It has now been established that the government of the PNDC put forth an intelligence network to spy on and investigate certain judges, a front-page capture of 'The Guide' stated.
It said documents available to it revealed that a number of judges including Justices M.K. Adsovie, E.K. Wiredu and H.B. Apatu Plange, were investigated by the National Investigations Committee (NIC) on the orders of Mr Ato Dadzie without their knowledge.
The documents indicate that as far back as 1986, Mr Dadzie listed more than 20 judges of the country and handed over their files to the NIC for thorough investigations of unspecified wrong doings.
Mr Dadzie, then a Secretary at the erstwhile PNDC secretariat had allegedly held the reports and files on the judges and ordered their investigations.
The source noted that while it was not very clear even at the time the essence of the investigations, it was suspected that the order was aimed at digging in on the occupants of the benches in the nation's judicial system.
The Guide recalls that three High Court judges and an Army Officer were brutally murdered by persons within the PNDC in 1982 and judges in the country, since then, have been criticized for some biased or politically motivated judgements that have been handed down.
