A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) legal team, Abraham Amaliba, has raised objections to claims by Tsatsu Tsikata that Justice Anin-Yeboah has been consistent in voting against pleadings of the respondents in the just ended presidential election petition. �One area I don�t agree with Tsatsu is where he said a judge voted consistently. I have seen the interlocutory applications and the interlocutory matters; judges voted differently,�� he said. Speaking on Citi Fm�s news analysis program, The Big Issue, Mr. Amaliba pointed out that per the evidence of proceedings at the Supreme Court, Tsatsu Tsikata �got it wrong� on some of his accusations. �I am being frank on this matter; on that score he [Tsatsu Tsikata] says that a particular judge voted consistently, I disagree with Tsatsu on that matter,� he told show host Richard Sky, adding �there were judges who also veered and went and came back��� But Mr. Amaliba also said it was unfair to limit the matter to Mr Tsikata. According to him, Mr Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko of the Danquah Institute (DI) also made potentially damaging comments about the Supreme Court judgment , which affirmed John Mahama as having been validly elected President in the 2012 elections. �It is disgusting to just limit the matter to Tsatsu; we have one Asare Otchere Darko who virtually condemned the entire bench and we are not hearing that.� Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata has faced widespread condemnation for singling out Justice Anin-Yeboah for attack over his stance in the overall judgment of the Supreme Court on the election petition. He accused the judge of being politically biased in his rulings.
