B'COS IT INVOLVES SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO FLOAT ABOVE THE LAW. DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT IN GHANA EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON WHOM YOU KNOW, CERTAIN PEOPLE, THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS CAN GET AWAY WITH MURDER, ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE CAN GET CERTAIN JOBS, DO YOU NOT KNOW ALL THESE THINGS? GHANA IS LAWLESS COUNTRY. IF THE LAWS WORK, THERE WOULD BE PROGRESS, INSTEAD THERE IS DISORDER AND LAWLESSNESS.

UK CHARGES VAT SO GHANA HAD TO CHARGE VAT. MEANWHILE MANY RELATIVELY POORER 3RD-WORLD COUNTRIES THAT DO NOT CHARGE VAT HAVE BETTER PERFORMING ECONOMIES.
GHANA CHARGES WICKED IMPORT DUTIES, FUEL TARIFFS, UTILITY TARIFFS ETC, YET GHANA'S ECONOMY IS ALWAYS ON THE BACKWARD SLIDE DESPITE OUR POTENTIAL WEALTH.

What is the use of the various investigation agencies we have in the country,they cannot investigate this case before if there is any wrong doing the case goes to court,a Supreme Court Justice is now investigator,a Diplomat is now investigators?
It is no more the law but the power,the entire case is useless,it is not going anywhere.

They can have a random way,computer generated way of appointing judges to sit on such cases but not hand picked by a party to the lawsuit to preside over her own case,it is not a difficult thingto do,it is just for fairness sake that the Chief Justice recuse herself in appointment of the presiding judge,in this case it is just like her presiding over her own case.
There is nothing like public interest if there is miscarriage of justice,miscarriage of justice is not in the interest of any country.

An Appeals Court judge hearing an application for injunction brought by 14 circuit court judges and magistrates accused of taking bribes says a committee investigating the matter may have to suspend its work.The 14 stormed the High Court early this month asking it to stop disciplinary proceedings instituted against them by the Chief Justice, Georgina Theodora Wood.They are amongst 22 circuit court judges and magistrates suspended by the Chief Justice after they were caught on camera allegedly taking bribes to pervert justice.A five-member committee was set up to probe the allegations but the 14 argued that what the Chief Justice did was unlawful and without due process and prayed the court to injunct it.The committee, chaired by a Supreme Court judge, Justice Sophia Adinyira had earlier indicated that the probe would go on regardless of the suit. It has, however, postponed sitting on two occasions.Meanwhile, in court today, Joy News’ Kwakye Afreh Nuamah reports that Appeals Court judge, Justice Gertrude Torkono, sitting with additional responsibilities as a High Court judge, indicated firmly that the committee ought to halt its work because of pendency of the case against same.She explained that once the application of injunction has been served, it is deemed as a de-facto injunction. Justice Torkono said she, therefore, does not expect the committee to continue with the hearing, Afreh reported.More soon

The exposed judges must show remorse instead of choosing to live in denial and play the stubborn cat. If they had not lost their heads by this time already, they would have known that, they are subject to the Chief Justice and the Attorney General/President and that it is not in their interest to litigate with these authorities. Commonsense and good reasoning would suggest that, it would take an immaculately very good case for someone to be able to defeat the combined force of the Chief Justice and the Attorney General/President in any law court of the land. It is self-evident that, any presiding judge that "jokes" and frustrates the Chief Justice in his/her court has written a bad report for him/herself and has thus ruined his/her own future.
The only way for the disgraced judges to reclaim their lost reputation is for them to show remorse for their shocking misbehaviour and humbly, tearfully plead for mercy.

Look at you people comparing Asamoah gyan to Abedi Ayew (pele), can asamoah play the kind of football Abedi Ayew played? Shame on you guys. We all know that this is going no where the judges will be set free. Is just a formality that Chief Justice has to follow for Ghanaian to think justice will prevail.
