The Alliance for Social Equity and Public Responsibility, ASEPA, has petitioned CHRAJ to investigate Chief Justice Justice Annin Yeboah amid allegations that he may have been bribed with five million dollars to influence the outcome of a court case.
In a statement signed by its Executive Director, Mensah Thompson, it says, it treats these allegations very seriously and contends that the conduct of the Chief Justice if found to be true is in serious violation of Chapter 24, which is the Code of conduct for public officers, and several other provisions in the laws.
The Chief Justice has already come out to deny the allegations and has also petitioned the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department, CID of the Ghana Police Service, to investigate the matter.
CHRAJ has acknowledged receipt of the petition and has noted that it will revert back to ASEPA in due time.
