The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, has stated that Lawyer Benoni Tony Amekudze would have been shot dead immediately after stepping out of court because he has wasted the time of the highest Court of the land, if we were in the primitive ages.
According to him, Lawyer Amekudze was only allowed to present his application before the Supreme Court Judges sitting on the on-going election petition trial because the law allows it, but if it was in the �olden days, he would have been shot immediately after the court because he has wasted everyone�s time, but it is not so these days and for the fact that he has legal backing to appear before the court, we would accept it�.
The out-spoken NPP General Secretary made this claim on Asempa FM during the assessment of Tuesday May 28, 2013 court proceedings in which an application of Lawyer Benoni Amekudze in the highest court of the land was dismissed.
Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie who is also known as Sir John was especially elated with the Supreme Court�s decision to quash the "Amicus Curiae" brief application by Lawyer Amekudze, which he believes should not have been started in the first place because it has done nothing but waste the precious time of Ghanaians and the Court.
�I am very happy that he cannot bring any application which would waste our time before the court again,� he added.
