The Centre for Legitimacy and Rule of Law, known as CLRL, says Ghana's courts need more money to run properly. They stated that simply bringing back tribunals will not speed up justice for people.
CLRL supports the idea of using regional and district tribunals. These tribunals are allowed by Ghana's 1992 Constitution. However, they believe it is not enough to solve the delays.
The main problem is that the courts do not have enough money to operate effectively. This lack of funding stops cases from being heard quickly.
CLRL made it clear that more money is needed for judges, staff, and court infrastructure. These things are essential for a working justice system.
They disagree with the idea that tribunals alone are the answer. The group says without proper funding, even more tribunals would face the same slow progress.
This shows that financial support is the most important factor for the judiciary. It has been a long-standing issue for Ghana's legal system.
The CLRL wants the government to focus on increasing the budget for the courts. This will help them clear the backlog of cases.
A well-funded judiciary is crucial for upholding the rule of law. It ensures that justice is delivered fairly and on time for all citizens.
