A Supreme Court Justice nominee, Hafisata Amaleboba has attributed the delay in court cases to the low number of judges.
She also attributed the issue to the processes and procedures in the adjudication of cases.
Answering questions during her vetting by the Appointments Committee of Parliament in Accra on Wednesday, June 18, she said, “Lack of manpower or enough judges is to blame for delays in cases. The processes and procedures are a factor too. Also, the timelines may have to be looked at.”
She added that “If we have to indicate timelines for cases, then we have to also look at the number of cases handled by each judge.”
Touching on legal aid, Amaleboba said that the Ghana Bar Association should encourage every lawyer to do some pro-bono work.
