan supreme court was in similar, if not same, situation in an election year that led to chaos and, if you may, a civil war with some deaths and injured citizens. They got it right the next time when the court forced the complainants and the defendants to work around the clock within a week or a little more to ague their cases. The judges gave verdict/ruling but deferred giving details of the ruling, that allowed the swearing-in or the inauguration to proceed at the constitutional time frame. Common sense then prevailed. I wish the judge in this case would have applied some common sense. I'm a novice when it comes to judicial matters, but I can assure the judge that if these criminals jump bail his career will be in danger. In fact I am horrified by his judgement that raises a big eye brows.

Mr. Sarpong should appeal this stupid sentence and conviction. How on earth can this happen? Those judges should be investigated. Nowhere in the world, where a fair and just legal system abounds can a man who is caught with a stash of illegal and controlled substance like cocaine, allowed to go on bail. This is crazy. And he turns around sues Mr. Sarpong for his comments that the bail was not proper. And wins! Oh my! If I was Mr. Sarpong I would have been even more vociferous.
How much were these judges paid and where is the cocaine smuggler today? Remember this smuggler had jumped bail before in Brazil, so what is to say it will not happen in GH? I am saddened.

I thought our judges would learn some lessons and change for the better. The decision to convict Mr Akrasi Sarpong and the Graphic journalist is to say the least regretable. In which country in the world would a drug peddler be allowed to sue the head of the government agency on narcotics? Was Mr Sarpong not right to criticize the court's decision to grant him bail? Whatis the course of delay? Why hasn't the court ruled on the case? Look at how the British Authorities treated the Nayele case. It did not take more than a forthnight to decide.I think the judge must be investigated and sanctioned. This is corruption at the highest level. I think the state must intervene and send the Nigerian back to custody. he should be jailed for a very long period if found guilty. A sentence of not less than 40yrs in jail will be appropriate. It is about time the Ghanaian courts show to the whole world that they are not corrupt.

Who says corruption in ghana is going to be a thing of the past ? A patriotic ghanaian been convicted to delightful nigerian drug barons ? Among all the useless black race, ghanaians are the most useless and that is why our daughters's eyes are been shoved into blenders full of hot fresh pepper by donkeys like Lebanese who come to ghana in search for better life but ends up abusing the ghanaian hospitality. If even intellectuals are selling their birth rights for ordinary goat meat, what do you expect the truck pusher to do ? Ghana is a hub for narcotics and prostitution but what annoys me most is the bigwigs in the narcotics business. Most of them are Nigerians who are politically connected. Where did Akrasi Sarpong go wrong ? For not taking bribe from these two nigerian drug kingpins ? Lord have mercy upon our goat meat judges. I am even ashamed to be a ghanaian because of this particular disgraceful conviction of a patriotic citizen. Eh! Oman ghana! Why ooooooooh, why! Why are we cursed with goat meat ? These nigerians knows that the weak point of ghanaians is goat meat and that is why they keep coming in large numbers to do their nefarious businesses in ghana. We are so politically divided that foreigners are taking advantage of it. What is the president saying about Akrasi Sarpong's conviction if he really means to fight corruption ? I hope some of the goat meat is not finding its way to the flagstaff house. Hmmmm! I am praying for the day God will cure ghanaians from the goat meat syndrome as politicians are also affected. I am going to start fasting for 45 days to help cure our judges of their goat meat madness.

