Kwesi
Sainti Baffoe Bonnie, brother of Justice Paul Baffoe Bonnie, has
debunked reports that the Supreme Court Judge sped off from his
daughter’s graduation ceremony at the Kwame Nkrumah University of
Science and Technology in an attempt to avoid public ridicule.
A
member of the Supreme Court panel that sat on the election petition,
Justice Baffoe Bonnie, was reported in the Monday edition of the Daily
Guide to have been found “missing in action when his daughter graduated
from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology as a medical
doctor last Saturday in Kumasi.”
The publication revealed that
before the arrival of his Lordship, news had saturated the entire Kumasi
metropolis that “Justice Baffoe-Bonnie would grace the occasion in
support of his dear daughter. This information drew a sizeable number of
curious people to the auditorium of the Social Sciences Faculty where
graduands from the KNUST Medical School were taking the Hippocratic Oath
to officially enter the medical profession.”
The massive crowd,
which included a section of the public and students of the KNUST, had
trooped into the function expecting to catch a glimpse at the Justice
Baffoe Bonnie but “in the end, these curious people were disappointed,
as Justice Baffoe-Bonnie was nowhere to be found though his name was
mentioned as one of the dignitaries present at the event.”
He was
reported to have received his piece of public ridicule from the
gathering and had left without leaving behind his footprints.
But
speaking in an interview with Radio Gold, Mr. Sainti Baffoe-Bonnie, who
is believed to be a Presidential Staffer, described the reports as
“falsehood” stressing that his brother was present throughout the
function.
According to him, Justice Baffoe-Bonnie was not hooted
at by the spectators but “on the contrary, he was applauded. Hon. Osafo
Marfo was applauded. The Honorable MP for Asokwa was applauded. The
professors in the medical field were applauded and my brother was
applauded.”
The publication, he stated, is “absolutely false and mischievous. It is not true…He was present.” |
