President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has sworn in 21 High Court Judges at the Jubilee House.
The President at the ceremony reiterated the importance of the judiciary to Ghana’s democratic growth.
He asked the new judges to serve with dedication and diligence.
“It is therefore critical for the growth of our nation and the High Court commands the respect of our people by the quality of decisions and comportment of the judges. So to you, the newly sworn-in justices, I say you that, you must be honest, possess integrity and have a sound understanding of the law. A corrupt or incompetent judge is a danger to the public interest and judicial administration.”
The president administered the oaths of allegiance and secrecy, as well as the judicial oath, to the new Justices of the Superior Court of Judicature in Jubilee House’s Banquet Hall.
Kwame Polley, Baah Forson Agyapong, Marian Affoh, Nana Brew, Abena Anponsah Buansi, Ellen Lordina Serwaa Mirehu, Priscilla Dapaah Mireku, Alexander Oworae, Joyce Boahen, Edward Twum, and Gwendolyn Millicent Owusu are among the new justices.
The remaining justices are Rosemary Baah Tosu, Frederick Kwabena Twumasi, Adedaide Abui Keddey, Harry Aheampong- Opoku, Kenneth Edem Kudjordjie, John-Mark Nuku Alifo, Kwesi Adjenim-Boateng, George Aikins Ampiah- Bonney, and Marie-Louise Simmons.
The inauguration of these 21 new high court judges brings the total number of high court judges to 127.
