Mahama not being given fair hearing – Sammy Gyamfi

National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Sammy Gyamfi has said that the petitioner in the ongoing election petition hearing, Mr John Mahama is not being given a fair hearing by the court. Addressing the media after court proceedings on Monday February 22, Mr Gyamfi said “The bottom line is that the petitioner is worried that the court, in deciding these applications are not applying statutes that had been passed by our parliament, statutes that the court has been applying in other cases and we think that the petitioner is being denied a fair hearing and it is important to pursue these issues to the logical conclusions.” During proceedings on Monday, the Supreme Court of Ghana by a unanimous decision dismissed a review application filed by lawyers of Mr Mahama, against the court’s earlier ruling on whether or not witnesses can be compelled to testify in the court. Chief Justice Anin Yeboah in the ruling on behalf of the nine justices said the application was without merit and accordingly dismissed it. Lead counsel of the petitioner in the ongoing election petition hearing Tsatsu Tsikata has yet again made a case for the Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling on Tuesday, February 16. The seven justices of the apex court of Ghana unanimously dismissed the application of the petitioner, John Dramani Mahama, for the case to be re-opened in order to subpoena the Chair of the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC), the First Respondent, to testify in court as a “hostile witness”. On Monday, February 22, Mr Tsikata questioned the basis of the ruling, saying the justices themselves were surprised when the First Respondent closed its case without calling its witness, Jean Adukwei Mensah, to testify. Mr Tsikata said the justices may have their reasons for the decision to dismiss the application but “it is the ruling of the panel that we are here to question”. “I am not in the minds of the panel,” he stressed. He further argued that for Mrs Mensa to have filed a witness statement meant that she was committed to mount the witness box. “We have no reason to say she was not telling the truth,” he said. For him, the Holy Bible should guide the nine justices reviewing the case, quoting Hosea 8:7. For him, the Holy Bible should guide the nine justices reviewing the case, quoting Hosea 8:7. It states: “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.” He concluded: “May each of the lordships decide based on your conscience and your judicial oath.” Counsels for the respondents – Justin Amenuvor for the First Respondent and Akoto Ampaw for the Second Respondent – asked the Court to set aside the review application since it does not merit its prayer.

Ayine is solely responsible for consequences of his comments against Supreme Court – NPP

The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has rejected claims by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that spokespersons for lawyers of the 2nd respondent in the election petition hearing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah and Henry Nana Boakye are inciting the court against Dr Dominic Ayine who also speaks for lawyers of the petitioner. A Statement by Yaw Buabeng Asamoah, National Communications Director, of the NPP said on Friday February 19 “it is an affront to the apex court of the land for the NDC to suggest that the venerable, experienced and learned Justices of the Supreme Court (SC) who, over time, have demonstrated to be independent and objective are amenable to ‘incitement’ by spokespersons of the 2nd Respondent.” It added “The claim that Hon. Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah Esq. and Henry Nana Boakye Esq. seek to incite the SC against Dr Dominic Ayine is a blatant falsehood that must be rejected by Ghanaians. “The unfortunate comments from Dr Dominic Ayine that ‘for the Supreme Court to reduce the Petition into a single issue Petition is rather unfortunate and smacks of a predetermined agenda to rule against the Petitioner in this matter…we think that the court by this decision has not done the people of this country a great service. In the sense that Ghanaians are interested in knowing the truth…the Justices, today, have not given us a reason to believe that they want the people of this country to know the truth about what happened’ were voluntarily uttered by Dr. Ayine and he is solely responsible for its consequences.” Below is the full statement… RE: ATTEMPTS BY KOJO OPPONG-NKRUMAH AND HENRY NANA BOAKYE TO INCITE THE SUPREME COURT AGAINST NDC LAWYERS The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has taken notice of a press release from the NDC that seeks to create the false impression that the Supreme Court is being “INCITED” to cite Dr. Dominic Ayine for Contempt and also the lead Counsel of the Petitioner has been subjected to attacks by Hon. Kojo Oppong- Nkrumah Esq. and Henry Nana Boakye Esq. The NPP takes strong exception to the plain lies therein and without a shred of equivocation, state: 1. It is an affront to the apex court of the land for the NDC to suggest that the venerable, experienced and learned Justices of the Supreme Court (SC) who, over time, have demonstrated to be independent and objective are amenable to “INCITEMENT” by spokespersons of the 2nd Respondent. 2. The claim that Hon. Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah Esq. and Henry Nana Boakye Esq. seek to incite the SC against Dr Dominic Ayine is a blatant falsehood that must be rejected by Ghanaians. 3. The unfortunate comments from Dr Dominic Ayine that “for the Supreme Court to reduce the Petition into a single issue Petition is rather unfortunate and smacks of a predetermined agenda to rule against the Petitioner in this matter…we think that the court by this decision has not done the people of this country a great service. In the sense that Ghanaians are interested in knowing the truth…the Justices, today, have not given us a reason to believe that they want the people of this country to know the truth about what happened” were voluntarily uttered by Dr. Ayine and he is solely responsible for its consequences. 4. Dr Ayine has in the past been warned by the court for his conduct aimed at disparaging the Supreme Court. 5. The suggestion that the Lawyers and Spokespersons of the 2nd Respondent have been attacking, insulting and belittling the lead Counsel of the Petitioner is a plain falsehood, mischievously crafted to solicit public sympathy for the legal team of the Petitioner to conceal their poor performance, evident from the dismissals almost every major motion/application they have filed has suffered thus far. 6. The regrettable attitude of the lead Counsel of the Petitioner towards the bench has been a matter of public outrage and it is not correct to suggest that it is the lawyers or spokespersons of the 2nd Respondent that have made a case out of it. 7. It is utterly shocking for the National Communications Officer of the NDC who, over the years, have persistently insulted and disrespected President Akufo-Addo – someone whose legal and political achievements, the former may never be able to attain in his entire life – to lament and suggest that the spokespersons of the 2nd Respondent ought to show deference to seniors at the Bar when in actual fact, there hasn’t been any act of disrespect on the part of the 2nd Respondent’s team towards the Petitioner’s lawyers or spokespersons. 8. We encourage the NDC team to focus on explaining to their supporters why the statistics they earlier claimed were in their favour have been abandoned in court. 9. We also admonish them to desist from misinforming the public on developments in court and also refrain from their penchant to create a false impression that the court is biased against them. 10. The Spokespersons for the 2nd Respondent’s legal team will remain forthright and continuously inform the public on the truth about developments in court and not hesitate to respond adequately to the NDC propaganda.

