And as if by magic and predicted by the learned Judges, we have the usual suspects crying about how their nation has lowered their personal self worth, pointing abroad like abroad has all the answers, in an attempt to balance some kind of equation in their Accranized heads. What you might ask do they want ? We appoint new supreme court judges to suit their every whim? We suspend all laws which hinder their point of view ? We saw three special guests enter into the court room today to apologize , to apologize you must first admit guilt , that is the nature of apology , you need no law degree ask your mum. I saw no one jumping up and down claiming their free speech was taken away, did you see anyone say "I stand by what I said"? no we saw one apply ifs buts and maybes to his apology, again no law degree needed ask your mum she will inform you what an apology is. We have a law, its our law its all we have so tough . #Ghana From Our Constitution : FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT AND FREEDOMS 14.
