The Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has admonished magistrates and judges to be impartial in adjudicating potential cases that may arise from the upcoming December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the Annual Conference of the Association of Magistrate and Judges of Ghana at the La Beach on Wednesday, October 2, Mr Dame underscored the need to ensure that no wrongdoing, be it political, criminal or civil, goes unpunished as the country prepares for a major poll in December.<\/p>\n
\u201cVested with the power to adjudicate on disputes between the state and its organs, state and individuals and businesses, individuals and individuals or businesses, the Judiciary is required to be an impartial arbiter. Justice is dispensed in accordance with law and law only.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is the need to ensure that crime or wrongdoing does not go unpunished for any class of society, privileged or underprivileged. In this regard, judges must understand that they work in the overall interests of the State only.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also urged the magistrates and judges to adjudicate cases devoid of emotions and public sentiments.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we once again prepare to usher ourselves into an important phase in the life of this nation with the conduct of presidential and parliamentary elections, it is even more important for the Judiciary to demonstrate that justice is dispensed according to law and not emotions, popular opinion or public sentiments.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Judiciary ought to be impervious to any consideration other than law, including social commentary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
