The disciplinary committee of Ghana’s judicial council will Thursday begin its inquiry into corruption in the judiciary following a two-year investigation by top journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
In all 180 court officials, including 22 lower court judges and 12 high court judges, are facing removal procedures following the report which allegedly shows them on tape extorting money and taking bribes, reports the BBC.
From Thursday, the 22 lower court judges will be suspended. The high court judges will continue in their jobs, but must respond to the allegations against them by the close of today.
