President John Evans Atta Mills on Wednesday swore-in three new Appeal Court Judges, restating his call on the Judiciary to work hard to remove the public perception that it is corrupt. They are Mrs Justice Agnes Mercy Abla Dordzie, Mr Justice Senyo Dzamefe and Mrs Dennis Dominic Adjei. President Mills administered the Judicial Oath, Secrecy and Allegiance, and later presented the judges with a scroll, which is a symbol of their instrument of office. He reminded the judges of their oath to dispense justice without fear, favour or affection or ill will, and urged them to handle cases brought before them on the merits, and without delay. President Mills, a lawyer by profession, acknowledged the pressure under which judges work, and gave government's assurance to endeavour to enhance their capacity and give judges the peace of mind to perform. Mrs Betty Mould-Iddrisu, Attorney General and Minister of Justice reiterated the call to adjudicate cases without fear. She announced that a Court of Appeal has been established in Kumasi to cater for the northern sector. The Chief Justice, Mrs Georgina Theodora Wood who announced the swearing-in of 16 High Court Judges on behalf of President Mills earlier, said it is quite a fortune in a developing nation to expand the number of judges. She said the Judicial Service is establishing Commercial Courts in all the regions and had introduced pre-trial conference to explore the possibility of settlements. Mrs Justice Wood urged the new judges to work with integrity and treat the people with courtesy to join other institutions of the State to build a prosperous Ghana. Mrs Justice Dordzie, on behalf of her colleagues, thanked President Mills for the opportunity to serve the people. She said the position carried serious responsibility, but added that it is her prayer that they would able to live by their oath and discharge their duties creditably to uphold the rule of law.
