NDC's Kpesa Whyte Finally Apologizes For Insulting Supreme Court

Dr. Michael Kpessa-Whyte, a former NDC parliamentary candidate and lecturer at the University of Ghana, has apologized for allegedly disparaging the Supreme Court.

Dr. Kpessa-Whyte has apologized for his comments after calling the Supreme Court a "Stupid Court" in a recent Twitter tweet.

He also slammed Ghana's court in his tweet, charging it of being politicized and lacking common sense.

Dr. Kpessa-Whyte's tweets were sent out immediately after the Supreme Court instructed Parliament to strike James Gyakye Quayson's name from its records for procedural violations that occurred during his nomination and appointment.

The Supreme Court summoned Dr. Kpessa-Whyte to explain why he should not be held in contempt for describing the nation’s highest judicial body in such a manner.

In a statement, Dr. Kpessa-Whyte clarified that he did not intend to denigrate the Supreme Court and offered his unreserved apology.

He stated that he had no reason to slander the court and acknowledged any pain or discomfort his tweets may have caused the Chief Justice, the Supreme Court, and the entire judiciary.

“Please permit me to state unequivocally that I have no reason to slander our Supreme Court, and I hereby sincerely apologise unreservedly for any pain and discomfort my tweets may have caused the Chief Justice, the Supreme Court, and the entire judiciary.

“I hereby retract the tweet in question; accordingly, the tweet has been deleted completely, and I pray for forgiveness.