Yaw Akrasi Sarpong, this is one of your school mates in the school mr Turkson used the slogan; "... is a school". Fill in tne blank for me. I am suggesting three prong approach to your dileman as per below:
1) take your contempt case to a higher court to have the judicial activist judge's sentence reviewed.
2) Talk to Joe Case aka Joseph Ayikoh Otoo, your year group or mate in Sekondi for a legal advice and also seek Martin Amidu's opinion on the judge's attempt to muzzle free speech using his court as an assult weapon on the individual and freedom rights in Ghana.
3) Yaw i Igp and Founder of tbe Society For Prevention of Corruption and Cruelty Against Ghana & Africa (SPCCAG & African) urge you to form an Anti-Drug Foundation, which aim will be to ensure and fight menancing hard drugs capable of deatroying our youth in Ghana
We will not allow the removal of one corrupt regime to be replaced by any other form which is lient on drug proliferation in our country. Evil is evil. Naa Aryelee was not granted a police or bench enquiry bail in Lonfon and her assets are on the chop board for phifa and possible auction or given to the state. Yaw, its possible we did not saw eye to eye on every student issues while on campus in Sekondu, but this one "dei, am behind you in full support." Let say no to judicial activism, no in Ghana.
Further, its a long time i read sections of the Ghana criminal code Act, yet, i think you have a good case to lodge a complaint to the Gt. Accra Bar Association, the Ghana Bsr Associstion and the Ghana Judicial Service Association. Additionally, lodge a complaint to National House of chiefs. The Cathplic Bishops Conference, the Ghana Penticostal Council and the Chrismatic Bishops Conference to protest and complain about the Judge's unorthodox ruling on the police or bench bail to the criminal Nigerian drug pedlers who have invadeed our shores and using Ghana as a drug transient point. Oman Ghana, us all citizens of this beautiful country will have to rise up to defend our good elements as a society others are colluding with foreignets to abuse. Oman Ghana arise and be heard. Speak out in defense of common sense approah to dtopping drugs infilteration into Ghana. Yaw Akrasi Sarpong, like any Ghanaian every where you have an individual liberty, granted by God, not man, to freely comment on a post ruling court case. Its opinion, the judge might not like it , but that is your right as a citizen of Ghana. Question the judge's temperament, his judgement and appeal against his contemptious sentencing of your good self. We can not allow any single judge in Ghana to hide behind the cloak of socalled contempt to silence ondividuals into submission. You have a right to launch a massive judiciary inquiry into the jidge's behavior. Take your case to the next court to appeal against your sentencing as a former and immediate past anti drug boss. Also link up the USA DEA agencies to make sure the judge is placed under watch for suspicious ruling. Why did it have to take well over three years to grant bail to the alleged criminals and drug pushers from the Nigerians in this case? Yaw, you have a good case and i urge you to talk to Joe Case, Martin Amidu for legal opinions.
Oman Ghana, say no to judicial activism on the bench. This is a test case law students should study. Yaw, this is not about partisanship, you are a Ghanaian first and party second. We will have to defy corrupt judges even if it means going to jail. SPCCAG & Africa is in full support of you. Akrasi, i urge you as a matter of priciple to throw your hat into the ndc presidential primaries if opened next time. Continue your push against illelicit drugs everywhere and anywhere in Ghana. Life after government is better put to use by forming an advocasy instution, agency for the purpose stated above. Ask the USAID in Ghana, DEA and British anti narco groups for help to run such anti drug agency in Ghana. Ghana osee ye, ye, ye. Yaw Akrasi Sarpong, osee ye, ye, ye. Good luck Yaw in pursuit of justice for Ghana. The judge should embrace himself for possible inquiry of office abuse. He could be impeached by parliament if proven that was biase.

How could this Judge grant bail to a notorious criminal who has been on the run for many years, a fugitive from justice? Our judges should bow their heads down in shame for instead of using the opportunity to reclaim a lost image they prefer to drag it further into the mud. Even a day old baby knows money influenced the Judge's decision to grant the fugitive from justice some respite. The judiciary must be purged of these unscrupulous judges otherwise lawlessness will become more attractive to criminal minded elements of society. There's crime everywhere in the world but in what we refer to as the developed world criminals are subjected to the rule of law and often punished as the law demands whenever their crimes are thoroughly investigated and are found guilty. Anas Amereyaw's landmark investigation into the activities of judges in the criminal justice system has all been in vain.

The Atty Genral should not alow the Akuffo Addo government to be tainted with such ruling. Go to court in defense of Yaw Akrasi Sarpong and Ghana to have his sentence over turned and quashed. We can not be our own enemies while foreignets take the low road i. Our justice system. The judge has a lot to answer for his miscarriage of justice.. Akrasi is a good man. Free Sarpong and lets investigate this judge. This is a clear case of raw justice metted to a Ghanaian patriot, Yaw Akrssi Sarpong.

How can you find someone in contempt for making that small statement. This judge know what he is doing and should be ashamed of himself. He should note that Ghanains are watching.
