The deputy attorney general is on record as never having won a case as a
lawyer.Judging from his comments and gestures, and from the fact that he
couldn't even put together a "CV" for his vetting to become Deputy Minister,
it stands to reason that he might join the rank and file of NDC lawyers who
are lawyers only on paper neither by speech or action deserving even to wear
the most tattered wig or gown. It was this same gentleman who attempted to
blackmail a judge from sitting on a case by stating he had evidence "that
someone told him he had heard the judge tell someone that he(the judge)
would dismiss the case against Yidana and some others if the prosecution
didn't produce credible evidence to support their case". Interestingly, this
deputy attorney general even after the Judge had recused himself from the
case fearing for his life, shamefully lost the case against Yidana and Co
for much the same reasons as was suggested as being contained in the tape he
had.It is fascinating to note that the judge only went short of saying that
the Ag department had turned into a circus grounds for ill-minds and
persons. For some of us, the deputy attorney general was only trying to
muddy the waters awaiting an eventual lose of a groundless and baseless case
pushed only by a political vendetta against people seen as sympathetic to
the NPP. He knew for certain that no judge in his right sense of mind was
going to rule in his favor had he accused the judge of bias, the judge would
have eventually been pronounced fit to continue the case, the state would
have lose and viola, the dep attorney general would have found a grounds
through him or his puppets to accuse the judiciary of corruption. God
perished the plans of this nation-wrecker whose desperation to win a case is
more than his desire to see justice truly and effectively discharged!

Fast track to now, this same deputy attorney general is in the news again.
Yet again for another desperate act unable to be rationalized even by the
most adherent and goatish sycophant. Three gentlemen, granted bail by a
court of competent jurisdiction are placed under protective custody because
some buffoon,ignorant of elementary laws orders their (re)arrest. As if this
is not enough, you have a whole Deputy Attorney General in an attempt to
silence discussion on this issue suggesting that because "we don't know the
reasons for their rearrest we mustn't speculate" as if he was going to help
elevate the discussion he goes further to state that he can not disclose the
reasons for their rearrest.For goodness, it is fundamental that a person
being arrested,restricted,detained,rearrested whatever whatever is informed
in a language he understands the reason for his arrest,restriction or
detention and of his right to a counsel of his choice.This is a basic
constitutional requirement not even the CJ can direct to be ignored! I don't
believe the BNI whispered the supposed charges into the ears of the
gentlemen before they attempted to rearrest them so that their counsel
wouldn't hear neither do i think the people around including members of the
press could have been unanimous in not hearing the charges preferred against
these gentlemen if any was articulated.The admission by the deputy attorney
general on Joy Fm,Saturday 30th July, 2011, confirmed the fact that the
arrest was fundamentally wrong and a clear procedure pertaining to arrest
and taking in of suspects had been breached.For a young Republic one would
believed that some of these clear procedural and human rights abuses would
be condemned by all stakeholders in the strongest terms possible so as to
prevent a repeat in future instead of some lose and ill-constructed attempts
to rationalize it.

I believe, Prof Mills, being a law professor could have made a better choice
of learned and properly experienced individuals to hold the position of
attorney general considering the importance of that ministry. If the NDC
government wants the Judiciary to take them serious they must remove clowns
like the Dep- Ag from office and replace him with one more deserving in
character and in practice.
