Supreme Court and chieftaincy share common mission of justice and peace – Chief Justice

Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie has said the Supreme Court and the institution of chieftaincy, despite deriving their authority from different sources, exist for the same enduring purpose of preserving justice, securing peace and protecting the dignity of every individual.

Speaking in Kumasi at a lecture held under the distinguished patronage of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, as part of activities marking the 150th anniversary of the Supreme Court of Ghana, the Chief Justice said the two institutions remain united by a shared commitment to justice.

Reflecting on the Supreme Court's 150-year history, the Chief Justice said its founders planted a seed that has grown into a lasting institution capable of serving successive generations.
