Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has spoken out against the proposed Tribunals Bill, 2026. He stated that Ghana should focus on making its current courts stronger.
Afenyo-Markin suggested that creating new district and regional tribunals would lead to a parallel justice system. He warned this could harm the existing judicial framework in Ghana.
He called for the deletion of a key part of the bill. This part deals with the creation of these new tribunals.
The Minority Leader believes that improving the current court system is a better approach. This would ensure justice is delivered effectively through established channels.
The proposal for tribunals has raised concerns about their impact on Ghana's legal structure.
