Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has told judges to do their work without fear or favour, affection or ill-will.<\/b><\/p>\n

The President said when a person falls foul of the law, society demands that the person be dealt with accordingly, and law-enforcement agencies, including the Supreme Court, must ensure that this is done.<\/p>\n

Mr Akufo-Addo said that the growth of Ghana demands a judiciary that commands the respect of the people through the quality of the delivery of justice as well as the comportment of its judges.<\/p>\n

He said these while swearing in the three new Supreme Court justices at the Jubilee House in Accra on Wednesday, January 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo our new Supreme Court judges, 1. Justice Henry Anthony Kowfie, Justice Yaw Asare Darko, and Justice Richard Agyei Frimpong, it is extremely important for you to bear in mind that the growth of our nation demands that we have a judiciary that commands the respect of the people by the quality of the delivery of justice as well as the comportment of its judges.<\/p>\n

\u201cApplications of the laws of the land must occur in the words of the judicial oath that you have just taken, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will \u2013 and, therefore, without recourse to the political, religious or ethnic affiliations of any citizen of the land or any person before you,\u201d President Akufo-Addo further said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a person falls foul of the law, society demands that the person be dealt with accordingly, and law-enforcement agencies, including the Supreme Court, must ensure that this is done.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is the true meaning of the concept of equality before the law and I am confident that you will uphold it and distinguish yourselves in the work of the court,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n
