Mr Ahoofe, please don't make a fool of yourself like this. Are you suggesting there is or should be a statute of limitations on gross misconduct in office and perversion of justice? Or are you saying since the judges in question have retired they should go scotfree!! I fail to see the rationale of your argument, to extend your logic any politicians who are guilty of corruption and misconduct in office should be allowed to enjoy their Ill gotten gains without facing any criminal sanctions!! Your position is absurd prima facie!! On behalf of the people I rest my case.

You did not the import or the grasp of his argument. I think the case the English Prof raised here is beyond your comprehension, else I would rather suggest you go back and retread the article at a 'snail pace' to get the gist. The professor was positing that we better allow the laws on the land take its course rather than allowing our emotions to becloud our judgement.
Silence, they say, is golden. Sometimes it is better you shut up and allow the know hows to comment on issues and you read it to your satisfaction. You don't just have to jump to the fray to expose your ignorance and shallowness.Too known Trokosiman.

Dr. Okoampa-Ahoofe, it doesn't matter Justices Yaw Ansu Gyeabuor and F.K. Opoku are retired. Retirement is no basis to avoid prosecution.
Yes, retirement ends the prospect of disciplinary action against the two retired justices by the Judicial Council/Chief Justice, as they cannot be suspended or dismissed for professional misconduct. However, once the two retired justices are tainted by accusations of judicial corruption and evidence exists, they cannot and should not escape prosecution on the basis of retirement. Not only have their personal conduct tarnished the reputation and integrity of the country's Judiciary, they acted unlawfully by engaging in criminal acts in the Anas expose, which details their offences and should therefore face criminal proceedings.
Anas is not overreaching himself. Calling for a vigorous prosecution of all the accused in the Judicial scandal isn't an 'over-enthusiastic pursuit' but rather a determination to ensure a thorough prosecution of all.
For far too long, in Ghana, corruption cases have been swept under the carpet. The question is: In this crime-related incidents, why should the IGP be implored to make arrests when the Police should have urgently needed to have made arrests as a standard practice?

Looks like you misunderstood Okoampa. He is saying that Anas cannot make the rules of the game that he is playing himself. If the law says the retired justices cannot be indicted because of their retirement, then Anas cannot call for the laws to be changed because he caught them. But if the law says they can be pulled out of retirement and charged, then so be it. It shouldn't be because Anas says so. In other words, Anas should also respect the laid down law.
LONTO-BOY, you cannot say because "[f)or far too long, in Ghana, corruption cases have been swept under the carpet," so a particular law should be arbitrarily changed to accommodate Anas. That will be lawlessness.

Godd, thanks for your response. If I have misunderstood Dr. Okoampa-Ahoofe in this context, then he deserves my apologies.
Of course, we live in a rule of law democracy, and understandably Anas, the investigator cannot play the trial judge and jury. And, if actually it is the statutory law or judicial norm that the "retired" Justices cannot be indicted on the grounds of their retirement, then they "got away with it". But this should be a matter of grave concern for our justice system.

Yes, that's how it should be even though you have nothing to apologize for, LONTO-BOY. If it is as we are arguing, then your conclusion is the right one. It is a grave concern for our justice system which should call for a review of existing laws.
Okoampa also did state that he didn't know the statutes of limitations concerning such matters but he was stressing a matter of principle. And I think he is right. Perhaps existing rules can allow for those two guys to be asked to appear before the law. Then Anas should invoke those rules, not ask for present rules to be tweaked for him.
Okoampa also took the opportunity to mention something else that many of us Ghanaians don't want to face: "Inducing judges into accepting bribes and then using the same as a legitimate pretext to incriminate them is not very wholesome."
I bet you, it is not wholesome at all...

Godd, LONTO-BOY did not misunderstand Prof Ahoofe. Anas asking the the police to arrest the two judges for criminal prosecution is not calling for a change in the law or making his own rules. That is actually the law. That is, the police must investigate crime and prosecute the perpetrators where there is a case to answer. The two retired judges committed a criminal offence by taking money and deliberately giving false judgement in their courts. Because they are retired Article 146 cannot be applied to them so the only option is criminal prosecution. Anas is not calling on the Chief Justice to apply Article 146 to the two retired judges.
The issue of statute of limitation does not apply in this case because the state was unaware of the crime until the video came out. If a crime is unknown the state cannot act on it. Once it becomes known, then the state will consider whether it would be in the interest of the public to prosecute and not the statute of limitation.

Folks, Okoampa really needs a serious cure for his river blindness. Have you looked at the names of the two judges this MORON is trying so hard to defend here? Your guess is as good as mine. Okoampa , if I were you (God forbid and as smart as you think you are) I would first look at the status of limitation and all the legalities concerning the issue of these two judges before I make a laughing stalk of myself by spewing this garbage but, masa okoampa being the FIRST CLASS FOOL he is, is itching to write in defends of his tribe men.
Why should we not get you wrong---you’ve been wrong since birth if you don’t know. This old man has allowed hatred, jealousy, tribalism to take hold of him that he has forgotten the wisdom God has bestow on him. His name should be matching the Soyinka’s , Ngugi Wathingo , Dambisa Moya etc in the Limelight . No wonder is not able to sell even 10 copies of his books .
Again folks, this Okoampo guy thinks he can fool us with his small brain. His real intention of writing this piece is to blast Anas (the true servant of God) for the Godly work he did and all because most of the names on the list have something to do with Mr.Okoampa’s lineage . Had these names being Amansuri , Kuboni , Togbe Elike , Nindo Abubakari, Mr.Okoampa will have run to the ICC for their heads.

Godd, you may not like the modus operandi of Anas but do not call it an inducement. It is used by investigative journalists across developed democracies and is legal. In fact, the judges' excuse that they were entrapped is an illegal defence in law. Do not defend the indefensible. If there were many more journalists using the same method in Ghana, corruption will be reduced.

Secondly, you are making a grave mistake by assuming that those who question Anas' methods are defending the indefensible. Exactly what is indefensible that we are defending? We are not defending anything or anybody. We are only calling to question an act that happens to catch criminals. How is that a defence of the criminals, if that is what you're driving at?
And nobody is talking about entrapment here. Why did you bring it in?

Folks stop playing semantics here. In the current context please explain the difference between inducement and entrapment. The difference if any in this case is meaningless. For the folks who question AAA's methods, are you aware it is both illegal and contrary to centuries of legal procedure for a judge to discuss pending cases outside of court or his chambers? Both sides in any legal matter must be present at all times. The moment any judge agrees to discuss a pending case outside the courtroom or his chambers he/she is in violation of the law period. Now someone please explain to me how AAA induced these criminals to discuss pending cases with him!! There was no inducement here, if these judges were not in the habit of accepting monetary benefits to pervert the course of justice they would not be on video bargaining for and accepting bribes. Crime is crime and AAA like any citizen is within his rights to petition law enforcement authorities to investigate and prosecute crime!! The two retired judges are no longer subject to the sections of the constitution governing the removal of judges, however they like everyone else are subject to the criminal code. No verbal gymnastics on this forum nor legal gymnastics in the courts negate this facts. Nothing further!
