Corruption fight sabotaged by 'procured' judges and judicial delays – Domelevo - MyJoyOnline

Corruption Fight in Ghana

Ghana's former Auditor-General, Daniel Domelevo, has criticized the nation's anti-corruption efforts.

He alleges that the fight is being undermined by a judiciary susceptible to political and financial manipulation.

Highly resourceful corruption suspects are employing powerful lawyers and 'procuring' judges to ensure indefinite delays until a favourable change of government facilitates the collapse of their cases.

Alleged Strategy

According to Mr. Domelevo, the goal is not to win the case on merit but to stretch the proceedings across electoral cycles, exploiting Ghana's partisan political system.

He insists that unless the judicial system undergoes radical and urgent reform, the retrieval of stolen state funds will remain impossible.

Author's summary: Ghana's anti-corruption fight is hindered by corrupt judges.
