The Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, has put forward a new plan for the justice system. He has laid the Tribunal Bill 2026 before Parliament.
This bill suggests bringing back public tribunals. These tribunals were previously used to help manage certain types of legal cases.
The government believes that reintroducing tribunals could make the justice system work better and faster. It is a key part of ongoing efforts to improve how justice is delivered in the country.
The proposal shows a commitment to finding new ways to handle the workload of the courts. Tribunals can often deal with specific cases more efficiently than regular courts.
The exact details of how these tribunals will operate are outlined in the new bill. The aim is to ensure fairness and accessibility in the legal process.
This initiative is intended to be a significant step in modernizing Ghana's legal framework. It aims to address challenges within the current judicial system.
