President John Dramani Mahama has sworn in 21 High Court Judges as Justices of the Court of Appeal.
The 21 judges include the President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs, Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II.
Others are Justice Senyo Amedahe, a Koforidua High Court Judge, Justice Olivia Boeng Owusu, Justice Douglas Seidu, Justice Ali Baba Bature, Justice Mariama Samo, Justice Abena Adzin Doku, Justice Mary Maame Akua Yanzu, Justice Justin Dorgu, Justice George Boadi, Justice Ayitey Armah-Tetteh and Justice Jennifer Anne Myers Ahmed.

Speaking at a swearing-in ceremony held on Thursday, October 2, 2025, the President admonished them to guard against cynicism.
“In recent times, our courts have not escaped criticisms. Citizens have openly and sometimes harshly questioned judicial decisions,” the President noted. “But I want to say clearly— criticism of judgments is not the end of hope; it is the evidence of hope. It shows that Ghanaians still believe in the courts, that justice still matters, and that verdicts have meaning in their lives.”
“What we must guard against is cynicism—the corrosive belief that the courts no longer serve the people but only the powerful in society,” he said.
