Mfantsipim to Honour Four Top Lawyers

Four prominent Ghanaian lawyers are to be honored at the 138^thMfantsipim National Fund-Raising Dinner Dance and Awards night in Accra next month, on August 22^nd.

The four – Tsatsu Tsikata, Philip Addison, Frank Davies and Alex Quaynor – are all old boys of Mfantsipim and are being honoured as Mfantsipim Brand Icons for the excellent roles they played in the recent historic Election Petition case at the Supreme Court. They form the first batch of Old Boys to be honoured this year.

While TsatsuTsikata Esq. represented the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), the three Philip Addison, Esq., Frank Davies, Esq., and Alex Quaynor, Esq. represented Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the 2012 Presidential candidate and his running mate, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumiah (NPP), Chairman Jake ObetsebiLamptey and the party’s General Secretary Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie also known as ‘Sir John’. 

They not only excelled in the 10-month contentious case but exhibited the traits of Mfantsipim’s Brand and values which have endeared the school to the world.

Their actions also showcased the Mfantsipim heritage of producing individuals who rise above partisanship and exude selfless leadership to render service to the community, the nation and the continent. 

Mr. J. K. A. Simpson, Headmaster of Mfantsipim speaking on the awards, intimated that “as far as we were concerned it was Mfantsipim on Show throughout the period of the case, and it was Mfantsipim’s Brand that was the ultimate winner -- and especially as they added value to the school’s global image and accomplishments”.

Next month’s national event is being hosted by the 1984 Sponsoring Year Group of Mfantsipim Old Boys Association (MOBA) under the theme ‘Let’s Begin to Dream Again for Mfantsipim’, and will be held at the Main Foyer of the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) with A.B. Crentsil and Paapa Yankson, two famous artistes, performing.
