Election 2020 Petition: Questions From SC Bench Have No Relation With Our Petition – Baba Jamal Clarifies
Deputy Director of Legal Affairs for the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Baba Jamal says the General Secretary of his party, Johnson Asiedu Nketia as a witness for the petitioner in the ongoing election 2020 petition did no wrong in his answers to the Supreme Court. At the end of the cross-examination by the Counsel of the 1st respondent, Akoto Ampaw over the witness statement given by Asiedu Nketia, the Bench of the Supreme Court sought to find out three things from the witness but he could not provide. But the former Member of Parliament for Akwatia Constituency reacting to the public argument that Asiedu Nketia failed to answer the questions from the Judges, said on Okay FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ Morning Show that the questions from the Bench have nothing to do with the issues before the Supreme Court. According to the former Deputy Eastern Regional Minister, none of the 5 issues pertaining to the petition that the Supreme Court has set aside to pass judgment bothers on the calculation of the NDC on the Presidential Election results. He noted that the pleadings of the petitioner, former President John Dramani Mahama are based on the figures of the Electoral Commission (EC); thus, the petitioner was clear in his pleadings that the figures of the 1st respondent are full of errors and thereby asking the Supreme Court to change the errors. He explained further that it is out of the pleadings of the petitioner that the Supreme Court set aside 5 issues to base judgment; reiterating that none of the three questions asked by one of the judges from the Bench has any relations with the issues before the Supreme Court. “We are talking about constitutional matters, whether the EC complied; we are talking about errors in the figures, whether they affected the results of the Presidential Election. If these are our pleadings, why will the Supreme Court ask for our calculation? Did we bring our calculation before the Supreme Court?”, he inquired. He, however, pointed out that the Supreme Court did not fault in asking those questions as they are allowed during cross-examination but insisted that the public must know those questions asked by one of the judges don’t relate to the issues before the Supreme Court.

Election Petition: Mahama’s request to inspect EC’s documents rejected
The Supreme Court has dismissed an application filed by John Dramani Mahama, the 2020 flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, in the ongoing Election Petition hearing requesting to inspect documents of the Electoral Commission. The documents Mr. Mahama had wanted to inspect included the original constituency presidential election result collation forms for all constituencies, constituency presidential election results summary sheet, regional presidential election summary sheets for all regions, and the declaration of the presidential results form. During the hearing today, Wednesday, February 3, 2021, the lead lawyer for the petitioner, Mr.Tsatsu Tsikata argued that his client was entitled to inspect the documents of the 1st Respondent due to the differences in the number of total valid votes cast and other results in the declared results. He insisted that inspection of the said documents will enable the petitioner to confirm whether their documents are the same as those in the custody of the 1st Respondent, the Electoral Commission. But the application was objected to by lawyers of the respondents. They described the application as misconceived. The lawyer for the 1st Respondent argued that the petitioner has all carbonated copies of the said documents hence such a request was untenable. Also, the lead counsel for the 2nd Respondent, Mr. Akoto Ampaw objected to the application saying the burden of proof is on the petitioner and that he cannot use the backdoor to adduce evidence from the respondents. Akoto Ampaw further argued that the timing of the application and the failure of the petitioner to produce documents and evidence of his own denies him the right to the application. The ruling The apex court in ruling on the application dismissed same saying the threshold of necessity has not been met by lawyers of John Mahama. Below are excerpts of the ruling: The rule permits the EC to give the applied documents to the parties who participated in the presidential elections through their accredited agents. Indeed, regulation 47 of C.I.127 sub-rule 7 to 11 inclusively sets out the different forms to be completed at the various states at the electoral process and copies of same given to the accredited agents of each candidate. The applicant has not demonstrated that he has no copies of the documents in question. In fact on record, PW1 and PW2 have admitted on oath that the petitioner has all the copies of the documents. The application for discovery of documents requires the discretion of the court and the guiding principle. In all cases