Judge Paul Uuter Dery lodged a formal complaint to
President John Mahama to investigate journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas to have him
and other justices of the superior court removed from office. According to the
judge, Anas lacks identity and is virtually non-existent.
“Your Excellency, we have the instructions of our
client to draw your attention to these serious identity problems of the
petitioner for in our view, the identity of the petitioner is paramount to any
petition for the removal of Justices of the Superior Court pursuant to Article
146 of the 1992 Constitution,” the letter intercepted said.
The 13-point letter dated Monday, February 8 asked
President Mahama to “cause an investigation to be conducted into the true
identity of the petitioner since from the evidence adduced herein, the
petitioner Tiger Eye PI who purported to file a petition with your office is
non-existent”. This letter was written by Justice Dery’s council on his behalf
which was then copied to the Chief Justice, Georgina Theodora Wood.
Justice Paul Uuter Dery is among 12 high court
judges indicted in a petition filed by Anas after a landmark exposure on the
judiciary.
