New courts and afternoon sittings to speed up justice

Ghana's courts are setting up a new system to tackle delays in case hearings. This system includes new Specialised High Court Divisions.

Afternoon court sittings will also be introduced. These changes are designed to significantly reduce the current workload on judges.

Judicial Secretary Musah Ahmed explained how these reforms will work. The new measures were brought in by Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie.

The goal is to make the justice system more efficient. Many people have complained about how long it takes for cases to be heard and decided.

The Judicial Service expects these new strategies to improve timely justice. The reforms address a long-standing issue in the country's legal system.
