CAN supports televising of court proceedings
The Conservative Alliance Network (CAN) would like to support
calls for the court proceedings of the challenge to the
presidential election results be covered live in the media.
This matter has generated high interest nationally and
globally. Many public interest cases like the Ghana @ 50, MV
Benjamin, National Reconciliation Commission etc had live
coverage. We believe the challenge to the presidential
election results deserves same or much more coverage since it
bothers on a highly sensitive and critical matter in our
national life. Covering the court proceedings live in media
will only entrench transparency and full participation of the
citizenry.
Ghana has another opportunity to showcase its democratic
maturity and respect for rule of law.
We will like to also commend the New Patriotic Party and its
2012 flag bearer, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo, for resorting
to due process and the courts to resolve such a delicate
matter. Indeed, matters like this have turn otherwise peaceful
nations into war torn countries.
CAN congratulates Ghanaians for the peaceful nature the 2012
presidential and parliamentary elections went despite the
challenges recorded on the first day of voting.
Finally, we call on Ghanaians to remain calm and observe as
the court proceeding progress.
Love Live Democracy.
Long Live Ghana.
