The development comes after the Kumasi-based lawyer Afrifa accused the Chief Justice of suggesting that he [Afrifa] is replaced with Akoto Ampaw as part of the deal. Additionally, Akoto Ampaw in the concluding part of his response sighted by GhanaWeb outlined some five "facts" regarding Afrifa and the bribery accusations levelled against the Chief Justice. On 31st March, 2021, the Supreme Court granted our application by a four to one ruling. Beyond that I have had no dealings whatsoever with the Chief Justice in this matter. Even more preposterous is the infantile idea that I would collude with anyone, much more the Chief Justice of our Republic, to subvert the cause of justice.
