President John Dramani Mahama has urged newly sworn-in Justices of the Supreme Court to view their elevation as a solemn public trust and a call to serve, rather than a symbol of personal power.

Addressing the swearing-in ceremony of seven new Justices at the Jubilee House on Thursday, July 3, President Mahama reminded the judges that their new role carries the hopes of a nation striving for fairness, inclusion, and justice for all. "To our newly sworn-in justices, I say this: today, you inherit the robe of honour and the weight of a nation's expectations.

This robe is not simply a mark of office.

It is a public trust.
