One of the clerks that worked on the famous Presidential Commission set up to probe Ghana’s disastrous campaign at the 2014 World Cup and led by Appeals Court judge Justice Senyo Dzamefe has been implicated in the ongoing judicial bribery scandal.
The lady clerk was captured in the footage of award-winning undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas which was premiered at the Accra International Conference Center on Tuesday.
The clerk is one of several other Judicial Service workers facing serious sanctions for their involvement in the alleged bribery plot that has taken Ghana’s judiciary by storm.
She served as the middle-woman in connecting ‘Tiger’ [Anas] to one of the implicated High Court judges – Habib Logoh – caught in the footage which has since been tendered in as the primary evidence to start any form of punitive action against the alleged corrupt judges.
The clerk who is famous for leading King Faisal owner Alhaji Karim Gruzah in taking his oath and many others who appeared before the Justice Senyo Dzamefe-led commission was actually seen taking her share of the alleged bribe at the Media Center of the Accra Sports Stadium where the commission was holding its public sittings.
She without any shame or fear took some amount of money, cringed at it while providing advise as to how to approach Justice Habib Logoh, the High Court judge.
The video produced by Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his Tiger Eye team also caught board member of Hearts of Oak Ivy Heward-Mills also taking an alleged bribe as cheap as GHS 800.00 (just over $200) as the price for ‘justice’.
Heward-Mills, a High Court judge was one of the affluent individuals in Ghana’s society that managed to buy as many shares to earn a seat on the board of directors of the Ghana Premier League giants.
She is the only female High Court judge amongst twelve others caught in the video of the undercover investigations.
Thirty three other judges – eleven of whom are her colleagues at the High Court (two of them retired) – are currently before a committee set up by the Chief Justice Georgina Wood to determine whether the evidence provided is weighty enough to spark serious disciplinary hearings against the implicated judges.
