Dep. Minister-designate cited in contempt audio

According to StarrFMonline.com an audio they have obtained shows that a deputy minister-designate was present during the discussion on a radio that saw two panellists and a programme host on Montie FM jailed for four months.

The Member of Parliament for Nkwanta North John Oti Bless who was nominated by President Mahama as the Deputy Minister-designate of Local Government is on record questioning the actions of the Chief Justice during the 2012 election petition hearing. In the audio Oti Bless also accuses the Chief Justice of helping the NPP since she was appointed in the Kufour era.

“Today we have a CJ who because of a Political favour done her, will do anything to help the NPP. It is an agenda. The electoral commission should stop working and give it to Georgina Woode. And we have a whole CJ, look at how old you are; you have kids and grandchildren and yet you are at the Court doing politics; you deliberately appoint NPP Judges to do politics and scheme with NPP to give biassed rulings. Are you not calling for war? Are you not calling for civil war? Are you not destroying this country?” he quizzed.

He further revealed that the Chief Justice is at loggerheads with one of her staff because they have different political views.

He made all these comments when he appeared on the ‘Pampaso’ political show on June 24, together with Ako Gunn and Alistair Nelson.

Meanwhile, the two other panellists and the host of the show have been found guilty of contempt and handed a four-month jail term by the Supreme court.

When Pulse.com.gh contacted Oti Bless he declined to comment on the issue. “I have nothing to say on this matter,” he said.
