Financial barriers continue to limit access to justice – Togbe Afede XIV

The President of the Asogli Traditional Area and former President of the National House of Chiefs, Togbe Afede XIV, has called for renewed efforts to make justice more accessible, acknowledging that significant financial barriers continue to prevent many people from obtaining legal services.

Togbe Afede XIV urged members of the legal fraternity to reflect on their collective responsibility to ensure that justice is accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Speaking at the climax of the Supreme Court's 150th anniversary celebration in Accra, Togbe Afede XIV said access to justice is still not freely available to everyone, arguing that the high cost of legal representation remains a major obstacle for many justice seekers.
