According to the Counsel, Chris Akumey, the contempt charges against his clients are serious and deserved massive attention.

“We are waiting for the service [of the summons]. But then it is common knowledge as of now that the matter has been scheduled for July 12. We have taken notice of it and whether served or not served as the law requires we will be in court,” Mr Akumey told Accra-based Joy FM.

The judges subsequently issued a warrant for them to appear before them and answer to the charge of contempt.

This was after two political commentators; Alistair Nelson and Godwin Ako Gunn appeared the radio station and tried to incite people against the Supreme Court judges for their judgment on the Voters’ register.

An audio recording of their comments have since gone viral on social media with the Media Foundation for West Africa condemning their conduct.

The host of the show Mugabe Maase is being accused of allowing the two men to go ahead with their comments uninterrupted.

One of the panelist has sinceapologised for the comments.Deputy Interior minister James Agalga has also indicated the preparedness of the security forces to beef up security for the judges.