‘I went overboard, crossed the line; I apologise, retract’ contemptuous words – Ayine

Former Attorney General Dr Dominic Ayine has apologised for saying the Supreme Court has a “predetermined agenda” to rule against former President John Mahama, the petitioner in the ongoing election petition case. “I have looked at what I said that day and I have come to the conclusion that I went overboard, I crossed the line with respect to the remarks that I made”, Dr Ayine told the media on Monday, 22 February 2021 after the hearing. Dr Ayine’s apology came after the court asked him to do so. In court on Monday, the Bench reprimanded Dr Ayine for those comments and asked him to purge himself of the contemptuous words through the same media by which he made the earlier comments. Dr Ayine has also written an unqualified apology to the court and the Justices. Background Dr Ayine’s comment came after the apex court on Tuesday, 16 February 2021, ruled that Mr Mahama could not reopen his case for the sole purpose of subpoenaing the star witness of the Electoral Commission and using her as an “adverse” witness. In his media address, Dr Ayine said: “The Supreme Court asked itself a question, which we deem as a wrong question and answered that question. It said: why does the Chairperson need to account to the people of Ghana when she’s not a party to the suit”. “Now you’ll recall that counsel made it clear that one of the reasons we are in court is because of the unconstitutional conduct of Mrs Jean Adukwei Mensa as the returning officer under the Constitution and it is not true that there is only one issue that needs to be determined in this matter”, the lawmaker said. He continued: “I am surprised that the Supreme Court itself, having set down five key issues to be determined, is now reducing the issues to one, which is whether and extent to which the evidence that we have led, shows that no one got more than 50 per cent of the votes in accordance with article 53 of the Constitution”. “But we have made it abundantly clear in the petition that there were a number of infractions”. “We are contesting even the constitutionality of the declaration that was made. We are saying that she violated article 23 of the Constitution because she’s an administrative body”. “We have also said her exercise of discretion was contrary to article 296 of the Constitution”. “These are all germane issues under the Constitution and laws of Ghana and to reduce the petition into a single-issue petition, is rather unfortunate and smacks of a predetermined agenda to rule against the petitioner in this matter”. A spokesperson for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s legal team, Mr Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, described Dr Ayine’s assertion as “unfair to the judicial system”. Speaking to the media, the former information minister said: “It is not fair to the judicial system, it’s not fair to our democracy, it’s not fair to the people of Ghana that when you lose an application because it is not grounded in law or because you’ve failed to meet the legal standard, then you come here and literally poison the minds of the public and make claims that they may be having a predetermined agenda. That’s scandalous of the court”. “When you make a legal argument and it is upheld, that one is good; when you make an argument and it doesn’t meet the threshold, then it means that they are wrong in law or that they have a predetermined agenda. “The Supreme Court has not reduced the petition to a single issue. We tried our best to transcribe the ruling and we’re waiting for the written version of it. The court said that the major issue, it didn’t say there was a single issue before it…” Classfm Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

