Justice William Atuguba has ordered parties involved in the Election Petition to meet and resolve the controversy over the authenticity of pink sheet exhibits tendered by the Petitioners' counsel, Philip Addison. The controversy forced another premature recess early Wednesday after a similar mix-up engendered a premature adjournment yesterday. Philip Addison, Petitioners' counsel accused the three Respondents of making "mountains out of mole hills" as they raised objections to the tendering of the exhibits which he contended had already been filed and were in evidence. But the Respondents claimed the exhibits were fresh and foreign to the original stack of exhibits served on them. On day-32 of hearing, Addison, continuing with his cross-examination, began by suggesting to the witness for the Electoral Commission Dr. Afari-Gyan that despite written protest by polling agents, results of some polling stations were announced. He proceeded to tender exhibits to aid further inquiry into his claim. But Counsel for the EC, Quarshie-Idun, rose to his feet, questioning the authenticity of those exhibits. He claimed the exhibit numbers were different from what they had in their possession. Tony Lithur, counsel for President Mahama and Tsatsu Tsikata, counsel for National Democratic Congress (NDC), first and third respondents respectively, took turns to back the objection. They recycled arguments raised yesterday that the exhibits had different polling station names and codes. Addison countered that the Respondents were “making mountains out of mole hills” because the differences in the numbers were merely due to the electronic numbering process. The Petitioners have said mistakes in the manual numbering of exhibits forced them to abandon it in favour of a more efficient electronic numbering. A judge vented his frustration at how petty issues such as this were dragging the proceedings. He said it was embarrassing that live telecast of proceedings should show petty squabbles between Petitioners and Respondents in the highest court of the land over very insignificant matters. It was also a bad example to young lawyers to witness these daily quarrels, he added. He urged the parties to resolve these simple matters amicably. It is midday and the court remains on recess.
