The swearing-in of the new judges and magistrates, expected to take place on Thursday, January 7, forms part of a planned process by the Judicial Council to replace all the corrupt judges exposed by Anas.<\/p>\n

The painstaking investigation which lasted for two years was the biggest scandal in the history of Ghana\u2019s Judicial Service.<\/p>\n

The Chief Justice has said the service is committed to bringing the matter to a full closure, as the other accused judges and about 100 judicial service staff, are yet to know their fate.
