A member of the New Patriotic Party�s communications team, Hopeson Adorye has called on former Supreme Court judge, Justice Kpegah to flee from using �fair or foul means� to tarnish the hard-earned image of Nana Akufo Addo just to get a ministerial appointment from President Mahama. �Justice Kpegah is a former Supreme Court judge - instead of him concentrating on becoming a national asset for the nation, he has become a liability�, he claimed. Justice Francis Yaonasu Kpegah on Tuesday March 19, at an Accra High Court sued Nana Akufo-Addo for holding himself as a lawyer when his name was not on the roll of lawyers in Ghana. According to Justice Kpegah, evidence available to him from different sources including the General Legal Council proves that Nana Akufo Addo is not a lawyer as he claims but impersonating one W.A.D Akufo Addo who is on the roll of lawyers as No. 1190. He also indicated that checks from the Ghana School of Law confirms that Nana Akufo Addo has never signed the matriculation book to prove that he was enrolled in the Ghanaian law school. But Hopeson Adorye slammed Justice Kpegah for taking a duplicitous stance when there is evidence to prove that he has used literature published by Nana Akufo Addo, the 2012 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, to lecture his law students. The Young Patriots� stalwart also maintained that the former Supreme Court judge had become a �liability� to the nation instead of becoming a national asset. �He is struggling for President Mahama to take notice of him and give him a post. He is trying to gain recognition from the president through fair or foul means�, he added.
