ADDISON: SIGNING OF PINK SHEETS IS A CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENT. YES MY LORD AFARI GYAN. ADDIOSN: AT WHAT POINT IS THE PINK SHEET. AFTER THE BALLOTS HAD BEEN COUNTED AND DECLARED. ADDISON: WHAT IS THE REASON FOR SIGNING. TO AMONG OTHER THINGS AUTHENTICATE THE RESULTS, AFARI GYAN ANSWERS. THE PRESIDING OFFICER HAS TO SIGN BEFORE HANDING IT OVER TO THE RETURNING OFFICER. ADDISON: IN THE EVENT THAT THE PRESIDING AGENT DOES NOT SIGN, DOES IT INVALIDATE THE RESULTS. NO AFARI GYAN ANSWERS. ADDISON SUGGESTS TO THE WITNESS THAT THERE ARE 1,700 PINK SHEETS THAT ARE UNSIGNED AND NOT THE 905 AS THE EC WOULD HAVE THE WORLD BELIEVE. AFARI GYAN SAYS HE WOULD HAVE CROSS CHECK AND BE SURE. AFARI GYAN EXPLAINS THAT THERE ARE CASES WHERE THE PRESIDING OFFICER IS MADE TO SIGN THE PINK SHEET ON THE ORDERS OF THE RETURNING OFFICER WHO IS TO RECEIVE THE PINK SHEET AT WHICH THE DUPLICATE COPIES MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN GIVEN TO THE PARTIES. ADDISON PROBES FURTHER BY SAYING THAT PER THE ANALOGY GIVEN BY THE WITNESS IT COULD BE POSSIBLE FOR THE PETITIONERS TO HAVE UNSIGNED DUPLICATED PINK SHEETS WHOSE ORIGINAL MAY HAVE BEEN SIGNED LATER BY THE EC OFFICIALS. AFARI GYAN SAYS ITS POSSIBLE. ADDISON PROVIDES A BUNCH OF PINK SHEET EXHIBITS TO BE IDENTIFIED. QUARHIE IDUN SAYS HE WOULD NOT ALLOW HIS WITNESS TO BE CONFRONTED WITH THE SET OF THE EXHIBITS BECAUSE THE EXHIBIT NUMBERS PROVIDED BY THE PETITIONERS DO NOT CORRESPOND WITH THOSE AT THEIR DISPOSAL. TSATSU TSIKATA ANS TONY LITHUR COMPLAINS OF THE SAME ANOMALY.
