Election Petition: The Moment Tsatsu Tsikata Accused SC Judge Of Harassing His Witness (VIDEO)
Lead Counsel for the petitioners in the ongoing election petition hearing, Tsatsu Tsikata, on Tuesday 2nd February 2021 accused one of the Supreme Court Judges of harassing his witness, Dr Michael Kpessa-Whyte.
Dr Kpessa-Whyte who is the second witness for the Petitioner, John Mahama, took his turn in the witness box on Tuesday and after cross-examination by lawyers for the 1st and 2nd respondent, the panel had some questions to ask.
One of the Judges, Justice Apau felt Dr Kpessa-Whyte did not take his work seriously after the latter told the court that the NDC representatives in the strong room left to go and see John Mahama following a direction from the chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensah.
“Then seriously speaking you did not take your training seriously. I want to be clear, you have gone to do a particular job, then instead of doing the particular job that sent you there you take instructions from somebody, then you leave your job. That is what I want to find that you did not help the petitioner.”
Tsatsu Tsikata however accused him of harassing his witness.
“In terms of what the petitioner did and why he did it, he has answered the question so I don’t think he can be harassed with these opinions.”
