Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Mr Samuel Afotey Otu, President, Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG), has called on the Judiciary to invest in personnel, innovation and improved conditions of service to enhance justice delivery.<\/b><\/p>\n

He said a well-resourced and supported workforce was indispensable to the integrity and sustainability of Ghana\u2019s justice system.<\/p>\n

Mr Otu made the call at the launch of the 150th anniversary of Ghana\u2019s Supreme Court at the University of Ghana, Legon.<\/p>\n

The sesquicentennial celebration is to honour 150 years of service, institutional continuity and excellence under the theme: \u201cThe Supreme Court of Ghana @150: Honouring the Past, Celebrating the Present and Defining the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event also inaugurated a series of commemorative activities scheduled for July 2026.<\/p>\n

It brought together former Chief Justices, serving and retired Justices of the Supreme Court, chiefs and queen mothers, clergy, students, and representatives from Parliament and the Presidency.<\/p>\n

Mr Otu said staff of the Judicial Service had over the years formed the backbone of the institution and kept the wheels of justice turning through dedication and hard work.<\/p>\n

He underscored the need to strengthen institutional capacity, deepen digital transformation and improve staff welfare across the justice system.<\/p>\n

\u201cA strong and supported workforce is essential to sustaining the integrity of our courts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Otu reaffirmed JUSAG\u2019s support for the judiciary, urging collective effort to build a future that strengthens justice and serves every citizen with fairness and dignity.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we honour the past and celebrate the present, let us work together to define a future that strengthens justice, service every citizen with fairness and dignity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Otu stressed that the celebration was about resilience, integrity and commitment to justice, not longevity.<\/p>\n

For 150 years, he said, the Supreme Court has stood as guardian of the Constitution and symbol of judicial independence.<\/p>\n

Mr Otu paid tribute to past and present Chief Justices and Justices of the Supreme Court for their dedication in strengthening judicial independence, improving access to justice and embracing technology in court administration.<\/p>\n

He congratulated the Court for upholding the rule of law, saying: \u201cMay the next chapter of the court be greater.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court, established on March 31, 1876, has produced 28 Chief Justices, including three females. Sir David Patrick Chambers was the first Chief Justice of the then Gold Coast.<\/p>\n
