If I had my way, no NPP person will be given any leadership role in the country for the next thousand years.

In 2020, the MP side in Parliament had a commanding majority. The Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Aaron Oquay, was from the NPP side. The Speaker, backed by his party, ruled that an NPP MP who had declared his intention to contest the next election as an independent candidate should be expelled from the Parliament of Ghana. His seat was declared vacant. And the NPP was happy.

That ruling was the first of its kind.

In 2024, the NPP, with the slimmest majority in Parliament but the Speaker from the opposition NDC, were up in arms when Speaker Alban S.K. Bagbin ruled that some NDC and NPP MPs who intend to contest the 2024 election should vacate their seats. The net effect put the NPP on the minority side in Parliament.

The NPP side went to court, and the Supreme Court ruled that an MP who declares his or her intention to contest the next election as an independent candidate or on the ticket of another party should not be expelled from Parliament. The NPP was happy.

That ruling was the first of its kind.

If you look at this critically, it is the NPP fighting itself, winning, and being happy.

This reminds me of a proverb on Page 103 of "The President Ghana Never Got", which says if you cast a dangerous spell, the gods of justice have a way of directing part of it to your tongue.

In Twi, it says: Sɛ wo to aduro bɔne a, ɛbi ka Databank.

Be careful with the evil you plot or the injustice you support today, even against your enemy or arch-rival. Unlike the NPP, you may not win and be happy both ways.

Atuguba is disgrace to himself, family and the legal profession. After the delivery of his okro judgement in the election petition in 2013 he must shut up and bury his head in the WC IN THE TOILET. How dare you determine who sits on the Supreme Court bench when you yourself was parachuted there even though you are unfit. What law does Appiah Kubi know? Twea

And what about you Atuguba? If I were to have authority, you would be in jail by now. The reasons are, Firstly your partiality in the Election Petition Hearing. Secondly you opened your mouth widely on this vacant seat issue whilst the Supreme Court had not ruled. In your time, you would have ruled this comment as Contempt of Court. Again, with your perceived knowledge and loud mouth, you cannot bring an end to the war in your backyard. This is negligent of duty. Ironically, there plenty loud-mouthed men in your Region than the peaceful Upper West Region. But your people are slaughtering themselves. What happened to your training in Alternative Dispute Resolution? Nonsense

@Kwaku Asamoa,
Despite the fact that Nana Akufo Addo offered you free SHS education, yet can't decify the region Justice Atuguba comes from. Go back to your social studies books and learn where Bawku is located.

Justice Atuguba in the 2020 election dispute was biased in his ruling. Is this not the one who said that elections are won at the polls and not in our courts? If a judge would come with an order like that, you have lost the case before going to court. The table has now turned against the NDC. Nothing lasts forever, except God and His attributes. May God be Praised. What goes around comes around. Bawumia with his Pink Sheets is the same person the Lord is about to make him the ruler of Ghana. Mahama may laugh at the wrong side of his mouth for being greedy. May God continue to make His Face shine upon His people.

Justice Atuguba, you are the only past SCJ who is constantly bastardizing the current SC, and the reason is best known to you only. You have lots of retired SCJ in Ghana who have muted themselves off this case but you, and the question is why?

Are there no rules and regulations regarding how retired SCJ should conduct themselves in public? Why are you demeaning the current SCJ? Are you better than her or what exactly is your point?

During the election petition under your tenure, you used on 3o minutes to decide a case that dragged on for 6 or 8 months and did you hear the past SCJ criticizing your decision?

You cannot nominate any Ghanaian to the apex court so your statement of "If I had my way Appiah-Kubi would be made a Supreme Court judge" is not here nor there and it is what we call, impossible condition.

You are a disgrace to yourself and the office of the SCJ.

Ghana should go federal. We need to divide Africa along tribal lines. Africa can never unite. The various regions should be given the power to ellect their regional ministers , form their own police services and control their own resources. That's the only way we can develop. There is no poor region in Ghana. We shouldn't give all the power to Accra. Nkwaseasem. Let's copy the American system 100%.

The 9th Parliament should promulgate a bill to prevent the president from appointing the Chief Justice. However, the Judicial Council will recommend the most senior among the justices at the supreme court for two-thirds majority parliamentary approval. His removal should also be recommended by the judicial council to parliament for a two-thirds majority vote. The Chief Justice should be politically neutral and not known to associate with any political party. I believe this will bring sanity to the judiciary.
