The Ghana Bar Association (GBA), has expressed worry over the poor working and service conditions of judges in the country.<\/p>\n
According to the Association, judges within the country deserve more than they currently receive as conditions of service.<\/p>\n
The association in recent times has been complaining about the lack of accommodation and proper residential facilities.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”rvPzQoF3oZYSYeUeWvgJovjYDwTP0jOK”]Speaking at the 35th Anniversary of the murder of three high court judges in Ghana, President of the BAR, Benson Nutsukpui, said more has to be done to ensure a resilient democracy underpinned by the tenets of the Rule of law.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we celebrate our departed judges, as members of the legal community, it is necessary that we recommit ourselves to the entrenchment of the rule of law in our country. It cannot be sustained when the conditions of service and the working conditions of judges are nothing to write home about. Judicial independence is best secured by good conditions of service of our judges which in turn assures resilient democracies underpinned by the tenants of the rule of law,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
