According to him, an investigation by the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council (GLC) and the Judicial Services will be impartial because the Chief Justice chairs that body. Speaking on Accra-based Citi FM, monitored by GhanaWeb, Vitus Azeem said, Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) would conduct a more credible investigation into the said allegations. “The GLC should not be the one investigating the matter because the Chief Justice is the Chair of that body. “He further informed me that the Chief Justice had demanded a bribe of US$5,000,000 for a successful outcome to his case and that he had already paid US$500,000 to the Chief Justice. He said he wanted the payment in dollars because he was raising the remainder of the money to be paid the Chief Justice, and that currency was the currency of choice.
