Have the Supreme Court Judges also Joined President Mahama in London?

Rumours are rife on the London-based Ghanaian (radio) airwaves that some of the judges sitting on Election 2012 case pending in the Supreme Court have come to London. Some opine that the judges have come here to arrange for some money, bribery money of course, to be transferred into their bank accounts by possibly, the "Edey bii keke" President.

I do not believe these rumours about the judges or some of them come over to Britain on dubious mission. However, there is the slightest truth in every rumour. Be that as it may, who among the nine judges have come to London and for what reason?

If they have come at all, it may be to consult with their brainy White contemporaries for professional advice on how best to extricate themselves from the looming quagmire. They have only to tell the truth and ensure nothing, but absolute justice prevails. There would not be the need for coming over to London for whatsoever reason if they were going to be honest with themselves and with the Ghanaian public by basing their verdict on nothing but the credible proofs and witness statements placed before them.

Should they choose to be economical with the truth, be influenced by dubious persons promising them money and favours, then they will eventually have themselves to blame should things go sour. Their reputation is on the line so they had better take notice.

Would a Good Samaritan please check the airlines' manifest at Kotoka Airport to confirm if indeed some of the judges have travelled outside Ghana since the close of their last sitting on Thursday, 14 June 2013?

Anyway, I will not dwell on this story of which I have no proof even though some radio phone-in callers are uttering with vociferation how credible their assertion is.

I assure all and sundry that as long as the whole world is watching the court proceedings live on television and on the internet, there is nothing dubious the judges can do but to let justice prevail according as ascertained by the evidential documents in front of them. It could have been a different story if there was no live telecast of the court sittings.

The judges, whoever they are, are welcome to London. However, they are expected to be law-abiding visitors without engaging in any fraudulent activities as alleged on air. I personally believe they are not in London but in Ghana. Anyway, I have by this write-up attempted to assuage the fears of those that think the judges are in London and are on a questionable mission.

I dedicate this article to Kofi Basoah and his younger brother Kwaku Burger of Asante-Juaben.
