Third witness for the petitioner in the ongoing election petition at the Supreme Court, Rojo Mettle-Nunoo has admitted that he was served tea by the Electoral Commissioner, Jean Mensa when he went to consult her on some irregularities he had observed during the collation of results.
Rojo Mettle-Nunoo who took his turn on Monday to testify for the NDC said claims that he was offered biscuits and tea and had just a friendly chat with the Electoral Commissioner are as indicated by the lawyer for the first respondent Justine Amenuvor are inaccurate.
In disagreement, Mr Nunoo said “I was served tea but not with biscuits,” making the court bust out in laughter.
Mr Mettle Nunoo explained that he had gone to see the EC Chair in order to raise some important objections about the process.
With a reported ill-health, the witness who had his witness statement filed on Thursday was cross-examined by lawyers of the respondents on his 32-paragraph witness statement which had five paragraphs expunged.
The Supreme Court last week struck out portions and paragraphs of the witness statement of Rojo Mettle-Nunoo, a third witness for former President John Mahama.
According to the panel chaired by the Chief Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah, those paragraphs are struck out as having no basis in law.
Out of the 23 paragraphs objected to five were granted which are portions of paragraph 4, and the entirety of paragraphs 5, 6, 7 and 18.
Mettle-Nunoo was one of the two agents in the strongroom of the Electoral Commission.
