The facilitator general of the 13th Annual Chief Justice’s Forum, Dr Kwaku Agyeman-Budu, has called for the immediate closure of the Suhum district court.
The building which used to be a cocoa shed has a lot of structural defects and not fit to house a court, Agyeman-Budu said in a presentation at the 13th edition of the Annual Chief Justice’s Forum in Koforidua in the Eastern Region.
The Suhum district court is among five others that were selected for assessment during the forum.
Chief Justice’s Forum
The annual forum creates the avenue for stakeholders in the administration of justice to deliberate on key issues in the justice sector and how they can work to enhance the efficiency of justice delivery in Ghana.
It also serves as a feedback mechanism for the service, where it gets to know the concerns of the public, in order to strategise to improve its service delivery. It further provides an opportunity for the service to disseminate information to court users and the general public on its operations to engender greater transparency and accountability.
A key feature of the Chief Justice’s Forum over the years has been breakout sessions where stakeholders are put into groups, with each given a sub-theme to deliberate on and give recommendations.
