We have learned in the last few hours that President Kufuor has issued an unconditional pardon to Tsatsu Tsikata in the dying hours of his administration.
The Campaign has on several occasions stated its stark opposition to any presidential pardon. We believe that the prosecution and conviction of Mr. Tsikata represents a rank abuse of power and corruption of the legal system for political and personal vendetta.
The perpetrators of this injustice will not be allowed to get away with their active attempts to subvert judicial and constitutional processes.
The “Free Absolute And Unconditional Pardon”, that the President has granted to Mr. Tsikata on his last day in office is as offensive as the manipulation of the judiciary by the executive and confirms the injustice done to Mr. Tsikata.
Mr. Tsikata is currently receiving medical treatment at the Cardiothoracic Centre at the Korle-Bu Teaching hospital and is pursuing his appeal against the conviction on June 18, 2008 by Mrs. Henrietta Abban.
Issued by Mr Kwesi Pratt, Jnr. For Convener
