John Ndebugri, lawyer for some of the implicated judges in Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ investigative piece says the latest claims by anti-corruption campaigner; Martin Amidu will help unravel the “truth” in the matter.
He said Mr. Amidu’s piece “will inure to the benefit of whoever is being dealt with under the petition he [Anas] presented [to the Chief Justice].”
[contextly_sidebar id=”qFFkdOY5kFnpB5mJk6wLUpAEBwWAslOs”]Martin Amidu in his recent write-ups accused Anas of using a “not-for profit” anti-corruption investigation for his own entrepreneurial work and tagged him as an “anti-corruptionpreneur.”
According to Mr. Amidu, Anas edited the supposed corruption video to shield some corrupt judges who according to him, are still at post.
“Even as I write, there is evidence that some judges who were also offered and accepted bribes by the commissioned undercover investigators are still working as judicial officers because the investigators have not yet submitted any petition to the President due to hitches with the video recordings but have notified the Chief Justice and the Judicial Council of these facts,” Amidu added.
Commenting on the matter on the Citi Breakfast Show, Lawyer Ndebugri questioned the integrity of Anas and his Tigereye PI team.
“The integrity of Tigereye PI has been put in question. That will inure to the benefit of whoever is being dealt with under the petition he presented. Who polices the policeman? This is the policeman that someone has also come out to say he is also subject to the failings of mankind. So how are we going to be sure that just because he came and brandish a video recording on a screen in utter disrespect of the law, means that these people must be convicted and dealt with the way the public is praying for their blood.”
Lawyer Ndebugri, who had always kicked against Anas being hooded before the judicial committee said “Amidu’s intervention will help us to try and look deeper into the matter so that we can get to the bottom of this matter concerning the truth.”
“What is important is that, we must discover the truth connected with all these matters,” he added.
