Spokesperson for New Patriotic Party's (NPP) legal team, Yaw Boabeng Asamoah has bemoaned the laborious nature of the cross-examination by lead counsel of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Tsatsu Tsikata. He said throughout Mr. Tsikata’s "boring and time wasting" cross-examination, he was not been able to incriminate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, key witness of the petitioners in the Presidential Election Petition case. Tsatsu Tsikata on day ten of the Election Petition before the Supreme Court went on a mission to unravel the mystery behind the duplication of pink sheets by the petitioners. He argued that the petitioners presented a "duplication, triplication and quadruplication” pink sheets just to deceive the court. However, Dr.Bawumia repeatedly told the court that in spite the duplication, only one exhibit was used in the final analysis. The slow pace of the cross-examination attracted a subtle protest from the presiding Judge, Justice William Atuguba who offered a personal suggestion to Mr. Tsikata for an expeditious trial. Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Thursday, Yaw Boabeng Asamoah said Tsatsu’s time wasting tactics has been exposed by the court. According to him, the NDC is doing everything possible to ensure the case persistS to enable President Mahama complete his four year tenure in power. Boabeng Asamoah said Tsatsu Tsikata has failed all NDC members who hailed him as a legal luminary because he has not been able to discredit the NPP’s evidence before the court. "The court is not happy; the spectators including the NDC are not happy. Two days of Tsatsu’s cross-examination the court is virtually empty". He said the only good thing Mr. Tsikata has been able to achieve throughout his two-day cross-examination is to put the NDC General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia to sleep. The NPP man sarcastically alleged that Asiedu Nketia dozed-off throughout Tsatsu's cross-examination and only open his eyes when the court went on recess. He said Mr. Tsikata’s claim that the pink sheets have been duplicated is not tenable because "at the end of the day the court is going to audit the pink sheets based on the accepted irregularities, omission and violations so if there are duplicates they would take it out and count only one". Boabeng Asamoah maintained that the petitioners have a solid case in court hence he is confident the Supreme Court will rule in their favour. On the contrary, Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Kofi Adams pooh poohed Boabeng Asamoah’s claims. He said Asiedu Nketia sleeping in court is no news because "if I also get the opportunity I will sleep". He could not fathom why the polling stations the NPP are challenging in court does not include areas won by their 2012 presidential candidate Nana Akufo-Addo. Kofi Adams said the NDC will expose the double standards of the petitioners before the case ends.
