The president of Ghana-John Dramani Mahama has finally spoken about investigative journalist-Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ recent video which exposes certain judges, police officers and judicial officers as corrupt—for taking different forms of bribes meant to influence the wheel of justice.

Anas’ revelation has caused nationwide panic with several of the indicted judges and officers worried—now that that a committee has been set up to thoroughly look into the findings of the ace journalist.

The ordinary citizens are worried too—especially, being aware of how cheaply those in charge of justice sell it for and the total disregard for the rule of the law.

The president took to his facebook to post a re-assuring message, saying;

“I always supported, and will always support the rule of law and our justice system. What we uncovered these days is that some people, judges, judicial officers and policemen, seemed to be willing to transgress the principles of a fair justice, to their own interest.

Such persons should be subjected to what they, perhaps, denied others: a fair investigation and a fair trial. Sometimes the principles are to be re-learned the hard way, because justice should always be served.

We must also understand that this is a problem of some people who may or may not be guilty: it’s for the investigators and the judges to decide. However, this is not a problem of our judicial system as a whole. This is not something to make us lose our faith in the judicial system. On the contrary, the investigations that began these days prove beyond doubt that our justice system is intact and working, served by many people with integrity and determination.