in which the court makes an order for discovery, it is a matter of discretion and not as of right. In an ordinary way, where there are issues of fact between the parties, the court will generally make such an order. However, in the instant case, the applicant has not raised any issue that he has no copies of the documents of the subject of this application. In view of the fact that the proceeding so far shows the petitioner has copies of all the documents, the subject of this application, we are of the opinion that no proper case has been made before us to warrant the exercise of our discretion in favour of the applicant. Order 21 rule of 1 of C.I.97 which is the basis of this application, is not to be read in isolation and should be read in conjunction with rule 11 with the said order which states that an order for the production of any document for inspection by the parties or to the court shall not be made under any of these rules unless the court is of the opinion that the order is necessary either to dispose fairly of the course of the matter or to save cost. Furthermore, section 166 of the Evidence Act RCD 233 of 1975 makes it clear that a duplicate of a document is admissible to the extent of the original unless a genuine question is raised as to the authenticity of the duplicate. No issue has been raised against the duplicate in possession of the applicant. The discrepancies which the learned counsel for the petitioner has alluded to in his submissions with the declaration of 9th December 2020 and the press release of the 10th December 2020 and the answer in the witness statement of the 1st respondent are issues of evidence and do not give course for discoveries of the documents under consideration. So for the above reasons, the application is dismissed. Citinewsroom Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications. Contact: 0555568093
Overall broad cash budget deficit 10.8% of GDP – Addison
Bank of Ghana Governor Dr Ernest Addison has said as far as the execution of the budget is concerned, “provisional data released by the Ministry of Finance as of November 2020, showed an overall broad cash budget deficit of 10.8 per cent of GDP against the target of 11.4 per cent of GDP for the year”. Chairing the Monetary Policy Committee meeting on Monday, 1 February 2020 at which the policy rate was maintained at 14.5 per cent, Dr Addison said: “The primary balance also recorded a deficit of 4.9 per cent of GDP which was marginally above the target of 4.8 per cent of GDP”. “Over the review period, total revenue and grants amounted to GHS46.5 billion (12.1 per cent of GDP), marginally higher than the revised target of GHS46.0 billion (11.9 per cent of GDP)”, he reported. Total expenditures and arrears clearance amounted to GHS88.2 billion (22.9 per cent of GDP) against the revised target of GHS88.4 billion (22.9 per cent of GDP), he noted. The “elevated fiscal path”, he indicated, “has impacted the stock of public debt which rose to 74.4 per cent of GDP (GHS286.9 billion) at the end of November 2020 compared with 62.4 per cent of GDP (GHS218.2 billion) at the end of December 2019”. “Of the total debt stock, domestic debt was GHS147.3 billion (38.2 per cent of GDP), while external debt was GHS139.6 billion (36.2 per cent of GDP)”, Dr Addison added. Read the full statement below: Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Media. Welcome to the 98th Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) press briefing, and the first in the year 2021. The MPC met last week and reviewed recent global and domestic developments including the outlook for the economy. Permit me to share with you highlights of the developments and key considerations that informed the decision of the Committee on the Policy Rate. 1. The global economy was projected to contract by a larger margin in 2020 due to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the contraction has turned in better than earlier forecasted. The resurgence of infections and emergence of new variants of the virus since the last quarter of 2020 has, however, resulted in the re-imposition of restrictions and partial lockdowns in some economies and will likely soften the growth recovery momentum in early 2021. Notwithstanding the anticipated softening, global growth is expected to strengthen in the second half of 2021, conditional on continued policy support and successful rollout of COVID-19 vaccines. Prospects for 2021 look more positive, and the January update of the IMF’s World Economic Outlook projects a rebound in the global economy from the 3.5 per cent contraction in 2020 to a 5.5 per cent growth in 2021, amid uncertainties. 2. Global financing conditions remained accommodative throughout 2020, reflecting the massive policy support which induced lower borrowing costs, boosted equity valuations, enhanced investor risk appetite, and narrowed sovereign bond spreads across Emerging Market and Developing Economies. These developments helped ease pressures on emerging and frontier market currencies, while sovereign risk spreads for most sub-Saharan African countries declined steadily in the year. In the near-term, financial market indicators point to optimism about medium-term prospects. Nonetheless, rising debt levels and increasing interest burdens across several emerging markets and developing economies pose significant financing risks. 