President John Mahama has reaffirmed his government’s dedication to improving Ghana’s justice system to ensure fairness, impartiality, and equality for all.
Speaking at the 92nd Jalsa Salana of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission Ghana at Gomoa Pomadze in Winneba in the Central region, he emphasised the central role of justice in national development.
“Justice and peace are the bedrock of our national aspirations, and as the Holy Quran reminds us, we are called to uphold justice even against ourselves,” he said.
“Justice must always not only be done but must be seen to be done and must be felt by all. Justice is a moral compass that must guide our every decision, every law, and every interaction in our nation.”
The President pledged that his administration would work to strengthen judicial independence and address systemic inequalities in the justice system. He assured Ghanaians that every citizen, regardless of status or background, would be treated with dignity and fairness under the law.
“To this end, the new NDC administration is resolutely committed to strengthening our justice system. To achieve this, we must move the stalled constitutional review process forward,” he noted.
“I will soon establish a committee to plan a National Constitutional Review Validation Conference, allowing us to build broad consensus on the proposed constitutional amendments.”
By prioritising constitutional reforms and addressing systemic inequalities, he aims to build a nation where justice is not just a principle but a lived reality for every citizen.
