Dr Clement Apaak
Convener for the Coalition of Ghanaian Voters, Dr Clement Apaak has said the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie must be hauled before the Supreme Court for his unsavory attacks on the court and the person of the President of the panel of Judges.
According to Dr Apaak the comments of the NPP General Secretary cannot be excused especially since he was a lawyer and a leader in opposition NPP. ?As a party leader and lawyer, his pronouncement cannot be excused and he must face the full rigor of the law.? ?No one is above the law,? he added.
Speaking on Citi Eyewitness News, Dr Apaak said he is not trying to tell the Supreme Court what to do but believes Mr. Owusu Afriyie also has to answer questions foe the attack on the court and the Presiding judge.
Dr. Apaak also said the comments of Sir John [ Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie] on an Accra based radio program called Boiling Point was intimidating.
Meanwhile Justice William Atuguba, President of the panel of judges hearing the election petition on Monday hinted the court will consider the utterances of the NPP General Secretary, ?Sir John? and others for contempt.
Justice Atuguba made reference to a front-page publication by the Enquirer newspaper in which Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie also known as ?Sir John? is reported to have made contemptuous statements in respect of the justices.
