Justice Paul Dery has petitioned the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) to withdraw the Best Journalist Award conferred on Anas Aremeyaw Anas over his investigative piece on the Judiciary.Dery is in court challenging Anas’ works which also implicated him in the alleged judicial corruption scandal involving 22 Magistrates and 12 High Court Judges.Dery contends that since he is contesting Anas’ petition to get him out of office, it is therefore pre-judicial for the umbrella body of the inky fraternity to pat the international award-winning journalist on the back for his work which is in contention.
Dery described the actions of the GJA as “blatant wrong” which must be addressed immediately, else he will head to court.
