One of the NDC\u2019s legal heavyweights,lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata, who has been acclaimed to exhume \u2018bloated\u2019 knowledge and stand as the NPP\u2019s nemesis when it comes to legal issues, has been described as an expert when it comes to delaying court proceedings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Asamoah Gyamfi, who spoke on Okay FM\u2019s Ghana Decides<\/strong> programme, cast a slur on Tsikata\u2019s reputation as a lawyer, by making inferences to suggest he (Tsatsu Tsikata) was a legal luminary specialized in the field of stalling important court proceedings.<\/p>\n

Asamoah Gyamfi\u2019s decision to go hard on Lawyer Tsikata comes on the heels of the latter\u2019s \u201cplot\u201d, to \u201cdeliberately<\/strong>\u201d drag the court\u2019s feet by making submissions he knows would require formal petition before the judges could grant him a go ahead.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court on 30th January, 2013, by an 8 to 1 majority decision or ruling stopped Tsatsu Tsikata; counsel for NDC in the electoral dispute from making submission on whether petitioners in the case should be allowed to provide particulars of their allegations of irregularities in 4,709 polling stations.<\/p>\n

The decision was taken after the petitioners lead counsel, Philip Addison objected to Tsikata\u2019s attempt to make submissions on the matter.Lawyer Addison said Tsikata should not make any submission on the matter because the matter was brought forth by the Electoral Commission (EC) and John Mahama\u2019s lawyers who had made Applications to that effect.<\/p>\n

He said without Tsikata \u2018applying formally\u2019 in written form, he cannot make submissions on it.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court Judges by 8 to 1 majority decision restrained Tsikata to that effect.<\/p>\n
