Corruption at Judicial Service

Sat, 3 Dec 2011 Source: Ingram, James

Dear Sir,

I wish to inform you by this medium a very Big Issue pending Large amount of Monies being spent by the Executive Instrument of the Judicial Service Association of Ghana led by Adia Latif the President who was elected by congress in 2008 and to serve a term of three years to 2011 July. Basically Adia Latif is still occupying the Judicial Service Association of Ghana (Jusag Office) illegally and misusing the funds without any attempt to organize congress. Adia Latif used to be the Association Treasure and was voted into power that makes him hold office for more than 8 years. The Constitution of of Jusag spells out that a Member should hold office for three years and after congress to meet to renew or re elected in which latif and his instrument has closed eyes to the same Constitution. From the way it is, It is clear that the Latif led Administration has something big to hide from the Staff contributors.

A group of GRIEVED Members comprising of some members in all ten regions with different letters wrote and signed a letter Petitioning Management to request the Association to produce to its members an Audited Account of Jusag, Staff benefits, Death Benefits,Criteria used to increase staff deductions without their consent from 1 % to 2% and the

Accounts stewardship from 2000 to 2011 and on what basis the Jusag still holds office after three years without Congress when their term of office expired in July 2011 amongst others.

The Honorable the Lady Chief Justice immediately asked the Judicial secretary to set up a committee of inquiry to bring the two parties for hearing in the Chief Justice court and produce their report which was done on the 25 of November at about 15:00gmt. In the Meeting with Jusag, Members were very disappointed and got more furious after latif made a total collection of about Three million a Month calculated by one year which will arrive in Billions and the Accounts of Jusag still remains NEGATIVE. The Staff since time the Jusag was started have never seen any works of the Association to the benefits of its Staff. The Jusag purchased a staff bus and was sold only for the Same President Latif to purchase the car and send it to the Northern sector to work for him. All the account statements produce by the Association was Fake and had too many loopholes in them which made staff very upset and want to opt out since the 1999 constitution says that one has the right to associate. Everything that President Latif produced to its contributor were all Fake.

It will be very Clear to see CORRUPTION of the JUSAG from all Indications.I would propose your Journalist to follow up from this Story line with relevant copies attached to continue the Story to unfold the TRUTH About this matter of Concern.

You can respond to this e mail for more documents to be tendered.

Thank You
