The Police administration is collaborating with the Attorney General’s department on the alleged bribery scandal that has plagued the judiciary.
A statement issued on Friday also assured that it would look into the matter when the need arises.
[contextly_sidebar id=”sHHJTDUSc1odL2zmc47tAkA6L67ACCKa”] The statement signed by Director-General of the Public Affairs department of the Ghana Police Service, Rev. David Nenyi Ampah-Bennin said they are “in touch with the Attorney General’s office on the matter.”
Explaining further on Eyewitness News, the Director of Police Public affairs, DSP Cephas Arthur explained that the allegations against the judges’ bother on criminality and the Police will discharge their role as expected of them.
“If anything adverse is found against persons that have been named, definitely it will bother on criminality and then the Police will have to definitely come in.”
DSP Cephas Arthur again dismissed claims that the service has no moral right to be involved in the matter.
“The fact that one or two person within the field of the Police service may have been cited for one offence or the other does not mean that we don’t have the moral right to do our work as law officer,” he added.
22 judges out of 34 have been suspended by the Judicial Council following a video by journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas that captured them taking bribes, in some instances to influence judgments.
