The DCE in his speech expressed his joy for the newly built court house. He stated that, this court house is just more than a physical structure because it represented the ideals that every modern society should clearly hold on, that is, justice, quality and fair hearing to all persons.\u00a0 He added that, this new court house could not be overestimated because of the challenges the old one posed to the administration of justice in the District. He concluded by passionately appealing to the Chief Justice for the old court house to be converted into a District Fire Service Station. He also appealed to the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF) Secretariat to provide a back-up electricity plant to the District Assembly Complex.<\/p>\n

Hon. Simon Osei Mensah, the Ashanti Regional Minister on his part extended his appreciation to the Chief Justice for his good works.\u00a0 He stated that, in the current democratic dispensation, the foundation of every democracy is the rule of law and one could not have this in a country where the judiciary is accommodated in dilapidated structure which will not encourage and promote effective and efficient judicial system. He concluded by commending the president of the Republic of Ghana who has supported the Chief Justice and the administration of the District Assembly Common Fund for making resources available.<\/p>\n

His Lordship Justice Anin-Yeboah expressed his delight for the inauguration of this new court house for the District. He stated that since 1992, the judiciary had tried to improve access to justice across the country. He explained that, the inauguration was part of the effort to deal with the poor state of the physical infrastructure, which had over the years militated against effective operations of the court not leading anyone to rush to the Court to seek redress at the slightest opportunity to overburden the judges and magistrate with avoidable caseload. He concluded by appealing to Nananom to use their good offices to help solve some cases.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nana Kwabena Adjei in his closing remarks commended the Chief Justice and the District Assembly for providing a decent and safe environment for justice delivery in the District. Nana concluded by urging the public and staff of the judicial service at the court to practice good maintenance culture to help preserve the court house for posterity use.<\/p>\n
