A
leading member of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) and a
public interest lawyer, Sam Pee Yaley has backed calls for Sammy Awuku
to provide evidence of the messages he claims have been doctored on the
leaked tape containing his voice.
Addressing the issue on Radio
Gold, Mr. Sam Pee Yaley wondered why Sammy Awuku, Deputy Communications
Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is the only person singled out
in connection with the tape.
To him, there are several people in
Ghana who have wide listenership but, “why is it that of all the 24
million or thereabout of Ghanaians…it is only that of Sammy Awuku that
has been associated with this recording?” he quizzed.
In his
view, Sammy Awuku has not entirely denied knowledge of the leaked tape
which therefore gives an indication that the voice on the tape bears a
resemblance to his original voice.
“Secondly, Sammy Awuku is
denying that the voice is his voice and that it has been doctored. So,
he seems to have some association with the voice but only denying the
content.
“So, in law, he has shifted the burden of proof to
himself that I’m alleging that the voice is not my voice and he who
alleges must prove,” he demanded.
He also held strongly that
Sammy Awuku’s alleged tape may be “a fomented orchestrated pattern of
attack” to instigate fear in the Supreme Court Justices. |
