CJ responds to AG: Delays in galamsey cases stem from prosecutors actions, not judges

Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo

Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has addressed the recent criticisms by Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame regarding the delays in illegal mining, commonly referred to as galamsey, cases in Ghana.

In her remarks, Chief Justice Torkornoo clarified that these delays are primarily attributed to the actions of prosecutors rather than the judiciary itself.

This statement comes in response to mounting pressure for the judicial system to expedite rulings on these critical environmental cases.

The Attorney General previously called for judges to expedite decisions on galamsey cases, urging them to deliver verdicts within a month.
