Former President John Agyekum Kufour says that Mr Owusu Afriyie, General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) deserves punishment after his conviction by the Supreme Court for contempt.
Mr. Kufuor refused to prescribe punishment for Mr. Owusu Afriyie otherwise known as Sir John.
Speaking in Twi on Adom Television, he said he was sure that the party would use the democratic process to determine what should happen to its General Secretary. He described the utterances of Sir John leading to his conviction as �unguarded�.
On the possible outcome of the election petition before the Supreme Court, Mr. Kufuor urged all Ghanaians to pray for peace. He said he is convinced that the judges will deliver a verdict which everybody can and will accept.
�Ghana will continue to be peaceful after the verdict� he said.
He also commended the people of Mali for holding peaceful and transparent elections.
�Ghana has a few things to learn Mali,� he said
