Background

The Chief Justice is soliciting the assistance of Asawase MP Muntaka Mubarak in investigations into allegations of bribery on the part of a Supreme Court Judge.

The MP alleged that bribery was intended to solicit votes during the Speaker of Parliament elections in the chamber in other to usher Professor Mike Oquaye of the NPP into victory.

According to Muntaka, “There was one that was led by, I mean so shamefully, a Supreme Court judge [who] called a colleague lady, telling her what they will give her, she has children [and] they will take care of her children; she can take fuel from the filling station for the four years.”
