Tribunal Bill is unconstitutional, expensive and historically ineffective — Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah

Vice Chair of Parliament's Subsidiary Legislation Committee and a member of the Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee, Nana Agyei Baffour AwuahThe Vice Chair of Parliament's Subsidiary Legislation Committee and a member of the Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, has criticised the Tribunal Bill, 2026, describing it as unconstitutional, costly and unlikely to improve Ghana's justice delivery system.

He maintained that the proposed tribunals present significant constitutional concerns and do not offer a practical solution to the challenges within the justice system.

Parliament passed the Tribunal Bill on Thursday night despite strong opposition from civil society organisations, organised labour and the Minority, who had raised concerns over some of its provisions and called for wider stakeholder consultations.
