Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ken Vs OSP
Q: Is this a lost cause, as the critics are saying?
It is not a lost cause; there can be a trial even if he is not present in the jurisdiction.
Galamsey Menace, IMANI, OSP On Gold-For-Oil; Reports GHS 7B Leakage
Q: Bright, thank you very much for joining us.
Bright discusses the Gold-for-Oil program's conception and execution, along with potential losses associated with it.
Cocoa Prices, Cedi Stability, GTEC On Fake Degrees
Q: Nana, are you really expecting the 6,000 Ghana cities as promised?
The price is one part of the discussion, but the most important part of the discussion is value addition, what we do with our cocoa such that we benefit.
Election 2024
Q: Is anything wrong with the court relying on depositions in the Speaker's Affidavit?
I don't see any problem with that. The court is entitled to take notice of all matters that have been adduced or filed before it.
Election 2024
Q: What do you make of the argument that the majority was bound to decline the jurisdiction?
The court has jurisdiction to undertake actions, but a party that launches a premature suit has to be thrown out simply because it has no valid suit before the court.
