Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied – Akufo-Addo Lawyer Counters Tsikata
One of the lawyers of President Akufo-Addo in the ongoing election petition hearing has brushed aside claims by lead counsel for the petitioners in the Election Petition, Tsatsu Tsikata that the Supreme court should not sacrifice justice for expedition.
In his response to Mr Tsikata, he noted that justice delayed is justice denied.
Tsikata, had told the Supreme Court that much as the court may want to stick to the timelines specified in C.I 99 for the adjudication of election petitions, it should not be done in disregard of justice.
However, addressing the media after proceedings, Mr Frank Davies said “What is meant by sacrificing justice on the altar of expedition?
“Justice delayed is justice denied. So what is it? They are just not ready. They were advocating for a live broadcast of proceedings and now everybody is seeing what is happening in court. Everyday lead counsel for the petitioners is making one complaint or the other.
“You cannot blame the failure of a bad farm on your tools of implementation. Your farm is your farm and it depends on how you cultivate it so we should not ponder over this repeated rhetoric of sacrificing justice for expedition.”
