Aremeyaw Anas has done it again. This time on our Judiacial service. God help Ghana.

Twenty two judges and magistrates who were cited in the latest corruption expose’ by ace journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas have been suspended by the Judicial council.

The decision was taken after the Chief Justice and the Judicial Council examined the video evidence of malfeasance brought against the judges by Anas.

A statement signed by the Judicial Secretary Wednesday said the expose' will help the judiciary’s ongoing fight against corruption within its ranks.



“A Disciplinary Committee of the Judicial Council was constituted to investigate the petition against the 22 judges and magistrates. It is a five-member Committee chaired by a justice of the Supreme Court.

“On September 7, 2015 the circuit judges and magistrates were served with letters stating the allegations against them and asked to submit their responses by September 9 2015.

“The judicial Council further decided that upon receipt of the responses, the 22 judges and magistrates have accordingly been suspended with effect from Thursday September 10, 2015,” the statement said.
