Sekondi, September 25,GNA- Mr Justice George K. Acquah, the Chief Justice, said on Thursday that, he is determined to establish a disciplined and efficient Judicial system that will impartially administer justice.
He was opening a one-day course on judicial statistics and performance management for registrars, court clerks, auditors and officers of the research and monitoring unit of the judicial service in the Western Region.
It was organised by the Institute of Continuing Judicial Education of Ghana (ICJEG) in Sekondi.
Mr Justice Acquah said he has identified lapses in the Judicial Service that militate against efficient performance, and that they will be properly addressed.
He said poor and unreliable record management, favouritism, nepotism and indiscipline as some of the lapses.
Mr Justice Acquah said a section of the Service felt they were “untouchable because of their connections and can do whatever they like”.
He said he would not hesitate to punish any member of staff of the service from judges to those in the lowest grades who misbehaves “because they are all equal before the law”.
Mr Justice Acquah said his administration is doing everything possible to improve conditions of service for the Judiciary.
