Sophia Akuffo, immediate past Chief Justice of Ghana
The immediate past Chief Justice of Ghana, Sophia Akuffo, says Asawase lawmaker, Mohammed-Mubarak Muntaka, has defamed all Supreme Court justices in the country with his bribery allegation.
The NDC lawmaker has claimed a Supreme Court judge made an offer through a phone conversation to a member of the NDC caucus in Parliament to vote for former Speaker Aaron Mike Oquaye during the Speakership contest.
He has subsequently insisted he will back the claim with evidence if need be. Professor Oquaye lost the Speakership position to the NDC candidate Alban Bagbin.
Commenting on the development, Madam Akuffo said the allegation upsets her.
