I did my utmost not to waste my time following and commenting on this foolish case from its very beginning. But since it seems almost all [on the petitioners' sides, btw] have lost their senses, let me intervene.

As some of us rightly said from the very start [and that includes some astute NPP supporters], it was a frivolous case without merit. We expected a 9-0 decision against all the reliefs sought. Tsatsu, expecting such a similar decision, was simply trying to explain why some of the justices granted some of the petitioners porous reliefs when there are clearly no merit to them. The obvious explanation he adduced was the political leaning of some of the judges, and picked on Justice Anim-Yeboah, who he claimed has a record of taking decisions based on his political leaning. Yes, that's serious accusation indeed and rightfully deserves public perusal. Was Tsatsu wrong or right in his observation? He just came out to defend himself again, claiming he only spoke the truth. Anyway, anyone who wants to charge him for contempt of court is welcomed to, but wait a moment!

Commenting on how and why judges of the SC of the US voted a certain way is part of the legal scholarship and devt in that civilised nation. In fact, before a judge is appointed, he/she is perused extensively in the media and Congress about ideological leaning - whether liberal (Democrat) or conservative (Repub), earlier judgements on certain controversial issues, etc. This is repeated anytime a controversial case is before the SC. Nobody is charged with contempt for doing that! Can you blokes therefore moved on?

After all, Tsatsu didn't start this questioning of the motives of the justices. Since the foolish case went to court, the justices seen as not pro-NPP, esp. Atuguba, have been under a barrage of abuses, attacks, long articles directed against him Atuguba in particular. After the verdict, it reached such a high crescendo that we can call it a deluge! What other accusations are there which you blokes can make against the justices who voted 9-0 against that foolish case which you haven't made already? Tsatsu fired only one warning shot into their camp and hell should break loose??? No, na scatter, wey dey scatter!

I know that he Tsatsu is an Anlo man and comes from a long line of traditional rulers on my Right wing, those who subscribe to the Anlo emblem and motto of one firewood cooking the meal (Naketsi Deka No Dzome Bi Nu). Yes, making sure that even one person on the battlefield could win the battle, since we Anlos didn't have 1000s to deploy after a 1000 were killed! So for us, it is One Man Thousand! I think Tsatsu has just proved again that, indeed, one firewood can cook the meal! Just a few words compared to their 1000s and they are reeling and belching like they are drowning in the Volta all over again! Hmmm!

Even his uncle Sam Okudzeto (where was this "uncle" when his beloved cousin was being steamrolled into Nsawam under all kinds of strange legal shenanigans such as under a law which was passed after Tsatsu guaranteed that loan to Valley Farm, padding the SC, etc., by his political cronies and bedmates?) was alarmed by the power the smallish, short man packed! Ele kpi do ga wui. "He is short but wears an iron armour." Well, he got his opportunity to vent his spleen and he did! Hollering about it won't change a thing! You blokes don't have the monopoly to be maligning and abusing respectable people, so bugger off, all of you!

I've wasted my time enough writing this!

Adofo, the only true God Yahweh is not asleep. He will not allow His children in Ghana to be given to someone alleged to be a drug user and abuser who is eratic and would want mayhem in Ghana. Just because he is so power drunk does not mean the good people of Ghana in our true thinking would want such an erratic deviant to be our president. Your so-called hero would never be president of Ghana.

Talking about Biometrics, they are not always 100% correct.

There are instances where there are what is called - False Acceptance, where the system mistakenly identify and accept you as the right person, when you are not.
There is also the - False Rejection, where the system repeatedly rejects the right person.

These are machines, and sometimes have a mind of their own. They are not 100% foolproof.

There have been instances where people have beaten the fingerprint system.

It is now recommended that at least two Unique identifiers be used, and not just one.

I hope Rockson Adofo, understands what I mean. I mean, your article is bogus, especially trying to bring in that biometric verification, to validate whatever you are trying to prove.

1. whether or not there were irregularities, malpractices, violations etc.
2. if there were would they affect the vote?
how can absence of signature affect the votes just to give a few examples. wise up you fool
