Supreme Court judge nominee Justice Philip Bright Mensah has made a bold call for judicial reforms to address the pervasive issue of illegal mining, or ‘galamsey,’ in Ghana. Speaking during his vetting before Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, Justice Mensah proposed that judges presiding over galamsey-related cases should receive training in the Chinese language.
The suggestion stems from the recurring challenge of prosecuting foreign nationals, particularly Chinese individuals, implicated in illegal mining operations. Justice Mensah explained that language barriers often hinder effective prosecution.
“When they are arrested, especially these Chinese people, when they are arrested and sent to court, the difficulty is that they don’t speak English. Even if they can understand English, they refuse to speak English,” he emphasized.
