Lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata is noted for slamming brakes on justice delivery in Ghana, if my observations about him are nothing but true.
I have watched him with keen interest and concern in some of his recent court cases.
He comes across as not a serious lawyer who believes in proper dispensation of justice based on facts and credible, permissible and acceptable evidence but fatuous technicalities.
No lawyer worth his salt would have taken up the nonsensical claim by former President John Mahama to have won presidential election 2020 without presenging any shred of evidence.
However, upon all the obvious to the contrary, with the ensemble of the disgrace and folly by his principal witnesses, Tsatsu was insisting to have the Supreme Court see sense in John Mahama’s utterly silly claims.
Tsatsu was trying through the adoption of delay tactics by applications of senseless motions in the hope of landing a technicality that could win his client the case.
Tried as he did his hardest to delay the case, knowing very well that he was fighting a losing battle, the final delivery of judgment confirmed how hollow he is as a lawyer.
Any lawyer of integrity would have advised John Mahama not to pursue the court case since he had not, and could not provide any credible evidence but sheer propaganda intended to incite his supporters for all dangerous populist views.
However, Tsatsu took up the case and when the truth came to slap him in the face after all his intentional tactical delays failing, he probably joined the uninformed NDC foot soldiers to accuse the Supreme Court judges of unfairness to his client.
Today, again, same Tsatsu Tsikata has taken up the case of the NDC member of parliament, Gyekye Quaison. This man by the evidence already in the public domain is suggestive that he was a dual Canadian/Ghanaian national at the time of filing his application to contest for the parliamentary seat of Assin North Constituency on the ticket of the NDC.
The Ghana constitution states it clearly how it is forbidden for a dual national to file application to become a member of parliament in Ghana or seek to serve Ghana in certain capacities.
A case precedent has shown how that law is enforced in Ghana to the letter and spirit of that constitutional clause.
Check the NPP Sakande’s case. He was the MP for Bawku Central, winning the seat in the 2008 election. He ended up in prison for winning the seat while he was a British/Ghanaian national.
With the end result being too obvious jn Gyekye’s case, why is Tsatsu seeking to delay the trial of the case through his usual deplorable tactics?
A lawyer of such character is nor a credible lawyer that l love to see their sort abound in Ghana.
Such are lawyers probably slowing the delivery of justice in Ghana hence the abundance of lawlessness and crimes to the detriment of the progress of the country.
