Mahama charges new Supreme Court justices to protect judicial independence

President John Dramani Mahama has urged three newly sworn-in Justices of the Supreme Court to uphold the Constitution, protect judicial independence and ensure that their decisions strengthen public confidence in Ghana’s justice system.

Justice Asante was praised for combining national judicial experience with regional expertise gained from his tenure as President of the ECOWAS Court of Justice.

He expressed confidence that their combined judicial, regional and private-practice experience would deepen the Court’s deliberations and contribute to the continued development of Ghana’s legal and constitutional order.
