The Information Minister, Hon. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has advised the public not to place premium on comments passed by former President John Mahama when it comes to matters relating to law.
The minister in a studio interview on Movement TV’s Bekyere Mu Show hosted by Gordon Asare-Bediako, stated that “when you hear Mahama talking about the law, brush it aside, don’t place premium on it”.
Hon. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah was reacting to statements by the former President that the trial case against James Gyakye Quayson by the High Court is absurd.
Mr. Mahama said is on record to have said that “now the court is saying he should come to court everyday, even criminals who commit crimes are not treated this way. NAM 1’s case has been in court for six years now. This case is not even heard on a daily basis. And so why Gyakye? Has he committed murder? Has he stolen someone’s money. If they like, they should get him a bed in the court, even on the day of elections, if he’s not present, he will still win”.
But Hon. Nkrumah responded to the comments by exposing the lies in it. He stressed that anytime any member of the NDC wants to talk law, they end up turning the facts upside down.
“They (NDC) took us to the Supreme Court claiming that in the 2020 election, first, won it. Second, they came back saying nobody won it. So they were called to come and prove it at court. They came there to turn the law upside down it even got to a point Asiedu Nketia was given a calculator to do his own calculation…they even said they didn’t bring their numbers to court”.
