Retired Judge and former head of the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative (CHRAJ), Emile Short, says regardless of the revelations made in Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ latest exposé on corruption in the judiciary, it would be inappropriate for the public to totally condemn all judges. 22 judges implicated in the judicial corruption scandal have been suspended by the Judicial Council while the Chief Justice, Georgina Theodora Woode has ordered investigations into the matter.
A process has also commenced to determine whether there is a prima facie case can made against the twelve High Court judges also captured in the exposé. Over 100 court officials believed to have engaged in the alleged acts are also going to be pursued and disciplined after the investigative processes, according to the Chief Justice. But speaking on Eyewitness News on Citi FM Wednesday, the retired Judge said Ghanaians ought to be circumspect and not tag all judges as corrupt, adding that many judges are dispensing their duties with integrity.
