The Chief Justice, Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, has bemoaned what she described as exploitation by some judicial service staff in managing land-related documents.
The Chief Justice was particularly not happy about how land litigation cases are handled in the courts.
She was worried over how some court staff manipulated land documents in favour of certain individuals in exchange for bribes.
She has therefore called on those engaging in that to stop or face sanctions.
Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo raised the concerns while speaking to Judicial Service staff in Cape Coast as part of the 50th-anniversary celebration of the Judicial Service Staff Association.
She advised them to adopt high standards of public service and work to change the perception of corruption within the judiciary.
The Chief Justice highlighted the issue of court staff creating fake divorce documents and fraudulent letters of administration, thereby draining the accounts of deceased persons and depriving legitimate beneficiaries of their rightful inheritance.
