President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has highlighted his administration’s significant contributions to improving judicial infrastructure, describing them as unparalleled.
President Akufo-Addo emphasized the importance of investing in judicial infrastructure to achieve the conference’s theme and promote progress within the judiciary.
He made this statement while inaugurating the 2024 Africa Conference of the International Association of Women Judges.
The conference, themed “The Role of Women Judges in Combating Negative Cultural Practices in Contemporary Times,” provided a forum for discussing crucial issues of gender equality and judicial activism.
“Since taking office in 2017, my administration has made significant strides in providing court infrastructure and residential facilities for judges nationwide, achieving notable progress in this area,” he said.
“In 2020, we launched an initiative to build 100 courthouses with accompanying residential facilities across the country. As of February 2024, we have successfully completed and inaugurated 79 of these projects, which are now operational in various regions.
“The remaining 21 projects are in various stages of completion and are expected to be finished and inaugurated shortly, with the goal of completing them before the end of my term in office,” he stated.
