Dery is in court challenging Anas’ works which also implicated him in the alleged judicial corruption scandal involving 22 Magistrates and 12 High Court Judges. Dery described the actions of the GJA as “blatant wrong” which must be addressed immediately, else he will head to court. “By the GJA Award, are you not prejudicing the outcome of the case before the courts especially the Supreme Court? I am on administrative leave which I applied to enable me to use the legal process to clear my name and reputation which Anas Aremeyaw Anas has sought to tarnish,” he opined.
