The incongruous cry baby again… – Thaddeus Sory writes

Cry Baby's Latest Outburst: A Response

This will be direct and straightforward. The Cry Baby needs another lesson. Each time he ignores the last one, the next must be harder.

Mr. Incongruous Cry Baby shows no shame. After a quiet period, he is screaming again. This time, he chose Joy FM’s Top Story programme to vent.

Without any remorse, Cry Baby lamented: “The NDC government politicized this process.” He pointed to the lawyers for the petitioners. They include Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata and Mr. Thaddeus Sory, both linked to the NDC.

That claim is indeed incongruous. Who represents the Suspended Chief Justice? Mr. Cry Baby has appeared in two of four suits about his removal.

You were appointed Deputy Attorney-General by former President Nana Akufo-Addo. That appointment was hardly a coincidence. Your rise to Attorney-General was even more surprising.

Do you remember the NPP lawyers who surrounded you? They were with you during Supreme Court proceedings on vacant seats—not as a private lawyer but as Attorney-General.

Yet, without any moral scruples, you accuse me of bias because I represent Dan Ofori? I took on that case long before the suspended Chief Justice became a judge.

Let me remind you of my legal background: Mr. Ambrose Dery was my pupil master. We defended Mallam Yusuf Isa, appointed by President Kufuor.

I spent a night at Police Headquarters with Hon. O.B. Amoah during a sensitive case. I also defended accused persons in the Issa Mobila trial—a key issue for late President Mills.

Kulendi @ Law can confirm my support in the Ghana @ 50 case. Were those accused NDC officials?

Ask Hon. Kwaku Kwarteng; I represented him in a political matter against perceived anti-NDC sentiments. None of these cases involved the NDC, yet you label me partisan.

I am bound by Rule 65 of our legal ethics to represent anyone who hires me—except under certain conditions. If your view is always through an NDC lens, I feel sorry for you.

In light of all this, Mr. Cry Baby boasted: “I have stood up for the judiciary.” Your current battle is not principled; it’s self-preservation.

During your Joy FM interview, Evans Mensah noted your suspicious appearance before the Supreme Court led by the suspended Chief Justice—now claiming principle?

As Attorney-General, you benefited from many controversial decisions in politically charged cases without scrutiny that others faced before.

For clarity: I went against my principles and defended the judiciary publicly despite being involved in related matters—without seeking recognition.

And yet again, you declared: “Good men must stand up for what is right.” If everyone acted like you, where would good men be fighting your so-called righteous cause?

How can a Minister for Justice:
- Defend an ex parte order granted within two hours?
- Communicate directly with an accused person behind their counsel's back?
- Coach an accused person to implicate someone else?

Your initial injunction in the Assafuah proxy case was dismissed; now you've filed another one with proper parties involved—the audacity is staggering!

No Attorney-General has contributed more to low public trust in our judiciary than you have while boasting about never losing a case—what has changed?

How did your legal skills improve just because you became Attorney-General? Now that you're less mystified by that office, you're clinging to a narrow loss as some moral victory because it wasn’t unanimous?

Let me say this clearly: stop throwing tantrums! The next "knock" may not be gentle—it could hit hard like a sledgehammer! Don’t be foolish!
