The Judicial Service has asked the public to offer useful suggestions, fair and constructive criticisms that would improve qualitative justice, the rule of law and boost public confidence in the Judiciary.
This was contained in a statement issued in Accra and signed by Mrs Grace A. Tagoe, Director of Communications of the Service, on behalf of the Judicial Secretary.
It said, “Scurrilous or vitriolic attacks on the person of judges, wicked and unfounded allegations, open and veiled threats against judges are just unacceptable, beyond the bounds of decency. These are indeed wrong approaches to expressing dissent if indeed they are genuine dissent in constitutional democracies.”
“The Judiciary does not claim infallibility; we only ask that our judges be treated with respect, civility and decency. We destroy our governance institutions and the reputation of others through unguarded, malicious or mischievous statements to our own disadvantage,” the statement added.
It said “Anyone who believes the Chief Justice, Mrs Justice Georgina Theodora Wood, has intentionally violated any laws of this land, has a constitutional right to set the necessary constitutional provisions in motion for the appropriate sanctions to be taken against her”.
