The Member of Parliament for Asawase in the Ashanti Region, Hon. Muntaka Mohammed has been asked by the Chief Justice to assist in investigations concerning a bribery allegations against a Supreme Court judge.
It would be recalled that on last Sunday, the Chief Whip of the NDC Caucus in Parliament, Muntaka Mohammed alleged that a Supreme Court Judge tried to bribe NDC MPs to vote in favour of Prof. Mike Oquaye during the Speaker of Parliament elections on January 7, 2021.[ads2]
But in a release, the Chief Justice believes the allegation of impropriety by the legislator is a matter of grave import to the integrity of the judiciary.[ads3]
The Chief Justice has therefore called on Hon. Muntaka Mohammed to assist in investigations to establish the fact so that the matter can be dealt with properly.
