A private legal practitioner, Kweku Osei Asare Esq. has commended the Supreme Court Justices over their behavior towards the ongoing Presidential election petition by former President John Dramani Mahama.

Lawyer Kweku Osei Asare, speaking on Peace FM's ''Kokrokoo'', says the Justices have conducted themselves very well.

He explained that he has been to various courts a number of times and knows how impatient Judges can be during proceedings but has seen a different character by the Supreme Court Judges which deserves praise.

"The court has acted very well, very very well. I have been going to court and I know how impatient they [the Judges] can be with us some times. But so far, I think they have exercised great restraint with respect of the proceedings," he said.

Lawyer Osei Asare, on the other hand, slammed the lawyers for the parties involved in the petition over their utterances after the court proceedings.

He particularly lambasted the former Attorney General, Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong over some statements she's made about the Supreme Court Judges, quoting her to have said the court has not been fair to their petitioner.

He found such statement distasteful saying ''if it was anybody else, I wouldn't have commented but because she's been an Attorney General before, I think it wasn't appropriate and that she ought to have conducted herself better".
