A son of the late High Court Judge accused by lawyer Chris Ackumey of taking a GHS500.00 bribe is incensed over the allegation and has vowed to clear his father\u2019s name.<\/p>\n
Jonah Abanga insists his father had proven beyond every reasonable doubt that he was not corrupt and wondered why anybody would accuse him after his death.<\/p>\n
His father, Andrew Abanga has been cited by Chris Ackumey, a leading lawyer with the National Democratic Congress, as one of the corrupt judges in the judiciary.<\/p>\n
Ackumey in a vehement defence of the assertion that corruption in the Judiciary was no longer a perception but a reality, claimed to have raised the GHS500.00 bribe money which was paid to registrar in the presence of four others for onward submission to the late Judge Abanga while he lived.<\/p>\n
The NDC lawyer has dared the Judicial Council to conduct a thorough investigation into the allegation, insisting it is incriminating and a palpable exposure of a corrupt judicial system.<\/p>\n
His allegations have ruffled the nerves of the family of the late Judge who have vowed to use every means possible to clear the name of their father.<\/p>\n
Jonah Abanga told Joy News\u2019 Paa Kwesi Asare his father was highly incorruptible.<\/p>\n
He said his father had on numerous occasions turned away people who brought him gifts and bribes meant to corrupt him.<\/p>\n
He does not see his father collecting a GHS500.00 bribe from any person.<\/p>\n
He said his father left an old rickety corolla vehicle as inheritance for his family, obviously not a sign of a rich, corrupt judge, he argued.<\/p>\n
Jonah Abanga expressed worry over the eternal damnation the allegation will have on his family\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n
He said he will follow through with the Judicial Council to ensure that justice is done to the baseless allegation.<\/p>\n
