The administration of Justice in the Aburi Municipality has been taken a notch higher with the commissioning of the District Court in the town.
Commissioning the project, Honourable . O.B. Amoah, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development (MLGDRD) said the commissioning of the Court and many others across Ghana marks a very fruitful cooperation between the Judicial service, and the government.
He said starting in 2019, the Ministry and the District Assemblies Common Fund, with the active involvement of the Chief Justice, have initiated and facilitated the construction of 130 Court Houses, including 10 two-storey double court buildings and 120 non-residential accommodation for judges and magistrates across the country.
Mr. Amoah who is also the Member of Parliament For Akuapim South Constituency explained that as President Akufo-Addo has stated during various commissioning of some of the courts, the initiative is to help address the challenge of inadequate court and accommodation infrastructure, ensure ready access to courts in the districts for promotion of justice and to deepen decentralisaion in accordance with the 1992 Constitution as well as the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936).
Mr Amoah stated that the benefits of courts are enormous. Our democracy cannot survive without the administration of justice guaranteed under the Constitution of Ghana.
The Aburi South Legislature further noted that Despite any challenges, courts exist to guarantee liberty, enhance social order, resolve legal disputes, maintain the rule of law, provide for equal protection, protect individuals against the arbitrary use of governmental power, and deter criminal behaviour, among others.
