Ashanti Region: Chief Justice inaugurates district court at Bonwire
Justice Anin Yeboah said easy access to quality justice delivery at all levels is a top priority for the judicial service.
The Chief Justice his Lordship Kwasi Anin Yeboah has inaugurated a new district court at Bonwire in the Ejisu Municipality of the Ashanti Region.
Speaking at the event, Justice Anin Yeboah said easy access to quality justice delivery at all levels is a top priority for the judicial service.
Commending the chiefs and people for their support in the successful completion of the project, he also said the new district court would ease the stress associated with travelling long distances to seek justice.
Efforts to expand court infrastructure in various districts stepped up especially last year with the inauguration of newly built court edifices. Of the lot, these include a new High Court at Sowutuom, in the Ga-Central Municipality, a court facility at the Nadowli-Kaleo District of the Upper West Region, and a High court with additional responsibility as a child-friendly gender-based violence Circuit court in Nalerigu, the regional capital of the North-East Region.
Perhaps the highlight of these was the inauguration of the new Court of Appeal complex in Kumasi, together with twenty (20) townhouses and a guesthouse to serve as permanent residence for Justices of the Court of Appeal serving the northern sector of the country.
In March 2022, during the State of the Nation’s Address, President Akufo-Addo indicated that his government began a project to provide 100 courthouses and accompanying residences for judges and magistrates across the country.
“We have embarked on a project to provide one hundred (100) courthouses and accompanying residences for judges and magistrates around the country. Fifty of them are being built and are near completion, and should be handed over to the Judiciary soon,” President Nana Addo said in March 2022.
