“It
is not surprising because Judiciary is part of the society like the
Police and everybody else who is perceived to be corrupt...you and I
know that the system is inherently corrupt. If members of the Judiciary
have been implicated in a corrupt act; they are members of the society.
But the constitution demands that they must be of high moral standing…” says Ace Ankomah, a seasoned lawyer.
Ace
Ankomah was speaking to the issue of the 34 high court judges who have
been cited in a latest bribery and corruption scandal unraveled by ace
investigator, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
More than 100 members of the Judicial Service have also been cited in the exposé.
Ace Ankomah speaking to Kwami Sefa Kayi in an interview on PEACE FM if there is clear evidence of bribery and corruption, the judges, will face the law.
According to him, some of the judges in Anas’ exposé “refused to collect bribes offered to them and threatened to jail them (those offering the bribes) if they come again”
Lawyer Ankomah however refuted claims that there are issues of entrapment or an attempt by Anas to implicate the judges.
