Celebrating Legal Aid Week: Commission takes services to markets
Accessibility In a speech read on behalf of the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, by the Solicitor-General, Mrs Helen Zeru, he said legal aid was essential in ensuring that poverty did not prevent people from exercising their constitutional rights.
Justice Asiedu appealed to the Ministry of Finance to expedite action on financial clearance for the recruitment of additional staff, while urging the Attorney-General to facilitate the laying of the commission’s draft regulations before Parliament to provide a framework for training, certifying and deployment of legal aid delivery officers.
