Businessman Richard Jakpa's petition alleging unfair treatment by Judge Afia Serwaa Botwe in the ambulance trial has been dismissed by Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
Jakpa claimed he was denied rights and sought the judge's transfer due to perceived bias and mistreatment, including during cross-examination.
The Chief Justice cited a lack of evidence to substantiate Jakpa's claims.
Despite Jakpa's assertions and his petition to the Chief Justice detailing instances of alleged bias and denial of rights, the dismissal underscores procedural challenges in addressing his grievances within the judicial system.
