JUSAG at 50: Chief Justice laments exploitation, corruption plaguing the system

Cape Coast, Sept. 22, GNA – The Chief Justice, Mrs Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo, has said integrity, competence and independence within the nation’s judicial service are essential for accelerated national development.

She decried the pervasive exploitation and corruption within the judicial system, often perpetrated by individuals who prioritise personal enrichment over the pursuit of justice.

She has consequently, urged staff of the Judicial Service to apply their conscience and moral principles religiously always in their work and in all circumstances.

That she noted, must be underpinned by a national functional moral principle where integrity and morals were paramount and held in high esteem.

The Chief Justice was speaking at the climax of the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana’s (JUSAG) 50th anniversary at the University of Cape Coast on Saturday.
