Fix the courts, don’t create tribunals — Afenyo-Markin tells government

Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has warned that the government's proposal to establish public tribunals could undermine judicial independence and disrupt Ghana's constitutional justice delivery system.

He noted that when Ghana transitioned from military rule to constitutional democracy, the country deliberately moved away from the regional tribunal system in favour of the conventional court structure.

According to him, the proposed tribunal system could also create uncertainty within Ghana's justice delivery framework and weaken confidence in the judiciary.
