You have a duty to guard integrity of Judiciary – Nana Addo to Judges & Lawyers

President Nana Akufo-Addo has underscored the need for the judiciary to guard the integrity of the judicial process in the country.

This he noted will make citizens have confidence in the system in the country and deepen our democracy and promote economic growth. The Anas expose on corruption within the judicial he lamented tarnish the image of judicial process.

He made the comments when he delivered a speech at 10th anniversary of the Homce Call of the late Chief Justice George Acquah, OSG.

He said: ‘’…there is a consolable concern within the Ghanaian public about the integrity of our judicial system.

It was badly damaged a couple of years ago by a video exposé put together by investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas. Confidence, in the judicial system of any country, is necessary for a thriving democracy and economic growth, and as such, all of us, including members of the bar and the bench, have a duty to guard the integrity of the judicial process jealously.’’

The president added: ‘’…our judicial system must catch up with modern technology. The question has been asked: is the court a service or a place where parties meet to settle their differences.

I believe that it is time for us to accept that justice delivery is a service and just like any other service, the customer must be satisfied with the entire process of the service, in this case, justice.

When we have an efficient delivery of justice through our courts, investors, domestic and foreign, will be encouraged to invest their resources in Ghana because they can be assured of an efficient and business-friendly judicial system.”

He eulogized the late Chief Justice saying: ”The late Chief Justice Acquah was a firm supporter of the introduction of technology in the operations of the judicial system.

It is my prayer that the soul of the late Chief Justice Acquah will continue to rest in perfect peace in the bosom of our Lord. May his legacy inspire many generations to come.”
