The Commissioner for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), Joseph Whittal has expressed concern over the loss of public confidence in the Judiciary under the Akufo-Addo-led government.
In an interview with Joy News on Monday, November 11, 2024, he pointed out the implications, emphasising that judicial independence is a cornerstone of democracy. "If you look at it carefully, this has happened within the period of one government.
Nana Akufo-Addo's government.
The implications of this are that if the independence of the court within one administration from 2017 to 2024 can come down so steeply, then we have a problem," he noted.
