Lead Counsel for the petitioner in the ongoing presidential election petition hearing, Mr Tsatsu Tsikata apologised to the chairperson of the 1st respondent in the case, Jean Mensah after stating that ‘she sunk so low.’
“To talk about grievances of being served tea respectfully that is such a lack of truthfulness in terms of how the evidence came in,” Tsikata said while making a case to subpoena madam Jean Mensah.
[Rojo Metle-Nunoo] did not express a grievance here that they served tea and not biscuits. It was out of question and he answered truthfully.
“For the chair person to descend into such triviality which was brought on by cross-examination of her own counsel that shows the depth to which she has sunk,” he added.
However, Chief Justice Anin Yeboah chipped in and said “Mr Tsikata the practice is that you lawyers draft affidavit in applications so please don’t let us go that far”.
Another justice who wasn’t happy with Mr Tsikata’s utterances asked him to apologise.
Following this, Mr Tsikata said “I withdraw the statement about the depth to which she has sunk. I apologize that I used unduly strong language and I apologize to the chairperson of the 1st respondent”
