NPP Voodoo Professor, how many electoral faxjack machine did you manufacture in Dzorwulu today?
Thank you, Mr. Asare. It seems Atuguba does not understand democracy and the earlier someone responds to his barbaric act the better for us. We are not ready to go back into a state of silence as happened some years ago when ...

THIS THE SAME JJ PNDC COURT WHICH TRIED FORMER HEADS OF STATES IN 3 DAYS AND MURDERED THEM THE 4TH DAY, COURT OF NO CHALLENGE
See how idiots you can be! You have no case and yet want to create chaos in the country. Dare and you will all see where power lies. Idiots.
He writes
"In the end, the Justices will be respected not because they have the power to throw us in jail but because of the power of their reasoning and timely resolution of disputes before them."
How can one resolve any ...

Anyone can comment on decisions of the court. But Awuku was disparaging the court--when the court is in the process of coming out with a decision/verdict.
Awuku is not a neutral Ghanaian observer/ He has been attending th ...

Thanks, Wiafe. In addition, this article qoutes dicta from Lord Denning and other justices which end up vindicating the view that comments on judicial decisions should be fair and/or made faithfully. The entire article reveal ...

Azar, how are you and are you back?
Though I wish the Justices had not subjected Awuku to what happened in court yesterday, I beg to differ with you regrading freedom of speech and the allegation of intimidation by the Justi ...

My point exactly. Thanks for putting it so clearly

In civilized jurisdictions, a distinction is made between trial by judge and trial by jury. It is commonly assumed that jurors need to be protected from commentary while the case is ongoing. If so, the solution is ...

Kakraba wu maame twe kankan wati. If your brains can not comprehend what Asare wrote that's your fault. Besides Asare didn't write this article for English in a master's degree program so shut the fuck up. His concern and mes ...

Prof
Thank you for being on the side of reason.
I was in Accra over the weekend. Justice Atuguba,s warning was being replayed in the taxi on my way from the Airport. At the mention of the Daily Guide, the taxi driver said ...

Asante/Akyem party of stupid pathetic "educated" IDIOTS. Why don't you use Asantehene drug money to form your kingdom of ILLUSION?
Thank you. Are you married? If not, my sister is all yours.
We need people like you to stand up for us.
My friend is married to my former boss's daughter. It's too late.
Has the judiciary taken over from the military where citizens mouth could be zipped by order and rain threats and intimidations on poor hungry ghanaians? This reminds me of the olden days when soldiers commanded us to sleep ...

When war breaks out will you live to see its so called benefits?
Where do you want this war to be fought? Fight in your home and see what remains of it. Leave Ghana alone, you blood thirsty b.....
Did you understand what he wrote? Some of you just have a computerbut cannot use your brains
Please if you did not hear what sammy awuku said then ask peace fm to send you a copy of the tape and stop this folish propaganda.
Does it matter what he said? Are the Justices some Gods or what?
I can bet my last dime that Atuguba is leading Ghana to a civil war. He is so biased he refuses to see the mess he's created. This case before the supreme court could have been resolved by one of our traditional chiefs in one ...

Kwaku,
You are right about the selectivty of the court's reaction. In fact, it lost control right at the beginning when people like Asiedu Nketia, Sir John, Sammy Awuku and some newspaper editors and commentators were given ...

This article should be read by all Ghanaians. Atuguba is behaving like a monarch.
You can only hid in a foreign country and write this rubbish and posted it on Ghana web. If you have the balls come down write the article in Ghanaian paper.
The concept of contempt was established at common law as "an act or omission calculated to interfere with the administration of justice". The common law is still the starting point for determining what constitutes a contempt, ...

I fault Georgina Woods for delegating her responsibilities to this biased moron atuguba to have the chance to act like GOD. The npp also chicken out during their initial protest of this fool being made the presiding judge
Awuku knows exactly what he intended his speech to evoke--malice against the judges. Awuku is an NPP paid for firebrand--and so whatever he says is to chamapion NPP's cause.
I am sad Asare wants to clad Awuku in the Ghana ...
