The Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, has urged the judiciary to be sensitive and diligent in their roles.
According to her, as people responsible for justice delivery It is critical to understand the structure of the justice infrastructure of the nation.
She noted that the judiciary cannot afford to have individuals who lack diligence, competence, and are unwilling to learn.
Speaking at the conference of the judiciary and peaceful elections, she said, “We cannot afford to be people to join in a money making mentality. I have come here to ask you as staff of judicial service, to be sensitive in your work and to be learners”.
“Justice is always according to law and the law of Ghana is complex, sophisticated, structured and diverse,” she said.
In addition, the Chief Justice highlighted the growing issue of land disputes dominating court dockets and the disturbing perception that the justice system is being manipulated for financial gain.
She urged the staff of Ghana's judiciary to uphold a strong sense of conscience, diligence, and integrity in their work, stressing that these values are essential not only for judges, whose basic qualification is moral character and proven integrity, but also for all judicial staff.
She also called on the staff to be attentive to their duties, recognising that justice must always be administered in accordance with the law.