3. Global inflationary pressures remained subdued, weighed down by weak global demand and significant slack in labour and product markets during 2020. In Advanced Economies, inflation is projected to rise to 1.3 per cent in 2021 from 0.7 per cent in 2020, while in Emerging Market and Developing Economies, inflation is expected to ease slightly to 4.2 per cent from 5.0 per cent over the same comparative period. In emerging market and frontier economies, currency movements and COVID-related supply-side constraints are expected to dictate price movements, going forward. 4. In Ghana, after recording strong growth of 6.5 per cent in 2019 and firm growth of 4.9 per cent in the first quarter of 2020, growth was dampened in the second quarter due to COVID-related factors. However, following the lifting of restrictions and strong policy support, signs of recovery begun to emerge in the third quarter. Data released by the Ghana Statistical Service showed that real GDP growth provisionally contracted by 1.1 per cent in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the 3.2 per cent contraction recorded in the second quarter. In particular, non-oil GDP recorded a more measured contraction of 0.4 per cent in the third quarter of 2020, compared to a contraction of 3.4 per cent in the second quarter. 5. The Bank of Ghana’s updated Composite Index of Economic Activity (CIEA) recorded an annual growth of 11.9 per cent in November 2020, compared with 3.4 per cent growth a year ago. The key drivers of economic activity during the period were construction, port activity, imports, manufacturing, and credit to the private sector. 6. Results from the Bank’s latest confidence surveys conducted in December 2020 showed improvements in both consumer and business confidence. Consumer confidence remained firm at pre-lockdown levels reflecting optimism about current economic conditions following the gradual lifting of the COVID-related restrictions. Business confidence improved significantly, reaching pre-lockdown levels, for the first time, as businesses met short-term company targets and expressed positive sentiments about growth prospects. 7. Price developments in 2020 were broadly driven by COVID-related factors, especially the spike in inflation observed during the second quarter which was on the back of events preceding the partial lockdown. This was followed by the subsequent easing in inflation pressures in the third and last quarters, as the restrictions were removed. Two readings since the last MPC meeting indicated that headline inflation eased from 10.1 per cent in October to 9.8 per cent in November and then, subsequently rose to 10.4 per cent in December 2020. The inflation uptick in December was mainly driven by food inflation, which moved up to 14.1 per cent from 11.7 per cent in November. Non-food inflation, however, eased to 7.7 per cent from
UER: Dealers on local artifacts used in performing funerals cry for no patronage after President …
Upper East Region, is mostly part of the country in Ghana that has a special season for their funeral and burial ceremony of their beloved ones. And, these activities to them, is mostly done during the dry sea each year. However, Upper East is well known cultural area where people believe in performing some traditional activities and ritual during funeral and burial. It is on that note, that those dealing with the local artifacts used in performing the activities of funeral in the Upper East Region are crying foul after President ban Pronouncement on funeral across the country due to the increasing active cases of the dead coronavirus recorded. President Akufo Addo in his 23rd nation address, announced a ban on some ceremonial activities which includes funerals with no more than twenty-five people. “So, fellow Ghanaians, until further notice, funerals, weddings, concerts, theatrical performances, and parties are banned. Private burials, with no more than twenty-five (25) people, can take place, with the enforcement of the social distancing, hygiene and mask wearing protocols”. Meanwhile, it appears the President pronouncement, is not going well with those specialized in the local artifacts business in this part of the country. According to some of these dealers when Apexnewsgh.com visited the Ayia market in the Bolgatanga Municipal of the Upper East Region, they said, since after the 23rd address by the President, their daily sales has dropped drastically making it difficult for them to get their daily bread. However, their expectation was that, President should have waited a little till March ending to enable them sale their already stored goods which they eventually took loans to purchase.

