The atmosphere of the Supreme Court was lightened up when the third witness of the petitioner, John Dramani Mahama, Rojo Mettle-Nunoo, replied that he was served tea at the secretariat of the Electoral Commission (EC).
Mr Mettle-Nunoo, who gave his testimony via video link in the ongoing election petition, had indicated that he left the strongroom to meet Mrs Jean Mensa in her office but he was asked to “wait at the reception.”
READ ALSO:
Lead counsel for the 1st respondent, Justin Amenuvor, said Mr Mettle-Nunoo was served with tea and biscuit while waiting to see the EC chairperson.
He, however, responded: “I was served only tea, no biscuit.”
This reaction seems to have created excitement on Twitter.

TEA AND BISCUITS!
Another hour or so of writing and then I can treat myself to a nice cup of tea, some biscuits and read my book for a couple of hours.

Jean Mensah budgeted for tea and biscuits at the EC office, approved by parliament but she served only tea, where are the money for the biscuits?

Just saw a photo of an extremely athletic and pleasantly shirtless gentleman with the caption “Motivation Monday” at the exact moment I crammed two tea-soaked Rich Tea biscuits into my fat gob. pic.twitter.com/elooUw8ZHE

Still in hospital. Feeling a bit better. The nurses have been great. Even after hitting me with another covid test she was like, “would ya like a cup of tea and a biscuit”. They just put you at ease. Don’t know why but always felt safer around a nurse.
