  "All who mean well for Ghana, irrespective of the political colour you wear, should applaud the Supreme Court for its decision on this day as the impunity, arrogance and the propaganda are becoming unbearable for us as a country. Individuals who think they are bigger than the state must be dealt with appropriately to protect the sanctity and security of the state as the consequences of their utterances would be too much a price to pay. Ghana is not a lawless society and those who seek to make as such must be dealt with according to the laws of the laws of the land."
  This country is fast degenarting into a lawless state and discipline must be intilled.

  Do we as a country need to be protected from free speech. That is to say, can we the people not tell the difference between the truth and lies? A statement made in the news paper or outside of court should not cause the court any concern. Of course there is a responsibility that comes with free speech, one can not go into a crowded movie house and yell fire, that is unlawful. What law was broken by any of those hauled before the court? Cannot we the average Ghanaian be trusted to make an intelligent decision concerning the statements of our fellow citizens?
  Do I need to say what you want me to, to have freedom of speech?
