Should the media be blamed for a politician�s contemptuous statements after the Supreme Court has issued a warning for all to be circumspect in their speech so as not to bring the credibility of the court to opprobrium? Well, Deputy National Propaganda Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Solomon Nkansah, says yes and strongly blames Madina-based private radio station, Oman FM for the General Secretary of NPP, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie�s impending predicament. According him, no media house would have allowed the embattled NPP General Secretary to utter such invectives except the �Anti-NDC� radio station owned by the outspoken NPP Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong. �Sir John is a good footballer in politics and always a serious minded person. The trouble he has landed himself into is because of NPP, where he (Sir John) made that statement is even worse. They have led him into that serious trouble�the station (Oman FM) led him into that. Sir John will not have been in that trouble if he was speaking on another station,� he avers. Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, aka Sir John is facing the wrath of the Supreme Court for potentially contemptuous statements he allegedly made against members of the panel hearing the presidential election petition case. Sir John is reported to have singled out Justice Atuguba on a political discussion programme, dubbed �Boiling Point� on Oman FM, describing him �as a hypocritical joker who pampers the counsel for the National Democratic Congress, (Tsatsu Tsikata), but habitually scolds the counsel for the NPP (Philip Addison)�. In a tape that was played on many radio stations in the country, the NPP bigwig descended on the bench, in his reaction to public comments on the proceedings in the ongoing presidential election petition describing the court action as an attempt to cow people from expressing their views. �Do they think we are stupid, you sit there and frown like a voodoo deity, when Addison is talking you shut him down and beat him with sticks but when it comes to Tsatsu, when he gets angry, you ask him apologetically if he is angry - Tsikata�s cross extermination was for how many days, didn�t Atuguba and co see that the questions he was asking were nonsensical?� portions of the controversial Sir John�s tape indicate. He again asserted that the conduct of the Supreme Court Judges in the infamous Sammy Awuku incident was appalling and must be condemned. Discussing the issue on Adom FM, Solomon Nkansah prayed that though the court has summoned Sir John to justify his comments, he will not be incarcerated.
