Mr Tsatsu Tsikata, former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation whose five- year conviction was quashed by the Court of Appeal says he had found justice in the court.
Reacting to the decision of the Court of Appeal decision Mr Tsikata said he agreed with the court that a pardon was different from an appeal and that he had suffered substantial miscarriage of justice.
According to him, he rejected the pardon by former President John Agyekum Kufour in 2008, saying it was done in bad faith.
Mr Tsikata thanked his family, counsels for their immersed support over the years, adding justice had returned to the court.
He said: “Life continues. By the Grace of God I am still alive.”
Madam Esther Cobbah Chief Executive Officer of STRACOM African and wife of Mr Tsikata described God as “Just God” and urged those who do not know him to try him.
Madam Cobbah said God was watching, adding: “I give him the Glory. We go to man for favour but we go to God for Justice.”
Mr Tsikata was acquitted and discharged by the Court of Appeal and his conviction was quashed by the court on Wednesday.
On June 18, 2008, a High Court in Accra sentenced him to five years imprisonment for willfully causing financial loss to the state to the tune of GH₵ 230, 000 as well as misapplying public property.
After his pardon, Mr Tsikata appealed against his conviction and sentence saying he had suffered a miscarriage of justice.

I hope u had accorded Lt Gen Afrifa Gen IK Acheampong Akuffo and the rest the opportunity ur having now by murdering them
Dear All, Let calm nerves prevail. The Courts have spoken in the same manner the Courts did when he was convicted.Everyone has a right and choices to make. He decided how to win his cases and he has however the Court of public opinion is awaiting him. These days the test for honesty is to win your case when your opponent is prosecuting you and not when your government refuses to defend cases or appear to present weak cases so one of their own can sail through. The only respect he has left is his political supporters who will back him even if he is murderer. That is his choice and this is also my view. Free country.

Why didn't you appeal at the time when u were jailed? You had that right, even in jail you could have appealed. You know when you can manoeuvre the system and get what u want. We will send the matter to the Supreme Court when we come.
