Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie has called for renewed commitment to improving Ghana’s justice system as the Supreme Court of Ghana marks its 150th anniversary.

He made the call at the launch of the anniversary celebration held at the Cedi Conference Centre at the University of Ghana.

According to him, the milestone should not only serve as a reflection on the past but also as an opportunity to shape the future of the judiciary.

He stressed that the significance of the anniversary goes beyond the number of years the court has existed, urging stakeholders to focus on its impact.

“This anniversary therefore must be remembered as a commitment to faster justice, accessible justice, to transparent justice and a judiciary worthy of the enduring trust of Ghana's people,” he said.

The sesquicentennial anniversary is being observed under the theme “Honouring the past, celebrating the present and defining the future.”

At the same event, Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem-Sai defended the continued use of jury trials in Ghana’s justice system, describing them as important for protecting civil liberties and supporting democratic participation.

He made the remarks amid ongoing discussions about whether the jury system should be abolished.
