They are required to submit their
responses to the Chief Justice after watching the video which allegedly
captures them taking bribes or acting as middle men.
Speaking to Citi News
after watching the video, counsel for four of the implicated staff,
Egbert Faibille Jnr. also joined the others accused of wrong doing, to
abandon plans to premier the video.
Among other reasons, he argued that that the footage contains the images of some minors, which also makes it unethical for its publication.
“At least I saw one child in the video.
Are you going to show a child to the world because his or her parent was
engaged in some discussions with somebody? We are talking about
permanent records and I think that the frenzy should come down.”
Egbert Faibille Jnr said after watching
the video, he thinks “it should not be a conclusive basis for finding
anybody guilty until people have gone through the due process.”
“From what I have seen, certain
considerations ought to be recognized in portions of what took place
behind or around them which had been taken off.”
The lawyer argued that there is no “equitable basis” for the video to be shown to the public.
He said they are awaiting to receive
certain documentations from the judicial service saying “once we get
them, we will furnish them [Judicial Service] with our responses.”
In a related development, the judges who were also captured on the video had an exclusive viewing last week.
Some of the implicated judicial service staff in the bribery scandal have begun watching the video.
