According to ASEPA, the response from the presidency is in line with what they expected. The CJ was accused by Lawyer Kwasi Afrifa that he had asked for a US$5 million bribe to deliver a favourable judgment in a case involving his client. ASEPA in a petition last month called on the president to activate provisions of Article 146 of the 1992 constitution to begin impeachment proceedings against Kwasi Anin-Yeboah. (7) The committee appointed under clause (6) of this article shall inquire into the petition and recommend to the President whether the Chief Justice ought to be removed from office. (9) The President shall, in each case, act in accordance with the recommendations of the committee.