Your fundamental errors caused miscarriage of justice – Mahama writes to Supreme Court

Former President John Dramani Mahama, the Petitioner in the ongoing Election Petition, is seeking a review of the Supreme Court’s ruling against his motion to re-open his case. The Supreme Court on February 16, 2021, chaired BY Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah dismissed the application in which the Petitioner was asking to be allowed to re-pen his case and subpoena the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) to mount the witness box as his “hostile witness.” This was after lawyers of the EC, the 1st Respondent and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, 2nd Respondent waived their rights to adduce evidence. The unanimous ruling of the apex court was to the effect that, the Petitioner has not demonstrated any exceptional grounds that should warrant the Court to exercise its discretion in his favour. However, in a motion for Review which has been tabled for hearing on Monday, February 22, the Petitioner in his affidavit in support of the motion stated that the fundamental errors have occasioned a miscarriage of justice against him. Below is the full affidavit in support of the motion for review PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that this Honourable Court shall be moved by Counsel for and on behalf of Petitioner/Applicant herein (Applicant), praying for an order of the Court reviewing its Ruling delivered on 16th February 2021 in respect of an application by Applicant to re-open his case; UPON the grounds set forth in the Statement of Case and the accompanying affidavit, and for such further or other orders as the Honourable Court may deem fit. AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT l, JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA, of House No. 33 Chain Homes, Airport valley Drive, Accra, make oath and say as follows: I am the Petitioner and Applicant herein. The facts in this affidavit, unless otherwise stated, are within my personal knowledge, information or belief. On 16th February 2021, this Court delivered a unanimous ruling refusing an application by me to re-open my case for the purpose of causing a subpoena to be issued and directed at Mrs. Jean Adukwei Mensa to appear in court to be cross-examined by my Counsel. The ruling is attached to this affidavit and marked as Exhibit “3RD REVIEW 1”. At the hearing of this application, I shall, through my Counsel, seek leave of this Honourable Court to refer to all processes filed in this case up to the date of the hearing of the application. In respect of Exhibit 3rd Review 1″, I am advised by Counsel and verily believe that the Court made fundamental errors of law, including the ruling being per incuriam of constitutional provisions, statutes and previous decisions of the Supreme Court. “Among these errors, I am advised by Counsel and verily believe, is an error whereby the Court subordinates a provision in the Evidence Act to a rule in subsidiary legislation by the Rules of Court Committee. “Attached herewith marked as Exhibit 3 RD REVIEW 2″ and 3 RD REVIEW 3″ are the two affidavits of the Chairperson of 1 st Respondent, Mrs. Jean Adukwei Mensa, whose legal effect (by virtue of the Evidence Act), the ruling attempts to sidestep by recourse to subsidiary legislation. “The fundamental errors which have occasioned a miscarriage of justice against me are set out in the Statement of Case herewith attached. “I am advised and verily believe that they constitute exceptional circumstances that warrant the Court reviewing its own decision. “WHEREFORE I swear to this affidavit in support of the application herein.” kasapa Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

Akoto-Ampaw Asks SC To Charge Mahama For “Abuse Of Court Process”

