Supreme Court cites Kpessa Whyte for contempt of 'dumb court' term 





A lecturer at the University of Ghana and a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor Michael Kpessa Whyte has been cited by the Supreme Court for contempt.

This interrupts a series of tweets by Professor Whyte on May 19. The letter alleges that he included the following; 

“The highest court in the landhas been turned into a 'dumb court'.


They managed to turn theSupreme Court into a Court of Stupidity. Intelligence is now a rare commodity. 

“One of the main things that die in democracy is participation in the maintenance of justice.

Our judges need instruction in political philosophy and ethics. "Time will tell." 


He will appear in the country's highest court on May 30 to show cause that he should not be held in contempt of court for insulting the Supreme Court, mocking the dignity, respectand dignity of the Supreme Court and inciting prejudice against the Supreme Court.

Added to this call is the publication of the series of publications of various portals from Prof. Tweet de Whyte. 


Prof. Whyte's comments came amid heated public debate overthe Supreme Court's order in parliament to remove James Gyakye Quayson's name from his record after it was discovered he had not renounced his Canadian citizenship while filing. his nomination to contest Assin North election in 2020.

Even before appearing in court, the speaker has issued a statement asking the court for forgiveness. He also clarified that his tweet had nothing to do with the Assin North case.

“I have noticed that Ghanaweb and other media have wantedto link my tweet to the decision of the Supreme Court in the Assin North case as stated inthe front of the subpoena, but frankly at the time of my tweet, I had no knowledge of. Supreme Court decision at 9:59 when I tweeted. The said tweet invokes the authority of the Apex Court in our country to come forward and express myself as the tweet has offended the Apex Court of our country and brought the dignity of the Court into disrepute.

Of course, the tweet was not made with the intention of criticizing or criticizing such an honorable institution as the Supreme Court of Ghana which I have great respect and admiration for. These are theconsequences I did not intend, and although I accept the responsibility, I should have shown better judgment in my choice of words.

Let me state frankly that I have no reason to criticize our Supreme Court, and I apologize unreservedly for any pain and discomfort my tweets may have caused the Chief Justice, TheSupreme Court and the judicial system. I here remove the tweet and question; As a result,the tweet has been completelydeleted and I apologize.
