General Secretary for the New Patriotic Party, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, has weighed in on the altercation that cropped up between Lawyer Philip Addison and Justice Atuguba on Wednesday; stating that the presiding judge had been unfair to their lead counsel. �Who the heck is Tsikata for the court to pamper him...the judges use a cotton stick to beat him and attack Addison with a pestle. Anytime Addison is up to make a comment, some of the judges frown as if they have a problem with him�, he said. Speaking in an interview with Okay FM, Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie stated that the court had made things easy for the counsel for the third respondents and went further to �insult the intelligence of the judges� who have empanelled to rule over the NPP�s petition seeking to terminate the presidency of President Mahama. He indicted Justice Atuguba of being bias towards Lawyer Addison anytime he made efforts to address issues; �When it comes to Addison, Atuguba normally shuts him down and orders him to �sit down�...but when Tsikata insults them, none of them even cough�. �I feel sad because when Tsatsu Tsikata stands in court and frowns like a �deity�, one particular judge asks him if �he is angry�. What the heck?� he rhetorically inquired.
