Yes indeed. Do read that judgement. It is a shambles. A collection of irrelevant gibberish, with no bearing whatsoever on the case at issue, composed by semi-literate junior clerks. Atuguba could not possibly have written it himself; in all probability he never even read it!

Anas must include the elevation of Apaak to the Supreme Court as a bribe from Mahama for doing his work on the PPP front runner.

That is the final solution.Freeze the assets of their spouses as well.Deprive them of their pensions and let them eat dust for breakfast,lunch and dinner.The next target should be Customs officers.

Have you ever launched a full scale investigations into Rawlings and his gangsters who have brought all these mess upon Ghanaians?

Ghanaians know that Rawlings has stolen Nsawam factory. Have you done any investigation into that. You are all running for cover. You are all thieves. None of you has clean hands. Investigate Rawlings first. Didn't Nana Konadu admit that she and her family received $5 Million of Woyome stolen money? Have you investigate those who signed that check for Woyome?

Investigate all P/NDC government thieves and looters. It is Rawlings, the socialist revolutionary High Priest and his other socialist priests who have brought thie untold hardships upon Ghanaians. That has made these corrupt judges receiving bribes to twist justice. Rawlings and his satanic revolution forced upon Ghanaians are the cause of all these social vices we see in our country. Blame Rawlings.

People's attention is particularly on him because of the Woyome case judgement which went bizzare. What a man sows shall he reap.

Is it the same security agencies who failed to conduct their own sting operations on the judiciary, legislature, executive, businesses and the media, that is being called upon to act on the findings of a lone investigative journalist. Let's be serious, these revelations are no news to our agencies. If they wanted to halt them they would have done so long. Rather they keep tabs which are used to blackmail people when the need arises. They serve the powers that be, not us. Otherwise we wouldn't have sunk this low

It shows how easily our officials can gleefully be corrupted, and even more annoying how all those who we pay on monthly basis to halt have gone to sleep on bribery and corruption. It it takes a citizen with private resources to uncover such crimes which we all suspect is rife, then maybe we should privatize our anti-corruption institutions. Our make Anas SFO boss for life

Where has the Mahama NDC looting brigands stashed Ghana's looted monies and which assets have they bought all over the world and in this country?
Where did NDC get $20million dollars for their party HQ's at Adabraka in Accra?
Just that one loot for that structure alone, far outstrips what all the "corrupt judges" combined have taken.
Indeed, it is a drop in the bucket.
Where is Ghana's stolen monies from the John Mahama NDC gov't?
Ghana needs those monies and assets now.

The idea by the Security Experts is good but not a Smart approach,or appropriate in my personal opinion.
(1)Those involved in the Judicial
Scandal are Judges and not Drug barons/dealers,in the first place.
(2)The idea implies that gov't would have to Contract Camden Assets Recovery/Stolen Assets Recovery or both at a Fee(business as usual). Imagine the Cost to a Country which is always Crying over Scarcity of funding ,but has enough for Officials to mismanage or Steal.
(3)Some of these Judges are people who have worked for a very long time.
Therefore,only the bribes Captured in the Video should be refunded,so as not to create confusion.If the general public would come out to confess the bribes they paid in the past,all should be refunded and,it would help prosecutors to nailed them.
Therefore,it would be very difficult for anyone to ascertain Assets acquired with Bribe Money or actual Earnings.
(4) I wonder how someone who Work and lives in Ghana would transfer a "peanut"bribe of say,5, 6, 8, or15,000
Cedis into his foreign Acct, if any.
(Don't forget that, if the 9am " "massage"was executed nicely,2,000
out of 5,000 would be on her bossom).
etc.Anyway.

THIS INDEED IS A VERY GOOD APPEAL TO THESE AGENCIES IN THE COUNTRY.

THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES OF THESE JUDGES AND MAGISTRATES WERE EXPOSED BY GENUINE INVESTIGATION.

GHANAIANS HAVE TO KNOW THAT, BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION,MANIPULATION, EMBEZZLEMENT, STEALING AND FRAUD DOES GO ON NOT ONLY AT THE JUDICIAL SERVICE BUT; AT ALL GOVERMEMNT MINISTRIES, DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES IN THE CIUNTRY.

THE BANK OF GHANA

COMERCIAL BANKS

RURAL BANKS

CUSTOMS:

DRIVERS AND LICENCE AGENCY

CIVIL AVIATION-LANDING FEES OF FOREIGN CARRIERS

MINES COMMMISSION

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S DEAORTMENT

ACCOUNTANT GENERALS DEPARTMENT.

AUDIT DEPARTMENT

GRAPHIC

POLICE

HOSPITALS

GHANAIAN TIMES

GEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT

RAILWAYS

RENT CONTROL AGENCY

INCOME TAX AND REVENUES DEPARTMENT

REGIONAL OFFICES IN THE COUNTRY

DISTRICT ASSEMBLIES

SChOOLS,COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

GHANA LOTTERY

FOREST DEPARTMENT

ETC, ETC, ETC, ETC.

UNLESS THE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS, DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES ARE CHECKED AND INVESTGATED, THE STATE OF GHANA WILL CONTINUE TO BE ECONOMIC BACKWARD, UNDEERDEVELOPMENT,EXTREME POOR AND CRIPPLED AND NOT ABLE TO MEET ITS SOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTRY.

WHAT IS EVEN SERIOUS AND STRANGE IS TO SEE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES WHO DO NOT EARN MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED(300)
DOLLARS A MONTH TO OWN ESTATE HOUSES MANSIONS,BEER BARS,TAXIS AND INTERNET CAFES.

HOW DO WE SECURE A STABLE STATE.

II IS INDEED A PITY FOR A NATION TO BE BUILT ON SUCH A BRUTAL AND CRUEL FOUNDATION.

IT IS ONLY STRICT LAWS AND VIGOROUS JUDICIAL SYSTEM WITHOUT SHALL WE BE IN THE POSTION TO MEET THE FUTURE FOR THE PRESENT AND THE NEXT GENERATIONS.

HOW LONG SHOULD THESE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES BE ALLOWED TO GO ON.

ARE THOSE IN POSITION NOT DEPRIVING THE RIGHTS OF THE DISADVANTAGED,LESS FORTUNATE AND RURAL DWELLERS TO LIVE IN A BETTER ATMOSHERE,WHERE THEY CAN ALSO BE OÍN THE POSITION TO CARE FOR THEIR FAMILIES.

lET US RENEW.

FOR CORRUPTION,STEALING AND LOOTING ARE NOT ACCORDED IN TRUE POLITICS.

Funds collected as bribe must be refunded to Anas by the Judges and indeed, all corrupt judges assets should be frozen.

They can not and MUST NOT get away with this!
