People who are confident that any of the 34 judges cited in the latest corruption exposé by ace journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, ruled against them on any case can petition the Chief Justice for a retrial, Former President of the Ghana Bar Association, Sam Okudzeto has said.
“It is appropriate for the parties affected to petition exactly for that purpose because if a judge has actually collected money and gave judgment against you, and it is established that, that is what happened then you have every right to petition the Chief Justice for a retrial,” he told TV3 news.
