Akufo-AddoTakes $5 Million Bribe Report

 


The fate of Chief Justice Kwasi Anin-Yeboah is in doubt because there is no clear indication of whether a prima facie case was established in a petition to the President to have him investigated over the alleged $5 million bribe.

Last Friday, the Council of State, led by its Chairman, Nana Otuo Siriboe II, visited Jubilee House and presented a report on the petition to President Akufo-Addo, who had asked them (the Council) to advise him (the Prez) on the matter.

The Presidential Press Corps was permitted to attend the first part of the meeting, but the second session was held behind closed doors.

“I know you have formidable jurists in your midst, so the necessary guidance that the rest of you, the lay men in the Council of State had, including the archbishop and others, that guidance has been well given,” President Akufo-Addo stated.

He expressed gratitude to the Council for their intervention and assured them that he would carefully review their report. According to him, the case law that had been the understanding of Article 146, Adjei Twum and others versus the Attorney General, required him to consult with the Council to determine whether the petition that had been sent to him raised some prima facie case warranting the establishment of a committee.

A lawyer, Mr Akwasi Afrifa, claimed that the Chief Justice demanded a USD$5 million bribe from his client, Nana Ogyeedom Obranu Kwesi Atta IV, in order to influence his case before the Supreme Court.

The Chief Justice denied the allegation and directed that the case be investigated by the Police Criminal Investigations Department and the General Legal Council.

According to the law, the President had no choice but to refer the matter to the Council of State to determine whether or not there was a prima facie case against the Chief Justice that warranted further investigation or his removal.

Check out what the Ghanaian army did to a fake soldier.

Aside from crime and a variety of other social vices, one of the few issues that Ghanaians face the most is the use of false identities. These are not the identities of those who are citizens or do not hold prominent positions in the government, but rather military and other security personnel. There have been many reports of military members brutalizing citizens who dress like them and being chastised for it. However, according to the military guys we've met, this is merely to put a stop to these activities. There have been countless instances where persons in false police and army uniforms have been able to infringe on the rights of the innocent and get away with it while blaming the military or police. This young man who claims to be a soldier has been apprehended and is being dealt with in the barracks, according to a popular video today. According to reports, he has effectively wooed individuals not just into believing he is a military guy, but also into giving them employmen

 The abrupt shift in Yaa Jackson's persona has piqued people's interest. People have been puzzled as to why the formerly cool child has transformed into a social media freak, posting crazy and exposing videos of herself. Her arrival on the music scene was unexpected. Unlike other female youthful musicians, Yaa Jackson entered the music industry with a bad trend and has maintained it ever since. Some of us who knew her at an early age are disappointed by her actions and the type of music she performs. Well, it appears that the answer we've all been searching for has arrived, and it's coming from her biological brother. In an interview, Yaa Jackson's brother, Jackson K. Nyame 'Sherf,' alias Kumerica 'Cardi B,' disclosed some profound truths about his sister, her music career, and her connection with God.

Check Out What These SHS Students Were Up To In The Back Of Their Dormitory[Video ]

 The discipline of the highest calibre. Disgraceful behaviour that spews disgrace and a poor moral upbringing. It appears that these young Senior High School students are unaware that indecent exposure in the public domain is punishable by law, as they engaged in the open play of a very serious offence, violating the school's acceptable conduct and violating national laws. In a video shared on social media, the students were seen engaging in a hot afternoon entanglement at the back of the school's boys dormitory, with no fear of being caught during class hours. There is no regard for their education, only blatant irresponsibility. It seems s*x and other romantic games mostly meant for married couples have made their way to supposed “future leaders” of our country as a young girl was seen recently s**king a male colleague. The indiscipline amongst students has become rampant as Senior high school students have become the Topic for discussion these past weeks as videos show them
