Ghana’s bishops decry judicial corruption

October 09, 2015

Over two dozen judges in Ghana have been suspended for accepting bribes, prompting the bishops of Ghana to renew their condemnation of government corruption.

“We believe that this alleged scandal has generated all the attention it has generated because it involves the third arm of government and the very foundation upon which the nation and for that matter every civilized nation in the world is built, that is, the rule of law,” stated the bishops, according to a Fides report.
