Investigative Journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, today appeared before the Committee hearing the case of the bribery allegations against 22 Circuit Court judges and Magistrates. 

The undercover Journalist who wore a veil as a disguise was chauffeur driven. 

He was in a long apparel with a pair of trousers, and in the company of a sound man and a camera man with police protection. 

His visit to the premises of the Judicial Service was to be cross-examined on the allegation of gross corruption his investigation company, Tigereyepi, levelled against some judges and court staff as captured on video. 

Radio Ghana's correspondents on the ground report that the Committee could however not sit today/ yesterday because one of its members, Nene Amegatcher, who is the President of the Ghana Bar Association is at the BAR Conference in Kumasi. 

The Committee will sit on Friday.

Meanwhile, a private Legal Practitioner, Abraham Amaleba says the suspension of the meeting to hear Anas Aremeyaw Anas is the right way to go to enable the court to assess the merit of the alleged bribery scandal.  

Speaking to Radio Ghana, Mr. Amaleba agreed that Justice Dery and other colleagues are only buying time by going to court. But he believes that will not in anyway exonerate them.  

He said it is not proper to stop Anas from showing the video because Ghanaians have the right to know what it contains.  

Mr. Amaleba also revealed that the video  is with Aljazeera which can  show it at anytime.
