Judicial scandal is a domestic affair – Anas snubs Int'l media

Ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has told the international media including, the BBC that his expose’ of the corruption in Ghana’s judiciary is a domestic affair, and he will not want to comment on it outside the shores of Ghana.

“I think that it is really a home affair and also the fact that I'm before the committee I don't think that it makes sense to be talking to the international media. I haven't done that in Ghana, so I can't see myself commenting on this.

“It is true that 34 judges have all been suspended but I'm unable to give further comments on this issue because I am before a committee that is hearing the matter, and I didn’t want to say anything that will prejudice the work of the committee.

"And out of respect for the judicial process, we have to let the process go on. Then at the end of the day we would be able to know who is saying what,” Anas, who is billed to speak at this year’s Global Investigative Journalism Conference in Lillehammer, Norway, told Ohemeng Tawiah of Kumasi-based Nhyira FM.

So far thirty-four judges and 146 judicial service staff are being probed for their various alleged roles in compromising justice as captured in the video evidence by Anas and his Tiger Eye PI team.