Lead Counsel for the second respondent in the ongoing 2020 election petition, President Akufo-Addo during Thursday’s hearing at the Supreme Court said the petitioner should be charged for ‘an abuse of court process’. The petitioner, former President John Mahama filed an application for review of the Supreme Court’s February 11th decision which quashed an earlier application to cross-examine the EC chairperson, Madam Jean Mensa. During legal argument on Thursday, Lawyer Akoto Ampaw who described the review application as “a classic case of an aggrieved party who has become emotional by the decision of the court (and) seeks to reargue his case through the back door of an apparently review application” said even though no cost is awarded in a ‘constitutional matter’, the Supreme Court should make this exceptional. “ . . an abuse of court process and even though we are all aware that in constitutional matters like this no cost is awarded, I think this is a special occasion where cost should be awarded,” he said. After the SC gave its ruling and dismissed the application review, lawyer Akoto Ampaw reechoed his assertion; insisting that the petitioner has “abused court process”. However, the Chief Justice Anin Yeboah replied: “it is a constitutional matter and the practice which has been settled in this court is that you don’t award cost in constitutional matters. Akoto-Ampaw came again: “I think the court should be amenable to grant cost even in constitutional matters”. And the Chief Justice rebutted; “Please we won’t” Review application dismissed The Supreme Court has overruled former President John Mahama’s application for review of its earlier decision not to compel the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Madam Jean Mensa to testify. Mahama, the petitioner in the ongoing election petition requested that the Apex Court review its February 11 decision which indicated that ” . . simply put, we are not convinced and will not yield to the invitation being extended to us by counsel of the petitioner to order the respondents to enter the witness box to be cross-examined, accordingly we hereby overrule the objection raised by the counsel for the petitioner against the decision of the respondents declining to adduce evidence in this petition”. According to the lead counsel of the petitioner, Tsatsu Tsikata, the Court made fundamental errors of law and that those errors had occasioned “a miscarriage of justice against me (the Petitioner).” However, after hearing arguments from all parties during today’s hearing, the 9-member panel dismissed the application. The panel of 7 judges was reconstituted to 9 because it was a review hearing. The ruling which was delivered by the Chief Justice said the review application has failed. Stay of Proceeding Meanwhile, the application to stay proceeding filed by the petitioner is now moot. It may be recalled that lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata filed two new applications at the Supreme Court after the motion to reopen their case was dismissed: Application to stay proceeding and Application for review. According to the Chief Justice, the stay proceeding application has been struck out because it was pending the application for review and that has been dismissed. The hearing has been adjourned to Monday 22nd February, 2021. Peacefm Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications. Contact: +233555568093

Supreme Court cites Dominic Ayine for contempt over his “predetermined agenda” comment

The Supreme Court has instituted contempt proceedings against, Dr Dominic Ayine, a member of the legal team of the petitioner in the ongoing election 2020 petition for comments he allegedly made against the Apex Court. Dr Ayine is reported to have accused the seven-member Supreme Court panel adjudicating the petition,of having a “predetermined agenda” to rule against the petitioner (John Dramani Mahama) in his action challenging the constitutionality of the re-election of President Akufo-Addo for a second term in office. During the said press briefing, Dr. Ayine said, “It is not true that there is only one issue that needs to be determined in this matter. I am surprised that the Supreme Court itself having set down five key issues to be determined is now reducing the issue to one, which is whether the extent to which the evidence that we have led shows that no one got more than 50% of the votes in accordance with Article 63 of the Constitution”. Dr Ayine added: “We have made it abundantly clear in the petition that there were a number of infractions, we are contesting even the constitutionality of the declaration that was made. We are saying that she violated Article 23 because she is an administrative body, we have also said the exercise of discretion was contrary to Article 296 of the Constitution. “And to reduce the petition to a single-issue petition is rather unfortunate and smack of a predetermined agenda to rule against the petition in this matter.” He added, “We think that the court by this decision has not done the people of this country a great service, in the sense that Ghanaians are interested in knowing the truth. The justices today have not given as a reason to believe that they want the people of this country to know the truth about what happened…why figures kept changing from 9 December” Dr. Dominic Ayine further stated while he addressed the press at the forecourt of the Supreme Court. The seven-member Supreme Court panel presided over by Chief Justice Anin Yeboah, which also includes Justices Yaw Appaw, Samuel Marful-Sau, Nene Amegatcher, Nii Ashie Kotey, Mariama Owusu and Gertrude Torkonoo, is expected to sit Thursday the 18th of February 2021 to continue with the trial of the 2020 election petition. It is likely that Dr. Ayine will be served with the process today (18 February 2021) and subsequently he will be called to answer to the Court why he should not be found to be in contempt of Court for his comments allegedly made against the Supreme Court.

SC delays sitting by 2hrs as JM asks CJ for ‘reasonable time’ to study EC, Akufo-Addo affidavits against review application

The Supreme Court has delayed its hearing of the election petition on Thursday, 18 February 2021, to 11:30 am, following a letter written to the Chief Justice by former President John Mahama’s lawyers asking to be given “reasonable time” to study affidavits filed by the two respondents, the Electoral Commission and President Nana Akufo-Addo, against the petitioner’s application for a review of the court’s earlier ruling that it cannot compel the star witness of the first respondent, Mrs Jean Mensa, to testify against her will. The petitioner’s letter, dated today and signed by Mr Tony Lithur, said the delay will allow Mr Mahama’s lead counsel, Mr Tsatsu Tsikata to go through the affidavits of the respondents. The letter said: “I received a call from the registrar of the court close to midnight, notifying me of respondents’ filed affidavits opposing petitioner’s application for review, soft copies of which he had sent to my email at 11:13 pm”. “I forwarded the processes to the lead counsel (Tsatsu Tsikata) for the petitioner at 11:30 pm.” “In order to allow lead counsel for petitioner reasonable time to factor the said affidavits into his arguments in support of the application for review, I would respectfully request that this morning’s proceedings be commenced at 11:30 instead of the scheduled 9:30 am”. “I count on your kind consideration of our request.” Yours faithfully, Tony Lithur Classfm Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

