A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communication Team, Tetteh Caternor has expressed delight over the Supreme Court’s decision to dismiss the NDC’s request for interrogatories in the ongoing 2020 Election Petition.
According to him the NDC has no intention to drag its feet and and waste time in the ongoing petition however, they thought it wise that if EC Chair, Jean Mensah had been allowed to answer those questions, it would have rather saved time.
Regardless, he expressed joy at the fact that the court disallowed their request because when they have Madam Jean Mensa in the witness box, they will squarely put those questions to her and still get their responses.
“The CI 99 says that pre-trial issues are for five days. Yesterday was the second day – two days, so what was the time wasting? We haven’t wasted any time. If we requested a review, we still have three more days. Is it our fault that the court hasn’t sat every day of the week?” he asked.
“Be as it may, I am happy that the court struck it out because Jean Mensa would have had the right answers to come give when she enters the witness box. Now, she will have to deal with the questions right there at the moment,” he added.