Electoral Commission Chairperson exhibited bad faith – Dr Ayine
Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, a Spokesperson for the Petitioner, former President John Dramani Mahama, on Tuesday alleged that Mrs Jean Mensa, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission acted in bad faith against the Petitioner. Earlier, Dr Michael Kpessa-Whyte, the second witness of the Petitioner has told the Supreme Court that Mrs Jean Mensa, the EC Chairperson instructed him though not directly, and his colleague Robert Joseph Mettle-Nunoo, who were in the EC Strong room to convey a message to the Petitioner. He claims the message was on some of the observation they had made on some irregularities that were significant in terms of credibility and integrity of the results. Dr Ayine was addressing the media in a post-trial session, said when Dr Kpessa-Whyte and Mr Mettle-Nunoo left the EC’s strong room to convey the alleged message to the petitioner, the Commission then went ahead to declare the results behind them. He said the Petitioner had an extremely wonderful day in court today, and that the narrative they brought to court that there was a predetermined agenda on the part of the EC to declare President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as President-Elect by-all means played out in court. He alleged that the evidence of Dr Kpessa-Whyte made it clear that the Chairperson of the EC on that day, acted in bad faith. He said his colleagues left in good faith in the expectation that after the consultation, they were going to come back and then continue with the process as stipulated by law, however, that did not happen. He said it also came out that the venue for declaration of the election results was changed without consultation, since invitation “letters” was sent to all the parties who were all aware that the declaration of the 2020 Presidential Election was going to take place at the Accra International Conference Centre but immediately they left, she went to declare the results in favour of President Akufo-Addo. Mr Kpessa-Whyte during cross-examination had told the court that he did not hear the EC’s chairperson instructing them to convey a message to the petitioner by was told so by Mr Mettle-Nunoo his colleague at the strong room. So they also left together. He alleged that the petitioner’s witness was harassed because his evidence was clearly against the narrative of the EC and President Akufo-Addo’s lawyers. The Spokesperson said looking at the body language of the Vice Presidential Candidate of the Party, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyeman and Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, Party Chairman, they had a wonderful day in Court. Former President, John Mahama has filed a petition at the Supreme Court seeking an annulment of the Presidential election results and a re-run of the election between him and Nana Akufo-Addo who is the second Respondent in the petition. The petition is also seeking an injunction directing the 1st Respondent, the Electoral Commission to proceed to conduct a second election between the petitioner and the 2nd respondent as candidates, as required under Articles 63 (4) and (5) of the 1992 constitution.

Election Petition: Tsatsu Tsikata to cross-examine Jean Mensa
The Election Petition has reached its height of seeing Jean Mensa, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, in the dock to be cross-examined by the counsel for Petitioner John Dramani Mahama. The lawyers for the petitioner had always wanted this opportunity to examine the actions of Jean Mensa, the Returning Officer for the 2020 Presidential Election, whom the Supreme Court prevented from providing answers to 12 “interrogatories” regarding “what actually happened” during the declaration of the presidential election results, rather than the legally required steps as laid out in the Answer or Response from the EC. When the legal processes were filed at the Supreme Court on Monday, January 18, 2021, under a procedure called “Discovery” with a specific subset called “Interrogatories” which sought to ask “12 questions” about the processes leading up to the declaration of results as explained in the EC’s own response to the petition, the Supreme Court dismissed the “Application” during its sitting on Tuesday, January 19, 2021. In their ruling, the seven-member panel of the court presided over by Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah, the Chief Justice, dismissed the Application with the view that the crucial issues of relevancy had not been established by the petitioner. Further, the court stated in their certified true copy of the ruling which Tsikata had requested for so that his team could advise itself that, “subsequent to 2013, several statutory amendments have been made by C.I. 99 of 2016 which has restricted the practice and procedure