Edudzi Tameklo pooh-poohs CCTV recording of alleged Thaddeus Sory, Judges' meeting
Legal practitioner and National Democratic Congress (NDC) member, Edudzi Kudzo Tameklo, has offered a detailed explanation of the much-discussed CCTV footage that allegedly captures a meeting between lawyer Thaddeus Sory and some Supreme Court judges.
According to Tameklo, the footage debunks the claims circulated by some members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) suggesting an improper meeting between the legal practitioner and the judges regarding the ongoing hearing of petitions to remove the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, from office.
Describing the alleged meeting as a “so-called dinner,” Tameklo accused the NPP and its media surrogates of attempting to create a false narrative to undermine the integrity of the court process.
He stated that the video in question tells “a completely different story” from what has been sensationally reported.
According to Tameklo, the CCTV recording, labelled “restaurant”, captures the following sequence:
Tameklo added that the footage “shows clearly” that:
A second clip, labelled “entrance”, reportedly shows the three individuals, including Justice Kulendi, entering or leaving the restaurant in a straightforward manner—further dismissing any notion of secrecy or undue engagement.
Tameklo encouraged the public to watch the footage themselves and come to their own conclusions, asserting that what occurred was no different from “seeing a colleague in town and exchanging pleasantries without more.”
“What the video reveals is a simple moment of civility, not a clandestine meeting,” Tameklo stressed. “All the noise around this so-called dinner is just political mischief.”
He urged the media and political actors to refrain from maligning the integrity of legal professionals and members of the judiciary with what he described as “poisonous allegations” that lack basis in fact.
