After bombarding General Secretary for the New Patriotic Party with strong words to demonstrate how powerful the bench was, he was finally advised to go back to his old self. There isn�t much information to give us an insight into the past life of Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie - though some say he has been practicing law for nearly 30 years - the presiding judge seems to have traced his background. According to Justice Atuguba, though he doesn�t know much about the NPP�s General Secretary, he learnt he lived a sober lifestyle when he hadn�t entered into mainstream politics. Thus before the NPP scribe was discharged before the bench for scandalizing the court, Justice Atuguba stated that it was worthless of him to have metamorphosed into a different person because of politics. Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie and a fellow party communicator, Hopeson Adorye were later fined GH�5,000 and GH�2,000 respectively and made to sign a bond to be of good behaviour for six or three months or in default serve six or three months in jail respectively.
