Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has indicated that the judicial service will revert to the opening and closure of court sittings, which ensured that jurors remained with the courts for only a short season.<\/b><\/p>\n

She said the current situation, where jurors stay with the courts for a long time, is not the best for effective justice delivery.<\/p>\n

The Chief Justice made these remarks at the launch of her vision for the judiciary in Accra, today, Monday, April 8, dubbed: \u201cLEADing Justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Justice Torkornoo \u201csteps are being taken to revert to the opening and closure of assizes, which ensured that jurors remained with the judiciary for only a short season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current situation where one juror can be attached to the courts for years, leaving their full-time work for long periods, and earning from both institutions through the same public purse, needs to be seriously deconstructed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Full text: Statement by Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo at the launch of her vision \u2013 LEADing Justice<\/p>\n

She noted that the judiciary \u201ccontemplates\u201d securing the services of a private sector jury to ensure the success of the initiative.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to do so effectively, this vision contemplates the engagement of the private sector in jury services, as is the situation in virtually every country.\u201d<\/p>\n

In this regard, Justice Torkornoo asked for the \u201ccooperation of the private sector\u201d in implementing the strategies, adding, \u201cbecause we need to increase the ethical contents of integrity and efficiency in criminal justice delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n

She further maintained that the initiative is geared towards eradicating unethical attitudes in the administration of justice in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cJudicial administration must close the gaps through which court users are subjected to exploitation and rent-seeking behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis demands the removal of as much of the human inter-facing that court work is exposed to. Court officials are expected to work with independence, with impartiality, competence, and integrity,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

LEAD in the Strategic Framework, christened \u2018LEADing Justice\u2019, is an acronym for Law, Ethics, Assets, Due Process and Digitalisation.<\/p>\n

Chief Justice Torkornoo also called for support and partnership with stakeholders to achieve the vision of \u201cproducing culture-changing re-orientation programmes.\u201d.<\/p>\n
