President John Dramani Mahama has called on newly sworn-in Justices of the Court of Appeal to embody courage, integrity, and humility as they take up their critical roles in safeguarding the nation’s democracy.
Delivering his address at the Jubilee House to swear in the newly 20 appeal court judges the President emphasized that justice is not a luxury but the very foundation of Ghana’s vision for shared prosperity.
He noted that the government’s broader infrastructure and development agenda cannot thrive unless anchored in a strong, fair, and independent judiciary.
“My Lords and Ladies, Justices, as you assume your new roles, I ask you to carry these three virtues,” the President declared. “Courage to resist pressure, whether political or financial, and to uphold the law even when it is unpopular. Integrity to ensure that justice cannot be bought, delayed, or bent by influence. And humility to remember that your power is not for self, but for service to the people.”
