The Chief Justice in his address commended the Ga North Municipal Assembly for living up to its responsibility, per the Local Governance Act 1993 (Act 462) Section 10, (3) (g), which enjoins the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to ensure ready access to courts in the district for the promotion of justice.

He said the Court Complex building symbolized the rule of law and urged the judges who would be discharging duties from it and others elsewhere, to dispense justice without fear or favor, affection or ill-will.

“To court officials, be mindful of the significance of this Court Complex to justice delivery and ensure that you exhibit a high level of professionalism,” he said.

Justice Anin-Yeboah urged the public to report any judicial officer who makes any unlawful demands in the discharge of his or her duty to the Complaint Units for proper disciplinary action to be taken against that person or group of people.

He called on both the staff and court users to do their best to maintain the court building and its facilities to justify the investment made by the Assembly.

Mr. Simons Sekyim, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Ga North thanked the government, and lauded the Chief Justice for gracing the occasion.

He also seized the opportunity to applaud other Supreme Court Judges and attorneys for their support.

He acknowledged all who made various contributions towards the project and ensured that all administrative authorities have access to the law court which serves as the ultimate arbiter in disputes involving the interpretation of the law, crime, and, above all, defending and safeguarding the rights of all.

Mr. Sekyim expressed his profound gratitude to the late former MCE for setting the foundation for the Municipal Court which will bring justice to all constituents and residents, devoid of their social stratification.