You’re my ‘small boy’ at the Bar; stop ‘inciting’ SC against me on my ‘predetermined agenda comment’ – Ayine warns Oppong Nkrumah

Former Deputy Attorney General, Dr Dominic Ayine, has accused Information Minister-designate Kojo Oppong Nkrumah of “always” seeking to “incite” the Supreme Court against him in his post-trial commentary to journalists in the ongoing election petition in which former President John Mahama, the petitioner, is challenging the results of the 2020 presidential polls. Dr Ayine’s complaint follows a chastisement of him by Mr Oppong Nkrumah after Tuesday’s hearing, in which the Ofoase Ayirebi MP of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) accused the Bolga East MP of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of “scandalising” the Supreme Court by suggesting that there was a “predetermined agenda” to rule against his client, Mr Mahama. After the court ruled against Mr Mahama’s application to reopen his case on Tuesday, Dr Ayine told journalists: “The Supreme Court asked itself a question, which we deem as a wrong question and answered that question. It said: why does the Chairperson need to account to the people of Ghana when she’s not a party to the suit”. “Now you’ll recall that counsel made it clear that one of the reasons we are in court is because of the unconstitutional conduct of Mrs Jean Adukwei Mensa as the returning officer under the Constitution and it is not true that there is only one issue that needs to be determined in this matter”, the lawmaker said. He continued: “I am surprised that the Supreme Court itself, having set down five key issues to be determined, is now reducing the issues to one, which is whether and extent to which the evidence that we have led, shows that no one got more than 50 per cent of the votes in accordance with article 53 of the Constitution”. “But we have made it abundantly clear in the petition that there were a number of infractions”. “We are contesting even the constitutionality of the declaration that was made. We are saying that she violated article 23 of the Constitution because she’s an administrative body”. “We have also said her exercise of discretion was contrary to article 296 of the Constitution”. “These are all germane issues under the Constitution and laws of Ghana and to reduce the petition into a single-issue petition, is rather unfortunate and smacks of a predetermined agenda to rule against the petitioner in this matter”. Reacting to his comments, Mr Oppong Nkrumah said: “It is not fair to the judicial system, it’s not fair to our democracy, it’s not fair to the people of Ghana that when you lose an application because it is not grounded in law or because you’ve failed to meet the legal standard, then you come here and literally poison the minds of the public and make claims that they may be having a predetermined agenda. That’s scandalous of the court”. “When you make a legal argument and it is upheld, that one is good; when you make an argument and it doesn’t meet the threshold, then it means that they are wrong in law or that they have a predetermined agenda”. “The Supreme Court has not reduced the petition to a single issue. We tried our best to transcribe the ruling and we’re waiting for the written version of it. The court said that the major issue, it didn’t say there was a single issue before it…” Mr Ayine has, however, taken issue with his fellow lawyer and lawmaker’s counter-comments. “I must say that I am severely disappointed in the honorable Kojo Oppong Nkrumah. I am a senior lawyer to Kojo. Kojo should not take to always seeking to incite the court against me, as if I do not know what I am saying”, he complained in an interview with Accra-based Starr FM. First of all, he pointed out, “as a former Deputy Attorney General and a senior person at the bar, I know what it means to scandalise the highest court of the land”, insisting: “I have had no intention whatsoever of scandalising the Supreme Court of the Republic of Ghana”. “If I came across as having said that the court is in cahoots with the respondents; that, I will apologise and withdraw”, he noted, explaining: “But the reason I said that is because that is what the respondent has been telling the media”. Dr Ayine continued: “Now, tell me: is the duty of the respondent to evaluate the evidence brought by the parties or it is the duty of the lawyers, spokespersons to say that your petition is empty even when they are commenting on the merit?” “Kojo Oppong Nkrumah should know that he has been violating the sub judice rule on a daily basis. He has always been preempting outcomes of the courts saying: ‘The petition is empty’, ‘it does not discharge the burden the proof and so on’. Does he know that is a violation of the sub judice rule and that he should be hauled before court for commenting on the merit of the petition?” Dr Ayine said he would not be surprised if the court admonishes him for his comments. “I will not be surprised and the court is entitled to take a position on it or express disappointment on it – even go as far as committing me for contempt”. “I won’t begrudge them”, he said, “but that honestly wasn’t meant to disparage the court or bring its reputation into disrepute”, he clarified.
