We wish you a HAPPY CELEBRATION AND THANKSGIVING on your 90th Birthday and pray that the good Lord continues to prosper you and your family in the years ahead. Mr. Justice J. C. Amonoo-Monney is a shining example of honour, integrity, and selfless public service and a witness to the wonderful things God has done for Ghana and humanity. I collaborated with Justice Amonoo-Monney at the Ministry of Justice and Attorney-General’s Department and I can affirm his humility, honesty, and integrity in the service of our homeland Ghana.

But for the folly of the NDC and the Speaker of Parliament, the House would have been in session and holding the Chief Justice’s administrative action of closing the High Court and other courts in Bolgatanga and its environs to account for her actions on the spurious reasons assigned and the unprecedented nature of her action in the history of Ghana taken so close to an election on 7 December 2024 that must be free, fair, and transparent under the 1992 Constitution.

The Kabuki dance of writing a letter numbered PS/DC/24/234 dated 18 October 2024 to the Registrar of the Supreme Court returning Court processes to the Registrar and applying to the same Court to set aside its ruling and orders is over. The Speaker has no authority to hold the nation to ransom by obstructing the functioning of the constitutional system or any of the arms of government during the pendency of a constitutional matter before the Supreme Court. The Speaker needs to show cognitive maturity now! 

The Speaker of Parliament needs to think long before side stepping the orders of the Supreme Court through subterfuges to preside over pushing the 1992 Constitution into the inferno of implosion instead of defending it as his oath of office and the Constitution demands. The stability and survival of the Fourth Republic of Ghana must take precedence over transactional politics, opportunism, and adventurism by groups of political elites bent on serving parochial and short-term self interests instead of the interest of the citizens of Ghana.

The 2024 elections in Ghana must be fought and won on the integrity, honesty and policy programmes of the various candidates and their political parties. The unnecessary hyping of national tensions and promotion of violence which has the propensity to implode the 1992 Constitution just for the sake of raw power for its own sake without the interests of the citizens at heart must stop. Beware of 4 June 1979! Beware of 31 December 1981! None of the two major political parties will win when they undermine and facilitate the implosion of the 1992 Constitution.

An OSP Airbus SE report containing an objective evaluation and assessment of the evidential facts available to the OSP as of November 2020 as shown hereinbefore would have served the constitutional requirement of probity and accountability in public life by the OSP. Did the investigation and prosecution divisions partake in processes leading to the 8 August 2024 OSP report or was it a one-man enterprise? We need to know!

The content of the 8 August 2024 OSP report is subjective, a gargantuan hoax, and hollow, and does great disservice to former President Mahama by creating the perception of the OSP dabbling in the politics of election interference for the greedy self-serving interest of the OSP. It is in the interest of former President Mahama to insist on having a thorough and professional investigation that exonerates or inculpates the suspects and not this cooked one.

I exercised my right as a citizen of Ghana to bring the petition myself and I have no regrets for doing so despite the rigged outcome smacking of the exercise of the relics of imperial medieval powers. I am, however, confident that history shall absolve me when the content of my petition and the review submitted by the Chief Justice become available to the public for its evaluation. When the vendetta and trials of mere suspects in the court of public opinion start again, the utility of my petition will be remembered.

The mandatory within thirty days for the Chief Justice to determine whether there was a prima facie case by my calculations expired on 6 June 2024. The fourteen days within which she was to set up a committee should she determine a prima facie case expired before today, 20 June 2024. Joy FM is not telling the public whether a prima facie case was determined within the thirty days or not, and whether a committee has been set up within fourteen days thereafter or not. Whosoever the petitioner is has a right to be informed soonest that no prima facie case has been made by the petition.

I am not a coward or a liar in the terms of the question posed by Michela Wrong in her seminal book on corruption – “It’s Our Turn to Eat.” Like German Reich Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, I am quite happy to be called a coward because my strategic and tactical objectives are beyond their comprehension. Kofi Attor, the Speaker of Parliament’s Chief of Staff, also knows that I am not a liar. As a shot across the bow, Joy FM and Kofi Attor may wish to read the tip of the iceberg reported on: Alban Bagbin admits he is corrupt (audio) - Graphic Online. The evidence has always been in plain view all over the internet.
