Chief Justice of Ghana, His Lordship Justice Anim-Yeboah, has inaugurated an ultra-modern circuit court at Pokukrum in the Ahafo Ano South East District in the Ashanti Region.

In his welcome address at the ceremony, the chief Justice stated that the inauguration was a result of the collective effort of the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralization and Rural Development, the District Assembly Common Fund Secretariat, and the Judicial Service.

He added that it was an unprecedented initiative that was aimed at addressing the problem of inadequate court infrastructures across the country, from which the good people of Pokukrum and other districts will now benefit from it.

Chief Justice applauded the government’s responsiveness to the Judiciary’s vision of ensuring equal and affordable access to quality justice and enhancing public confidence in the justice delivery and court administration system.

Former Chief Justice, His Lordship Justice Anim-Yeboah said that the inauguration of the Circuit Court is the fulfillment of the strategic vision of the Judicial Service to enhance the citizen’s access to quality justice by establishing courts near users who hitherto traveled long distances for justice.

Chief Justice urged Ghanaians to help maintain the beauty of the court.

Hon. Francis Manu Adabor speaking to Otec Fm news reporter, Ebenezer Owusu Ansah, gave thanks to the president for his wonderful support given to various districts.

He added that the district will be getting more than 30 police officers to beef up the security services in the district.
