Private legal practitioner, Professor Stephen Kwaku Asare has reiterated his call for speedy trials in Ghana's courts. He argues that slow justice is a silent killer, suffocates accountability, erodes justice, and weakens democracy.
It is time to transition to a fast justice system, he said.
While some Ghanaians may characterize this as a radical call, he indicated that his call is nothing new.
Referring to what former President John Agyekuk Kufuor did when in office, Prof Asare stated that when Mr Kufuor introduced the Fast Track Court, it was welcomed as a step toward timely justice delivery.
