Breaking: Justice Dery loses "half-salary" battle at Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has refused to grant a request
by two of the High Court judges implicated in the
Anas judicial scandal to have their salary and
allowances fully restored.


The Judicial Council per a decision dated December
16, 2015 placed embattled judges, Justices Paul
Uuter Dery and Gilbert Ayisi Addo on “half
salary" pending investigation into allegations of
corrupt practices leveled against them by ace
investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

Consequent to the decision by the Judicial
Council, the two superior court judges filed a
writ at the Supreme Court to challenge the "half
salary" order, claiming it is in contravention of
Article 127 (5) of the constitution.

However, the five-member panel of justices on
Thursday held otherwise and accordingly dismissed
the writ, TV3's Komla Klutse reports
