A Supreme Court Justice nominee, Kwaku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo, has said that in order to enhance justice delivery, there is a need to champion capacity building for judges.
He argues that this will go a long way to help in effective justice delivery.
“Building the capacity of judges should be championed to enhance justice delivery; some of the civic rules must be looked at,” he said during his vetting by the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Friday, June 20.
Justice Acakaah-Boafo also used his vetting to state that free speech must come with responsibility.
He cautioned the public that the libel law still exists hence, people should be careful about what they post, especially on social media.
“I believe in free speech, but free speech must come with responsibility…Libel laws are still applicable; let us be careful with what we put on social media,” he said.
He also said that “We need an independent Police Commission to assess complaints about Police officers. Law enforcement shouldn’t sit on complaints against officers.”
