The Special Court hearing cases on the massive corruption scandal that has hit the Judiciary has dismissed the contempt case brought against Anas Aremeyaw Anas, Starr FM, the Media Foundation and others.
Justice Paul Uuter Dery one of the 34 judges whose complicity has been established in the bribery scandal unraveled by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, filed the writ seeking the court to imprison the Chief Executive Officer of EIB Network Nathaniel Kwabena Anokye Adisi, popularly known as Bola Ray, and Anas for contempt of court.
The court in the ruling today, Tuesday September 29, said it found the contempt charge frivolous since the applicant had previously withdrawn the initial suit against the showing of the video.
Others joined in the suit were the acting Editor of the New Crusading Guide, Samuel Frimpong; the Deputy Editor of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Ernest Addo and the Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Sulemana Braimah.
“Unless and until this honourable court convicts the respondents herein, they will continue to publish prejudicial articles in respect of the said case. In the circumstance, I pray that this obvious disregard to the Court amounts to nothing more than contempt of Court of which the Respondents ought to be convicted and punished,” he prayed the court.
Justice Dery, was seeking to block the video which was shown at the Accra International Conference Centre last week.
He was reportedly caught on camera taking bribe to compromise a case before him.
