We support live telecast of Supreme Court case!

Not that we find courtroom proceedings interesting such that we want to be glued to everything that is happening in the Supreme Court case in which Akufo-Addo is seeking to foist himself on Ghana, as President “at all cost”, but The Informer is of the strong opinion that the current live telecast of the Supreme Court proceedings, is in the supreme interest of the state.

What is at stake is the NATIONAL INTEREST, and we support 100%, the decision to allow the National Broadcaster, Ghana Television, to telecast live the proceedings.

We believe that the Chief Justice must have also considered, critically the National Interest, before “decreeing” that the proceedings be telecast live. For us on The Informer, our joy in having the live telecast, stems from the fact that all Ghanaians have the opportunity to follow the proceedings and make their lay judgments.

Over the decades, the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) or the United Party (UP) Tradition, has continued to create the false impression; and panning the Tradition out as one that has the best legal brains in Ghana.

Right from the days of Nkrumah, the false impression was created to present the UP Tradition as one that had the best legal brains.

Decades down the line, Akufo-Addo and his NPP colleagues continue to recreate the false impression that their forebears created.

Akufo-Addo (forget about the fact that he cannot find his law certificates), and his noisy collection of lawyers, do not lose any opportunity to pump up their egos and flaunt themselves all over the place.

Who does not know how some of these so-called learned lawyers obtain their judgments in court?

Who does not know how Akufo-Addo and his cohorts have been winning their cases in court?

Who does not know how some of the lawyers and judges belong to secret societies, and so, determine the outcome of cases even before judgments are given?

Today, we are all watching the Supreme Court proceedings live, and we can see how the NPP side is sweating like a pregnant elephant that is still carrying its pregnancy long after its due date.

But for the live telecast, only God knows the stories that Akufo-Addo and his lackeys would have been churning out on the airwaves.

But for the live telecast, only God knows the kind of nauseating “propaganda” (apologies to Kwaku Baako) that the spineless Coffee Shop Mafia and other NPP media acolytes would have been churning out on the airwaves.

Suddenly, the likes of Kwame Akufo, Godfred Dame, Egbert Faibille, Ata Akyea, Yooni Kulendi, Asante Bedietuo, Ursula Owusu, Gabby Otchere-Darko, and all the other lawyers are very quiet.

Suddenly, we are not hearing the cacophony of supposedly intelligent lawyers disturbing the equilibrium of our eardrums.

Indeed, suddenly, Kwaku Baako is not predicting the outcome of the court case, as he used to do in the Quality Grain case and Tsatsu Tsikata cases, because his political masters at the time were feeding him with judgments that were written at the castle and pushed on to the judges.

But for the live telecast, legal infants like Kwame Akuffo, would have been walking around the courts of Ghana, as if he is the first person to have studied law in Ghana.

Small boys like Godfred Dame and Egbert Faibille, would have been making all kinds of senseless legal noises all over the place.

Indeed, The Informer always pukes when equally small-minded media practitioners refer to the likes of Kwame Akuffo as a Constitutional law expert.

Constitutional Law expert indeed!!!

We are sure that the likes of Professor Kofi Kumado have stomach burns when they hear Kwame Akuffo being referred to as constitutional law expert.

It is one thing getting rich by defending all manner of people in society and getting judgment through other means other than sound courtroom arguments; and it is another thing appearing before highly learned justices of the highest court of the land and talking proper law argument.

There are some who think that, PRODUCTIVITY is being affected by the live telecast, and they may have a point.

Honestly, The Informer also believes that PRODUCTIVITY is being affected by the live telecast, but we also believe that whatever PRODUCTIVITY which is being affected, for now, cannot be sacrificed on the altar of a closed door hearing.

“Sebi-taflatse”; is it the productivity of the next few days that will automatically turn Ghana into a first class society? Certainly not!

So, it definitely makes sense for all of us to watch, firsthand, the proceedings as they unfold at the supreme court, so that Akufo-Addo and his goon squads will not engage in any untoward acts after the verdict has gone against the failed NPP flagbearer.

A closed-door hearing would have allowed Akufo-Addo and his lackeys to continue to strut around deceiving Ghanaians into believing that the NDC has no serious legal brains, so as to prime their uneducated and ignorant supporters to misbehave once the verdict goes against Akufo-Addo.

Indeed, The Informer has come across NPP apparatchiks who honestly believe that every lawyer in the NDC is a third class lawyer.

What they don’t know, is that apart from the fact that Akufo-Addo cannot find his law certificates: He had a very bad 3rd Class Degree in Economics before being shipped abroad to attempt at study of law.

Of course, before his 3rd Class in Legon, he was thrown out of Oxford University, for continuously failing his exams.

Thanks to the live telecast, we can see the sheepish face of Bawumia in the witness’ box and can see through his attempt to use falsehood to defend his indefensible case.

Thanks to the live telecast, we can see now Bawumia and his master Akufo-Addo were hoping to deceive the court with cooked-up evidence and false documents. Thanks to live telecast, we know that Bawumia does not know that spoilt ballot papers are part of total ballot papers issued.

Thanks to live telecast, we now know that the NPP polling agents did not sign a single complaint form at any polling station; and that the decision to go to court was an after-thought to allow Akufo-Addo and Jake to hold on to the party, by hoodwinking the gullible supporters into believing that the Electoral Commissioner (EC) stole the verdict for President Mahama.

Thanks to live telecast, we can see that Kwame Akuffo and Egbert Faibille, have been relegated to the background and no longer sitting alongside the Lead Counsel, Philip Addison.

Thanks to live telecast, we can see the way Akufo-Addo continues to wear a forlorn look and fidgeting like a child.

Thanks to life telecast, we can see the frustration in the voice of Philip Addison, when he gets up to defend his clueless and highly INEXPERIENCED witness.

Indeed, thanks to live broadcast, we heard Philip Addison admit that Bawumia is an INEXPERIENCED witness.

So we ask; but for live broadcast, would the nation be getting this invaluable firsthand information?

The answer is a big NO!!!

At least, we can now go to sleep knowing that after the court rules against Akufo-Addo, he would not be able to get morons like Kennedy Agyepong, Maxwell Kofi Jumah and Sammy Awuku, to incite wee-choked and cocaine-induced NPP hoodlums to arm themselves with “wormafunu”, and hit the streets because, even the morons are watching live and know that the NPP does not have a case.
