Deal with judges found culpable in bribery scandal - Catholic Bishops tell CJ

The Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference has stated that the Tiger Eye PI exposé on the judicial bribery scandal should serve as a wake-up call to Ghanaians to come to terms with the extent to which bribery and corruption prevails in the society and to collectively work to tackle the canker head-on.

“Time and again, we have, through various communiqués, pastoral letters and press statements, among others, spoken about the twin evils of bribery and corruption in Ghana, emphasising the need for all of us to deal with this canker to save our nation from collapsing under the unbridled love for money,” it said.

A statement signed by its President, Most Rev Joseph Osei-Bonsu, said “present-day Ghana is openly and pervasively corrupt. People at all levels of society, including some Christians, are engaged in naked corruption with impunity”.

It was of the view that every Ghanaian had a role to play in fighting bribery and corruption.
