To that extent, invoking the Supreme Court over this matter is wrong,&#8221; Justice Atuguba said<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/41df61854ab2482293b75e68ca6e9c3c\"\/>.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyer Maurice Ampaw disagree with the former Supreme Court judge and the wrong utterances he made about the current supreme Court ruling. &#8220;You reduced Sammy Awuku to his size when you were a Presiding judge at the Supreme.
