President Akufo-Addo has praised the performance of the Office of the Attorney General under his administration.
During his State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Tuesday, February 27, President Akufo-Addo highlighted the significant role played by the Attorney-General's Office in saving the state from paying judgment debts totalling GH¢10 trillion.
He emphasised the importance of acknowledging such achievements to inspire others.
"The Attorney-General has continued, in a very effective manner, the tradition under this administration of contesting every civil litigation against the state, and has avoided the numerous judgment debts that used to be given against the state. The Office, as a result, has saved the country over ten trillion Ghana cedis (GH¢10 trillion)."
Additionally, President Akufo-Addo announced plans to soon commission the Law House, which will serve as the headquarters for the offices of the Attorney-General and his Ministry.
"I shall be performing a pleasant duty, in a few weeks, when I commission the Law House, the 12-storey office building, which will house the offices of the Attorney-General and his Ministry, and, finally, bring an end to the age-old office accommodation problem.
"I must declare a personal interest in it, as the building was started when I was Attorney General in the Government of President John Agyekum Kufuor, back in 2001."
