Regional Tribunal Bill will uphold human rights, A-G assures Ghanaians

Dr Dominic Ayine, the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, has assured Ghanaians that the operationalisation of Regional Tribunals under the Regional Tribunal Bill, 2026, will not resurrect the human rights abuses and excesses associated with past tribunals.“Operationalising the Regional Tribunal does not intend to resurrect the ghost of the past abuses and excesses, and that will not exist in the new dispensation,” Dr Ayine emphasised.

Despite the concerns, proponents of the Bill maintain that the new tribunals will operate under strict constitutional oversight, ensuring fairness and efficiency in Ghana’s justice system.
