In Ghana almost every situation can be "settled home" without facing the law.Low Salary could also be another reason for bribery followed by greediness.

The proposals put forward by IEA for constitutional reforms are the best possible ways of strengthening our democracy. Anybody criticizing or unwilling to accept them must have some myopic and self-serving agendas that are not in the interest of Ghana and its development. Our week institutions can easily produce "constitutional dictatorship" difficult to get rid of.

Those who have genuine alternative ideas and views regarding the issues raised should come out clean and tell us what they have, and not hide behind to sabotage their adoption.
These proposals in our view would reduce partisan politics and also strengthen democracy and the rule of law in our country. On the other hand, if we dare reject them, we will continue to grope in darkness with disastrous consequences.

I sincerely believe that Mr. Stephen Amoah has gone too far in his prediction that there would be suicide bombings if Mahama wins the next elections. It is the right of any opposition member to point out the failings and excess of the government in power, and use them to convince electorates not to vote for the incumbent in the next elections.

This is genuine politics and your constitutional right, but you cannot say that there would be suicide bombings if Ghanaians ignore your warnings and still vote for him despite the hunger and the hardship they are experiencing under his government. The next thing Mr. Stephen needs to do, if he believes the incumbent could wrongfully use his position to influence the outcome of the elections, is to make sure that the elections are free and fair. And that is why the IEA constitutional reform proposals are very important.

AUTHOR: MARTIN A.B.K. AMIDU....

It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution

I will advice the judge to expose anyone who tries to bribe him for us to know that he mean what he says.

Please respected Judge advise your respected colleagues to expose litigants who offer bribes to them publicly. Exposing them drastically help curb corruption in our society. Your case is similar to policemen and police-women who refuse bribes from motorists when the camera is on them but accept
it greedily when the cameras are absent. Your call is noble this highly respected profession must advise itself first and clothe itself with integrity.

Why don't you penalize judges for taking bribes?
Why don't you send undercover litigants to catch corrupt judges?

If uneducated litigants are giving unethical gifts, why do the judges who know the law take them?

This High Court Judge is an asshole. That explains why Ghana and Africa is rotten. NO RULE OF LAW.

What is my learned Lord saying? That we should allow the judges to live in a vacuum?
Being Tempted does not make one a criminal! But falling for temptation is, and the criminal is the one who falls for it, the person who brings it about only being an accomplice at best!
The big man is not saying anything sensible enough. Just advise your judges to stay away from bribes but stay faithful to their oath, and the people will learn not to offer any more bribes. Let our judges learn to just and the country will prosper.

Who should refrain from offering bribes? Those in higher position and for that matter judges ask for it. It is in the Ghanaian blood, innate.

Judges should refrain from collecting the bribes and report such conducts, and give very strict interpretation of the law so Ghana can move forward.

wow!!!!! Judges are now blaming criminals for their own corrupt practices... Unlike the criminal, you took an oath to become a judge... It appears you are telling us not to trust you to FAITHFULLY execute your duties, for which you are being paid to do...As a good judge you are supposed to reject these bribes and charge these people with bribery and obstruction of justice... IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR JOB, I AM TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO..

A funny Judge.How childish!Why don't you advise your colleagues on the bench to refuse to accept the bearded goats and white envelopes passed through the bailiff, and turn the culprits over to the police for prosecution?If you and your colleagues just say NO,there will be no miscarriage of justice and there will be plenty of respect for the judges and confidence in the judiciary.
Any successful battle against corruption should begin with an overhaul of the judiciary,first and foremost,and the law enforcement agencies.

This Judge is a twerp. How sure is he that judges are bribed other than he exposing himself by implication of his statement. Shallow minded judge how can he give a sound judgment. On the other hand if you are referring to disgraceful atuguba and those who ruled in favor of the NDC be bold and call a cutlass a cutlass not an implement for weeding. SWINE.

From my point of view, the Supervising Judge sadly missed the point. The law is settled that the giver and the taker in corruption cases are all guilty.I have a personal experience of a judge attempting to elicit bribe from me a lawyer.If I had recorded the conversation and had reported the judge's conduct to the Chief Justice, hell would have broken loose and I would have stepped on so many toes in addition to being branded a wicked lawyer. So u see the world in which we live? GOD HAVE MERCY ON US!
