The International Community will lose faith in Ghana's Judiciary not because of the filming but because of the behaviour filmed. We need to clean house in Ghana. The pervasive corruption is too much.
PUT IT ON YOUTUBE AND WHATSAPP
These judges are just trying hard to cover up their corruption..... SHAME!!!!!
In every competition all sides strive to win and the one with the best strategy is always declared a winner. This does not end the game forever. Both the winner and the losers retreat , re-strategize on how to put up their be ...

THERE IS THE WITNESS PROTECTION ACT. WITNESSES CAN TESTIFY OFF CAMERA. This is another way of testifying off camera.

You are against all that is happening. If one of your relatives is involved in the massive corruption, so be it. Your arguments are hollow. Showing news does not imply passing judgement. There was no gag order on the video ...

ANAS IS NEITHER A WITNESS OR VICTIM BUT A PARTICIPANT, ACCUSER AND BRIBER. THOSE WHO ARE OFFERED SUCH PROTECTIONS ARE VICTIMS OF A CRIME AND INDEPENDENT WITNESS WHO NEVER PARTOOK IN THE CRIME.
This one too is one of them. He has no leadership record, no originality always going with the wind. Here he goes again. Whilst talking about drastic actions to rid this nation of scams people like this have an agenda.
This is untrue. First we don't have a jury system and so the public that viewed the tape are not going to play any part in the judgment and verdict. Second, the only fact presented is the video which is the SAME video to be p ...

Thank you, this shows how incompetent our judiciary is.
Even politician watching the movie.
NDC government is really incompetent
Thanks To Effah Dartey
Those siding with and speaking for these corrupt judges need a HEAD SCAN.
What a corrupt society have we become!
GOD IS WATCHING.
Even if you can, I doubt you can comprehend what you read.! Where did you read NDC or NPP.
This former AG represents everything that is wrong with our thinking today in Ghana. This is reverse logic, our international community will rather applaud the actions of Anas because he has merely collected visual evidence ...

So what the answer, the whole system is corrupt, with the ruling party on power.
You appoint competent people to run the affair of the nation
Ayikoi Otoo"s biased spin on the showing of the tape is unfortunate. The public"s interest trumps the right of the disgraced judges. After all, it is tax payers money that pays their salaries. How dare Ayikoi that this is unl ...

That is why we have laws and constition, America laws are not Ghana laws
So it is Justice to take bribes. Oh what a pity, Ghana forsake. The bad the ugly the so calls high people now support. What is unlawful, so the truth should be hidden. Oh I see. Shameful so called leaders.
How doesn't the showing this documentary evidence prejudices one right to fair justice ? Mr Ayiko the right of the public to know or be informed outweighs the charter of the right of the criminal ( s ) fair hearing or trial
You know the law when it is to protect the powerful class and not the weak
This man must be out of his mind to think he is the only person in Ghana who knows the laws of Ghana and moreover, who asked him what the laws of Ghana are?
Some Lawyers will defend any criminal and we all know that is part ...

It kind of makes you wonder how many idiots we have in Ghana. Maybe, it's close to 80 percent.
HE IS MAY BE ONE OF THEM, THE THIEVES .
Sentence for wrong doing however when they are in the wrong it is O.K. Jail this man too. He is part of the gang. Name and shame them all one by one so that the practice deter others.
I can smell Ayikoi Otoo, his name is coming out so he is in panic. What a shame to the so call big people in Ghana .As3m aba .The cat is out of the bag.
A nation with such amount of poverty, bribery, corruption that is killing human life has no basic right to be pampered using that so call constitution to effect correct measured in addressing its magnitude contempt, adjournme ...

Nobody should try and defend these Judges in any way . DISGRACE !!!!
I totally am against the behaviour oh the judges and so is Mr Otoo. But he is just telling us what the law is. Take his opinion or leave it. No insults on the learned lawyer, please .
So this people think we are fools ? But I never knew this ayikoi otoo is such a stupid man
very very very stupid man indeed
While you might be right that he ought to show his face in court - in front of judges, but maybe not in front of the accused, still it would be inappropriate to stop screening of the film. If you allow criminals to control th ...

Why should Anas be allowed to cover his face? He can give evidence behind a screen and not to cover his face.In the UK accused and witnesses are not allowed to wear even dark glasses in court.
He covered his face so that a dunce like you will not have the opportunity to go and kidnap him. What's the difference in what you're saying about being behind a screen. Is it not for the same purpose to protect his face and ...

Is he afraid of the work he is doing?Then he should not do it.Only in kangatroo courts will witnesses be allowed to cover their faces.
Do you know anything about witness protection? In certain circumstances, witnesses are made to appear without exposing their identity. Are these Kangaroo courts also? The work of Anas is not finished. We need him to expose ...

You think Anas should not be unveiling the mask of corruption in all facets of Ghana? Wow, Ghana will be doomed with this kind of thinking. But in fairness, you and people who think like you are in the minority.
worthless people.who made this animal an attorney
general.A she goat without horns. Aboa like you.When it comes to bribe there is no law that permits that worthless man animal like you.
Former attorney general and for that matter a lawyer that speaks like an illiterate with dead brain,will Ghana ever advance if we have people like this as law makers, never.
Correction
I am stunned by Ayikoi Otto's comments. It is said that a an adulr who supervises the eating of snske is a snake eater. That is exactly who Ayikoi is. Sincerely Anas deserves "star of the order of Volta Award for all his exp ...

What about other cases that Anas has dealt with!
If you have collected any garden eggs and kontomre and possibly one or two goats, you better confess, because I have a secret document to hand over to tiger eye about you.
all of a sudden the judiciary know what's lawful and what's not. Tweakai.
that is untrue.and this seemingly inexperience nature of media guys is what the man talked about.he said if they had considered the consequence of showing the video,the perception about ghana's justice system to potential in ...

Why are these NPP lawyers defending the judges?
Don't worry
NNP lawyers should stop supporting dery and Co.

THE SHOWING OF ANAS'FILM IS UNLAWFUL BUT THE COLLECTING OF BRIBE IS LAWFUL

It is only corrupt people who are defendingg

See this empty headed man too ooo look @ his high degree display of sheer ignorance. Equally corrupt man lke d judges
Ayiko Oto should give us some fresh air .to brief. Everything in Ghana is illegal. But l Anass has not helped matters. The video should been put on Yutube the very day it was premiered.
I am very disappointed in u Ayikoi Otoo. If showing the video is unlawful, then for the judges taking bribes is lawful. These judges have no respect in this country.
What an "IDIOT". Showing film is unlawful, but taking bribes are lawful. Ghana is plagued with corrupt politicians. Untill the people start thinking wisely and stand out against all those BOGUS & CORRUPT executives, the devel ...

I'm surprised this third rate lawyer took so long to open his gob about this Anas video.
Attention seeking Otoo! No wonder Kuffuor threw him out of his government.
WHAT IS LAWFUL IN GHANA , CORRUPTION OR STEALING OF COUNTRY,S MONIES ?
Waa look at this man.It was not unlawful for them to take bribe and let criminals go free. How did you get to become attorney general in Ghana?. Oh my loved country. Where are the right people to do the job.
Ask me again...When you look at what is going in Ghana today is bad..
The world is watching Ghana...they must imprison them for life to give an example in Ghana..
Ghana need to be a teacher to Africa...
