Supreme Court, Chieftaincy exist for same enduring purpose – Chief Justice

Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie has said the Supreme Court and the institution of chieftaincy, though different in form and source of authority, exist for the same enduring purpose: to preserve justice, secure peace, and protect the dignity of every person.

The Chief Justice said the forms had changed, but the calling had not, adding that it was at this meeting point that the Supreme Court and the institution of chieftaincy found each other.

The Chief Justice made the remarks 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.
