Where is that Justice Kpegah by the way? How is he fairing after the he man detested and ridiculed for years, assumed the highest office of the state? With the due respect I have for him, but there is one thing that amuses me about him, i.e. Did he ever try to do a thorough research about Nana Addo background, or was he just acting out of sheer jealousy or l mean, was he pushed to smear the image of Nana Addo? Well posterity will judge him on that. Another person elderly person who seems to be hiding in the rat hole is Dr. Afari Djan: this man was a childhood friend of Nana Addo, and even his dorm mate at Legon, according to his own confessions. You see when Nana was working on his childhood ambitions to become the president of Ghana, Afari Djan was aware and was also nursing a sinister motive to derail that prospect, should he be given the least opportunity; and indeed, it did happen in e.g. during the 2008 and 2012 elections. But as the saying goes " who the Lord blesses no one can curse" I think Dr Djan hated Nana Addo for one thing, that the later was a son of a former president and hailed from an affluent background, both paternal and maternal as if that was his fault to be born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Well according to Nigeria's acclaimed writer and noble prize winner Chenue Achebe "He who laughs last, laughs best " if l've quoted him right.

Do you think that you really know God at all? It's not too late for you to repent if you want to inherit his kingdom.
Was it true that John Dramni Mahama won election 2012? Do you know how many people that lost their souls can you stand by that if you ask by the Almighty God?
Please, tell your pastor and your relatives to support you to pray a fervent prayer for forgiveness because your hands are full of blood through NDC. My prayer is that may the Lord God forgives you all your sins that you committed against your own people in Jesus name. Amen and Amen.

You are discerning; the crooked and corrupt lady knows no God! Exceedingly corrupt, she allowed herself into the hands of Kufuor to dissipate the dark cloud over Richard Anane despite that his so-called girlfriend Alexandra sent a letter to parliament about how he (Anane) stole Ghana Airways money for his amorous escapades and finally sent the airline into bankruptcy.

This lady was in the core of all the crazy lawless stuff during Kufuor's tenure of office.

Don't you spill your ignorance on this platform to pollute the minds of those who are vulnerable. Was the CJ part of the panel that sat on the case? Didn't you read how sound advice compelled her to recuse herself and appoint Atuguba to head that panel. It is only Atuguba who cannot make such pronouncements before holy saints until he has fasted forty days and nights for deceiving Ghanaians. As head of your home, once you give 'chop money' to your wife to prepare you peanut soup, do you beat her up, divorce or disgrace her if she rather prepares light soup?

Why did you not resign? That would have been the best thing that would happen to Ghana. You hid behind your brother in law, who is a first class swindler Atta Akyea, to change the elections results in 2008. If not of the early intervention by some NDC lawyers, there would have been a civil war. Even in 2016 elections, you helped NPP to rig the elections in Ashanti and Eastern regions using the Delta Forces to cause over voting. Good riddance. I hope your friend Sophia won't follow your footsteps. Her judgement in the Muntie3 makes me suspicious.

Now imagine the disgraced the party is facing in parliament. All their arguments are "basaaa" . Why? NDC parliamentarians are just useless with stupid arguments. Just look at Ofori Ata has done to the party. How can you used two months to read master degree in economics, and sit in parliament to challenge some like Ofori Atta or Dr. Bawmia?

You have stayed in London for many years and still don't reason well let alone speak good grammar? Do you say "I have lived in abroad" in that Islington of yours? I thought it was "I have lived abroad ..." Don't worry, it makes me understand why you are ignorant of what happened with the proceedings of the 2012 election petition. If you read you didn't understand. Her Ladyship the C J was not on the panel that determined the woeful declaration of John Mahama as President on Ghana. She shrewdly recused herself from the case okay? If you have any one to blame for the deaths of many, look for Atuguba. You don't determine who enjoys life and who does not. God who is infinite in wisdom and power does. He is a just God. It was this very God who commanded not "to bear false witness against your neighbor" as you are doing. Get your facts right before blaspheming.

Prof Mills was a man of God who was a unifier. He wouldn't tolerate violence under his care. He didn't even immediately sack Ghanaian workers known to be sympathetic to the elephants immediately he took over. Most of them left six months into Mills' reign and others continued to work even after his demise because according to him we were all Ghanaians. Did madam know how Tsatsu Tsikata was treated under her supervision? Well Tsatsu has asked God to forgive all those behind that wicked trial against him. He bears no grudge with anybody for vengeance belongs to the Lord. if I were madam I would have only thanked God for seeing me through and not apportion blame to any political party. By mentioning a particular political party she has exposed herself as been partisan whilst at post. She has opened herself to be tagged as a politician doing the biddings of a particular party when she was the CJ. I am scandalised.

it always feels good when one is able to withstand stormy seas so CONGRATS! however, u're not telling the whole story if u stop there, 'cos u know why u came under pressure! just in case u want me n Gh to believe u don't, here is why: a leaked tape carrying the voice of your in-law disclosed that the in-law in question had connived with u - in ur position as the cj whose responsibility is to determine which court adjudicates on which case - to send an ex-parte motion this in-law was interested in to a specific court because he thought the judge there to be "one of us"!
so, u see, "what u sow is what u reap", to which one may add "he who sows the wind reaps the whirlwind!"
it's been 8 long years, yes, but it's like yesterday, so u are better-off not raking up half-truths of the past to court undeserved sympathy!

Madam this your statement shows that you were plain face Npp I thought it was not true because Justice Dotse is clearly an NPP sympathizer so if he was your pal and consoles you then you are a sympathizer of the same political party ..Tell God not me that in all the court cases that have political bearing you did not as chief justice of Ghana wished that judgement went in favour of your political family. I don't know but tell the almighty God yourself the truth. NPP should dominate the judiciary for ever. God is the King

You sustained the NDC pressure unlike the Bank of Ghana Governor Issahaku who could not sustain the NPP pressure and rushed to resign. So, between NPP and NDC, who can give more undue pressure???

What did you do to warrant the alleged drive to kick you out of office? Start from the beginning; perhaps the path that you took to come in.
Your praisers in the Judicial Service are few indeed. May you forgive yourself the destructions you wrecked in the lives many a Judicial Service staff's lives.
There is always the other side of the coin.
You know what you did to the majority of the staff that God placed to work with you.
That is your burden.

Very disappointing comments from a former CJ.
Clearly, you could see her party she is affiliated to, and has tried to rope inn Justice Dotse just to destroy him.
A bad woman, of course!
