On Tuesday, 23rd July 2024, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo presided over the swearing-in ceremony of sixteen (16) new Justices of the Court of Appeal at Jubilee House.
This significant event reaffirms our unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of law and strengthening our judiciary.
The addition of these distinguished Justices, comprised of twelve men and four women, will undoubtedly enhance the delivery of justice in our beloved country.
Each of these new Justices has been meticulously chosen based on their impartiality, integrity, and deep knowledge of the law. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Justice Charles Gyamfi Danquah, Justice Gifty Dekyem, Justice Kofi Akrowiah, Justice Richard Mac Kogyapwah, Justice Kwasi Boakye, Justice Alexander Osei Tutu, Justice Francis Obiri, Justice Lydia Osei Marfo, Justice Aboagye Tandoh, Ms. Mariam Agyeman Gyasi Jawhary, Ms. Yaa Onyameye Gyakobo, Mr. Francis Koffie, Mr. Charles William Zwennes, Barima Yaw Kodie Oppong, Mr. David Kwabena Adade Boafo, and Dr. Poku Adusei on their well-deserved appointments.
Their elevation is a testament to their hard work and dedication to the principles of justice.
“The Judiciary is the bedrock upon which our democracy stands, safeguarding the rights and freedoms of our citizens. As we welcome these new judges, we are reminded of the solemn duty that comes with judicial office—a duty that demands integrity, wisdom, and a steadfast devotion to justice. The decisions made in the Court of Appeal have far-reaching implications, and I am confident that these new Justices will uphold the highest standards of fairness and impartiality.
In recent years, we have made significant strides in reforming and modernizing our judicial system. However, there is still much work to be done. With the support of my administration, we will continue to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of justice in Ghana. I urge the new Justices to approach their duties with humility, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility, ensuring that our Judiciary remains a beacon of hope and a pillar of strength for our democracy. May God bless the new Justices, the Chief Justice, and all members of the Judiciary, and may God bless our homeland Ghana” president Akufo-Addo emphasized.