of this court as regards Election Petition”. The court explained that even though “reference was made to the 2013 [presidential election] petition in which an application for interrogatories was granted by the Supreme Court, “Rule 69 of the Supreme Court amendment in C.I. 99 directs the expeditious disposal of petitions and set timelines for this court to dispose off the petition. The court continued in its unanimous decision: “It implies that even amendments brought here and granted as well as…, subsequent statutory amendments pointed out after the 2013 [presidential election petition], has provided us [ the court] with new procedural regime and strict timelines…..We are strictly bound to comply with C.I. 99 and therefore we will not apply Order 22 of C.I. 45 of 2004 in this circumstance…We accordingly refuse to grant the application and same is accordingly dismissed.” The interrogatories by the Petitioner which was dismissed will find its way in the cross-examination of Jean Mensa, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, on Wednesday. Before Jean Mensa mounts the witness box, however, counsels for the first and second respondents will oppose a motion by the counsels for the petitioner in a matter for a request to inspect documents. That request has been pending for a while, but on Tuesday when Tsikata sought clarity, Justin Amenuvor told the court that the EC was unwilling to supply those documents. The Chief Justice, therefore, directed both counsels to submit their objections by close of the day, Tuesday, to enable today’s arguments to be heard. If the arguments take a long time, Jean Mensa may not mount the witness stand on Wednesday. Meanwhile, in the latest motion filed on Tuesday, February 2, the lawyers for the Petitioner are seeking an order to compel the Electoral Commission to produce for inspection, some documents relating to the 2020 polls. The documents include original copies of the Constituency Presidential Election results Collation Forms (Form 9) for all Constituencies in Ghana and originals of Constituency Presidential Election Results Summary Sheets (Form 10) for all constituencies, of which all parties that took part in the December polls already have in their possession. The Petitioner is also seeking the originals of the Regional Presidential Elections Results Collation Forms (Form 11) for all regions, originals of the Regional Presidential Election Results Summary Sheets (Form 12) for all regions, also expected to be in possession of the parties already. Additionally, the petitioner is also seeking the original copies of the Declaration of the Presidential Results Form (Form 13) and the records of the alleged update to the purported declaration of Presidential Election Results on December 9, 2020, of four Constituencies in the Greater Accra Region. Lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata is expected to move the motion before the Supreme Court today, February 3. Lawyer Tsikata had indicated that the grant of the motion would determine whether or not to call another witness in the case. The counsels for the EC and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo are expected to oppose this new motion with the reason that the Petitioner already should have his copies from his party agents from the various regions. Find below the 12 “Interrogatories” which may be repackaged for Jean Mensa, the EC Chair, as part of her cross-examination: 1. Was there a practice in previous Presidential Elections in the 4th Republic of collated figures from constituencies being received in “the strong room” at the Headquarters of 1st Respondent in the presence of agents of the candidates? 2. Was that practice described in paragraph 1 herein followed in respect of the 7th December 2020 elections? 3. Is the 7th December 2020 Presidential Election the first time Regional Collation Centres have been interposed between Constituency Collation Centres and the Headquarters of 1st Respondent? 4. How were results transmitted from the Constituency Collation Centres to the Regional Collation Centres? 5. How were results transmitted from the Regional Collation Centres to the Headquarters of 1st Respondent? 6. Did the National Communications Authority facilitate in any way the transmission of results to the Headquarters of 1st Respondent? 7. When did Mrs Jean Adukwei Mensa, the Chairperson of 1st Respondent and the Returning Officer for the Presidential Election, first realise there were errors in figures she had announced in her Declaration of 9 December 2020? 8. How did Mrs Jean Adukwei Mensa, the Chairperson of 1st Respondent and the Returning Officer for the Presidential Election, get to realise there were errors in figures she had announced in her Declaration of 9 December 2020? 9. In respect of the purported “corrections” made to the figures in the declaration by 1st Respondent, was
