A Hypocritical Citizenry

I had to squint just to be sure I was reading right. I put the other pillow behind me so I don’t hurt my back as I sat up from my bed. ‘Twas ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas’s latest exposé on the extent of rot in the third arm of government – the judiciary. Come on, we all knew that some judges were corrupt but what we lacked was what Anas has provided – evidence, and it was mind-blowing. Four senior legal practitioners a couple of years back alluded to the existence of the canker permeating the corridors of those who play God here on earth. No evidence was provided, well so we thought until Abraham Amaliba averred that two of the judges were axed from their posts after their allegation. Why that wasn’t topical, I can’t hazard a guess. Again, if indeed those allegations turned out to be true, why weren’t the culprits prosecuted and made to sleep in the same cells as those they sentenced there? But hey, this is Ghana where money talks and crap walks.
