Bribe? Don't Even Attempt It, Judge Serves Notice

A High Court judge in the Eastern Regional Capital of Koforidua has sent a strong signal to litigants and accused persons not to make any overtures aimed at bribing her.

In a curious notice posted on the notice board of the Koforidua High Court, the judge, Mrs Justice Gifty Dekyem gave the warning on what appears to be directed at a party to a suit, to desist from attempting to bribe her.

Mrs Justice Gifty Dekyem presides over the Koforidua High Court 3.

“I do not accept bribes and gifts. Do not give them out.

“You do not need to ‘see me’ to get justice.

“Do not approach me directly or indirectly in that regard”

“Thank you, Justice Gifty Dekyem (Mrs),” the notice read.
