Tribunals bill could return Ghana to “tsoo Boi” justice – Afenyo-Markin

The Tribunals Bill, 2026 was laid before Parliament by Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Dr Dominic Ayine, presented on his behalf by the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, on June 26, 2026, with the object of establishing a legal framework for the establishment, jurisdiction, composition and operation of tribunals in accordance with the Constitution, and creating a Tribunal Oversight Committee, aimed at strengthening access to justice and promoting due process.

Speaking exclusively on Joy FM's Super Morning Show, the Effutu MP said the country's justice system had moved beyond what he described as "tsoo boi, let the blood flow" justice and cautioned against establishing a tribunal system that could sidestep due process.

Afenyo-Markin referenced a previous public exchange involving former National Democratic Congress (NDC) official Alex Segbefia, who, according to him, rejected calls by a party foot soldier for individuals to be jailed without trial and instead insisted on adherence to due process.
