Court delays can amount to denial of justice – Mahama

The President therefore urged the judiciary to pursue reforms that improve efficiency, embrace appropriate technology and make justice more accessible to all Ghanaians, regardless of their income, status or geographical location.

President Mahama also stressed the need for the judiciary to maintain public confidence through sound decisions, judicial discipline, accessibility of the courts and the timely delivery of justice.“Prolonged cases, avoidable adjournments, and delays in delivering judgments weaken confidence in the judicial system and can amount to a denial of justice,” President Mahama said.
