The National Communication officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has said the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) lawyer, Frank Davies disrespected the counsels for John Dramani Mahama in the 2020 election petition hearing.
According to Sammy Gyamfi, the comments from Frank Davies during the petition hearing were disrespectful to his ‘senior colleague’ Tsatsu Tsikata.[ads2]
Speaking on Accra-based Okay FM, Sammy Gyamfi stated that lawyers have been trained to show respect to their colleagues but Frank Davies did the otherwise to his ‘seniors’ Tsatsu Tsikata and Tony Lithur.
“Frank Davies did not speak well. Lawyers have been trained to respect their colleagues especially when the lawyers in question are your seniors. If we are dealing with the interpretation of the law, Frank Davies is junior to Tsatsu Tsikata”[ads3]
“Tsikata is not his size so if speak and you have an issue with it, you have to address the issues with respect and decorum. You don’t cast aspersions and insinuations and say things unbefitting of a lawyer. It’s a disgrace to the law profession for lawyers to say such things about a senior colleague”, he said…[ads5]
