Judicial Scandal: Committee Reconvenes Today

The committee investigating allegations of corruption against 22 judges will sit today to continue its work. Their maiden meeting last Tuesday was called off due to the absence of a member of the committee. Lawyers for some of the magistrates are however pushing for an indefinite suspension of their meetings until a suit pending in court is determined. Some of the magistrates have filed a writ at the High Court questioning the legality of the process. The Chief Justice set up the committee to investigate allegations of corruption against the magistrates following the expos� by investigative journalist Anas Aremyaw Anas.
