Anas Aremeyaw Anas wins Journalist of the year 2015
Ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has been adjudged the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Journalist of the Year 2015. He took home Hyundai SUV plus a certificate and a plaque. Anas’ investigative piece on the judicial corruption scandal late 2015 shook the foundations of the revered arm of government, exposing the rot in justice delivery. Some 22 lower court judges and 12 High Court judges were captured on video in a two-year investigative piece by the international award-winning journalist and his Tiger Eye PI team, allegedly taking bribes to influence justice. So far, 20 of the lower court judges have been removed from office including some of their superiors. In his acceptance speech, Anas used the occasion to express gratitude to his team and “all those” who played a role in a successful investigation. In 2006 Anas was the GJA Journalist of the Year and picked the investigative journalist of the year prize in 2008. Below is a list of other award winners: Honorary Awards 1. Ideal Group
