"At the heart of the First Amendment is the freedom to engage in vigorous public debate, and the Constitution guarantees that citizens, including lawyers, have the right to criticize public officials, including judges."
- Nokofiooo, from the U.S., Ghanafuo.
Has the time now come for judges in Ghana to be made to understand clearly that they are definitely not above criticism, anaaa? And does the latest move against Hon. Ayine by the Chief Justice amounts to witch-hunting, anaaaa? Pure and simple? Some people don't know when to let sleeping dogs lie, koraaaa. Hmmm, eyeasem, ooooo...
The judiciary in this country still doesn't get it: Ghana is neither a dictatorship, nor the personal fiefdom, of a privileged few - whose wish is that we are cowed: to allow their dream-kleptocracy to evolve into a banana republic sans dissenting voices: so that judgement-debts will become the new way to create, loot and share.
This is a liberal democracy, ooooo, surprising though it might be to some - and Ghanaians are free citizens with constitutionally guaranteed rights: not the serfs of our ruling elites. Sod off, wai, Massa. Who born dog? My name is Kofi Thompson - and I fear nobody in Ghana. Let them come and pick me up. Yabr3 wu! Haaba.
