It has been months since Anas Aremeyaw Anas shocked all of us with his expose detailing corruption in the judiciary.
It pulled back the lid on what had long been suspected, yet for some of the implicated judges they refuse to back down and own their complicity.
Two of them, Justices Paul Dery and Gilbert Ayisi Addo, have now filed a suit against the Chief Justice and the Judicial Council, demanding that they be paid their full salaries and that the revocation of their allowances should be overturned.
The two were paid half salaries and lost all allowances after they were implicated in Anas’ expose.
Their writ calls the measure unconstitutional, and demands the court order the payment of their monies. Aside the Chief Justice and Judicial Council, other defendants include the Judicial Secretary, the Director of Finance of the Judicial Service, the Pay Master and the Controller and Accountant General.
Read the writ below…
“A declaration that the decision by the 1st Defendant on 16th December, 2015, and which is contained in letters dated 8th and 11th January, 2016 purporting to place the Plaintiffs on “half salary with immediate effect” is inconsistent with and in contravention of Article 127(5) of the 1992 Constitution and therefore unconstitutional, null and void.
“A declaration that the decision by the 1st Defendant on 16th December, 2015, and which is contained in letters dated 8th and 11th January, 2016 purporting to suspend the payments to the Plaintiffs of all their “allowances except rent” is inconsistent with and in contravention of Article 127(5) of the 1992 Constitution and therefore unconstitutional, null and void.
“An order nullifying the above named decisions by the 1st Defendant taken on the 16th of December, 2015 and which are contained in letters dated 8th and 11th January, 2016.
“An order of perpetual injunction restraining the 1st Defendant, its assigns, privies, servants, agents etc. and in particular the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Defendants from implementing the two decisions of the 1st Defendant taken on the 16th December, 2015 and which are contained in letters dated 8th and 11th January, 2016.
“Any other order(s) that this Honourable Court may deem fit to make,” the plaintiffs averred in the suit.
