This could certainly get you a good grade in your class. But I wonder what grade will be awarded you with this 21-page online article.

Listen to the lying game of the NPP. On daily bases we hear AFAG and Occupied Ghana shouting that the Anas tape be aired. While.on the other side, we hear its other mouth pieces, I mean, GBA, The Church, Minority spoke person, the Asantehene who thought the EC must change voters' register because it was accused by the show of NPP cooked evidences, pleading with the Chief Justice(CJ) that the hard core evidence of corruption against the judiciary by Anas must be handled with care. You see my friends, This is how best the NPP and its apparatchiks wish to direct the behaviour of Ghanaians. We are not fools or blind. I BELIEVE THIS IS A CAREFULLY PLANNED advice from the CJ's office to these separate groupings so that the CJ can create a loophole for the abortion of justice in the name of listening to the advice of well meaning citizens. Were we not in this country when a whole drama and money was thrown into a so call reconciliation, With even an ex- president, JJ dragged before it?

Corrupt Justices
If one could grease a justice’s palm and receive a favorable verdict in return, then I think, competent justices, I mean those whose hands are clean should be appointed by the powers there be thanks to Mr. Anas’ corrupt revelations among some of our august justices to review the entire outcome of the election petition of the recent past and other verdicts that raised eyebrows. I say this because Ghanaians in diaspora and other nationals around the globe watched every bit of what transpired in the court room during the hearing, and it was obvious to all that the Electoral Commissioner’s explanations as to why he did certain things or his statements were full of inconsistencies, but he was vindicated at the end of the day. These (Ghanaians in diaspora and other nationals) were stunned when some justices voted to uphold the results notwithstanding.
Many, including myself could not figure out why those justices voted the way they did given the overwhelming inconsistencies of those who gave testimonies including the Electoral Commissioner himself that is, to uphold the results. We did not understand why, but we know now that a favorable verdict has a price tag to it, that is, not a hard currency, but our beloved Cedi can make a huge difference behind closed doors for justice to be served in favor of someone my father’s traditional court would have found guilty as charged. We have a big problem as a nation in terms of our system of justice. A potential responder to this piece would say it happened in the past administration, but I would like to quote this Akan proverb to buttress my point: “A hunter is the one whose game is smoking on a stake.” Justices who have been caught in the very act should be made to face the music. In other words, we should set scapegoats to serve as deterrent against this to prevent a potential happening in the future.
Once again, my appeal is, there should be a judicial review of sensitive cases or ones that gained huge publicities. This should not be a partisan issue because justice is everyone’s refuge, especially underdogs in societies. A high court justice once commended my father’s traditional court for a verdict which a guilty party disagreed and subsequently sought redress in his court. The justice invited my father to share his ruling with his court. In other words, he did let his (my father’s) ruling stand. This is a very serious issue. If after 58 and 55 years respectively of independence and republic, our justices are this corrupt, then I recommend that we go back to our traditional systems of justice. Let’s put partisan aside and tackle the bull by the horns. A judiciary this corrupt means underdogs are doomed, no cities of refuge, or no hedges over their heads. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, in a Letter from Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963, to his fellow clergyman said this: Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. This underscores how important the justice system is around the world.
