In an exclusive interview, Ghanaian investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas talks to RFI about the ongoing court cases against several judges implicated in his undercover sting operation revealing alleged corruption within Ghana’s judiciary. Anas speaks about Ghana’s 2016 elections and his next “huge” undercover investigation involving several African countries and the West. You play many different roles - are you a journalist, a policeman or a private investigator? I am anything that anybody wishes to call me - what is important to me is that I'm able to impact on society in a progressive manner. I'm able to solve situations within my continent very, very well. So I don't really mind what anybody refers to - you can call me a journalist, you can call me a spy, you can call me a private detective, whatever you want to call me. I love all those names. Is Anas Aremeyaw Anas one person or many? Anas is one person, on one hand - who started something - but Anas now is a brand. It is something that is done by many. So physically Anas is one person? Yes, physically Anas is one person who directs the work. But people can think of Anas as many? Yes, because of the impact and because of the kind of journalism that I embark on. It affects many lives and sometimes it's incredible and people begin to think that it is many people who do that. People have this notion that it's not possible for one person to be able to do it, but I can tell you it's one person, we do everything from scratch. Ghana goes to the polls this year. Do you think corruption in Ghana has improved or worsened under President John Mahama? I'd rather not look at it from a partisan political point of view because I'm not a politician. My work transcends all political parties, but I work as a journalist - name, shame and jail. I found corruption during the [John] Kufuor administration and I tackled it. I found corruption under the [John Atta] Mills administration and I tackled it. I found corruption under the Mahama administration and I tackled it. Corruption will always be there, it's our attitude towards it which makes the difference. My kind of journalism probably shows this more because it deals with three tenets - naming, shaming and jailing - I make sure I follow through to see that that is done. Perhaps that's what gives the notion that when I'm working within a particular government or within a particular dispensation, it becomes so glaring. However, if you look at it holistically, it is just that as a journalist you have to keep your eyes open. You have to make sure that it doesn't matter the colour of any administration, you've got to work because my commitment is to the people of Ghana and not to political parties. Has oil production in Ghana had an effect on corruption? Certainly, oil has attracted a lot of dubious characters into the country and it's not just Ghana, also Nigeria and many other oil-producing countries on the continent. What we have to do, whenever this happens - it must increase our antsy-ness, it must increase our sense of looking for where these bad guys are. I'm sure that, perhaps, many more bad guys would target Ghana and come this year, next year. What we have to do is make sure that whatever decisions have been taken - that we want to use our oil money for - we make sure that we police government. The effects of your investigation of corruption, alleged corruption within the judiciary are ongoing. Are you satisfied with the results? Has it gone far enough? It's been a very interesting moment, it started with the story breaking, scepticism as usual, people coming out fighting it, saying that, 'we didn't take the money'. I have always maintained a very cool dispensation or disposition, saying let time be the judge. Due process in itself is the way out, let's give them an opportunity, let them come with their lawyers, let's c
