I say kudos to Anas for the great work work done, May God keep you guide you and strengthen you for more great jobs. And Kudos to you President Mahama and the NDC led government for giving this Anas guy the free hand to investigate all and even judges. Kudos to you Chief Justice for the great job. I wish former president Kuffour and his NPP were able to give this man the free hand he has gotten from the Mills and Mahama led NDC government now to investigate corruption in the country like its happening now, like by now corruption will have been only 5%. So Dr. Kwabena Agyei the then NDC chairman was right after all for saying that "the Judiciary is corrupt and must be cleaned by the Chief Justice" which the NPP thought it was abomination and made politics out of.

How idiotic can you get? It was Nana Akufu-Addo under Kufuor who who repealed the capricious libel law which PNDC/NDC MKI were using to jail journalists. When were you born? Did you ever hear of Prison Graduates? Ask Kweku Baako and Kofi Coomson.

Did you ever hear of "shit bombing" of newspaper offices supervised by Kwamena Ahwoi?

Did you hear about Atuguba's nephew declaring to the whole world, under Egya Ata, that the Ghanaian judiciary is corrupt? What did they do about it? What has Mahama done about GYEEDA, SADA, Isofoton, Woyome and all that?

Mahama? Don't let me puke. It is the Constitution that guarantees freedom of speech and expression!

Stop saying things you do not know but think are facts. You don't remember that some girls working for Anas at the Tema harbour during Mills's regime were arrested but an order from the Castle led to their release? You think without help or assistance in any way from government this could be done? I just recall too that on the western border when cocoa smugglers were being busted, members, some, were arrested but order from Accra set them free. Govt surely had hand in all these operations.

Why did Mills lose all cases he brought against K4’s people? Have NpP people not always boasted that they have good lawyers? No NPP govt would have set up any commission or committee to investigate corruption.
See, the SC judge returned his official vehicle and tended in his resignation, K4 demanded four houses, 6 cars etc

In abundance of water the fool is tasty. In abundance of rich minerals the Ghanaian is poor. When one of its members tried to bring transformation you will see the endemic silly minded shouting you cannot do it. Truly a prophet is without honour except in his own country. If you don’t have the mind of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah you can never bring change to Ghanaians. The mind of Nkrumah speaks louder beyond our borders.

“Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.” (Martin Luther King Jnr,)

It is very simply developing the people to take charge in managing their own affairs. The black person has been an object of mockery in the world for a very long time. Those with great knowledge expertise were and are being exploited outside their country of origin through a by “brain drain” philosophy. All because we don’t we believe in ourselves.

Most black people are so corrupt and greedy to point of selling their conscience for bread to betray their own. Today in our own land, our own people serve as agents to foreign agents to thwart the growth and development of our people and nation. Many of our own go round the world misinforming our development partners from given us assistance or delay the processes that will enhance our development.

Such non entities vociferous traitors are in the country try very hard every morning to make their voices heard to prove to their partners that they are doing well. However if you analyse them carefully can you tell if they have manage to transform the people they live with in their community?

How about all those scandals revealed by Anas? There are several thousands of scandals swept under the carpet in Ghana, which directly contributes to corruption. This is the reason most of us don't believe the judicial institution's resolve to help curb corruption because it is the first corrupt institution in Ghana.

If under Mahama's watch our judges are found wanting, then Mahama must resign or impeached. Mahama is the real problem and it all started with Supreme court of Atuguba.

It is the uninitiated who will be surprised by these Anas findingS. It is the plain truth that Ghanaian judges accept or take brides. This is the reason why no foreign investor would want their agreements with Ghanaian counterpart subjected to the legal system in Ghana. If Judges at the Supreme Court could take bride and throw such a monumental case to the highest bidder, then what prevents other judges from the lower courts from taking brides. This is where this country has come up to. Tweaaa I

Remove it, enough judges have proven that they can't be trusted.
Corrupt judges are more dangerous than criminals because they can't be held reasonable.
Abuse of such large powers should also have a high penalty; 10 years jail minimum and if lives are destroyed by their corrupt actions life and death penalties.

We have to concede that this crime among our Judiciary has persisted for a very long time in Ghana and reaches way beyond just monetary bribery.

Other forms of 'quid pro quo' to alter the natural courses of cases are believed to be involved. Anas' expose' is just the tip of the iceberg, I strongly believe, and the culprits could be much larger than the 34 that Anas alone exposed.

How about those Judges who might, say, received Scholarships for their wards in various Educational programs for which the wards were less qualified? How about exchange of Land for favorable verdicts? How about similar verdicts for political favors down the road?

We must go back to the days of the Assets Confiscation, massive Tax evasion cases in the past, the murder of the Ya Naa and his family and the Tsikata case. Many of such manipulations of Justice are very subtle but not entirely beyond provability.

Whole Governments and the leaders in Ghana have been unduly influencing Justice at the expense of the weaker stakeholders in various cases. Many of us disapproved the swift, unexhausted judicial procedures with which Military Juntas dealt many cases, and wrongly victimized a lot of folks. But we have similar behaviors perpetrated against us by our Civilian Power brokers under ostensibly democratic regimes, too.

Long Live Ghana!!!

Anas should have targeted the Attorney general's department and see to it that they defend all cases of the state to the letter and the court clerks but not people who have been given the OPTION to say yes or no to cases brought before them. This time round Anas case is a complete exercise in futility.
