A founder-member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has strongly condemned the manner in which the party is being handled.
According to Ghana’s former Ambassador to Serbia and Montenegro, the NPP which was founded by disciplined and morally upright people is now in the hands of bootlickers and rascals.
Speaking on Accra based Starr Fm yesterday, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe said the manner in which his party is maneuvering to hold on to power is dangerous and risks disaster for the country.
“The NPP had lost its way with respect to current structures. Elections to me have been meaningless. It’s no more a democratic exercise. A party that was founded by disciplined people is now in the hands of bootlickers and rascals. What’s happening now is not democracy”, he stressed.
Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe also slammed the decision by the Electoral Commissioner chair to evade cross-examination in the ongoing election petition.
“If we are not careful, the people of this country will lose faith in the Judicial system and it’s serious. If we are not careful, what happened in Myanmar can happen here… I’m not a judge and I have never been a student of the law but common sense should tell you that you should judge the mood of the people.
“Afari Gyan with all his challenges went into the witness box and testified. What is happening in this country at the moment is frightening. We know what we’ve gone through and it’s like as a nation we’ve forgotten where we’re coming from.”
Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe also bemoaned the manner in which major parties had made the pursuit of power a do or die affair. ”Each party is maneuvering to stay in power.
The Supreme Court yesterday heard legal arguments from parties involved in the 2020 Election Petition on whether the chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) Jean Mensa should mount the witness box to testify or not.
After the Petitioner John Dramani Mahama had closed his case after calling three witnesses, the lawyer for the EC said they intend not to call any more witnesses.
According to Justin Amenuvor, a lawyer for the EC, the Petitioner has not made any case as far as the petition is concerned and therefore wish to wave the rights to call any witness, even though Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the EC has had a witness statement filed on her behalf.
Akoto Ampaw, counsel for the 2nd Respondent also gave an indication that they intend not to call any witness despite Peter Mac Manu, filing a witness statement.
Lead counsel for the Petitioner, Tsatsu Tsikata said, the EC Chairperson cannot run away from cross-examination and ought to mount the witness box.
The court after hearing the parties directed the parties to make a legal argument on Tuesday for the court to decide on it.
