Let's have corrupt-free officials by reporting them - Chief Justice Advised

 The newly appointed Chief Justice Madam Gertrude had interactions with the good people of Akwatia in which she declared her concerns about the court officials who collect money to judge in favor of the various individuals who get issues in court. Mad. Gertrude however advised the entire populace to be much more careful about the need not to engage themselves with any sort of bribes with the court officials in turns of favorable decisions. In her argument, she mentioned that the court officials often do not ask for this money but it's only a means for some unprofessional court staff to enrich themselves which is highly unrecommended. Chief Justice Madam Gertrude insisted that the public needs to report any court service staff who by any means demands money from the judicial service. We must all support eliminating this act in the court system, she stated. 


During the event at Akwatia, Mad. Gertrude made an appeal to the court system in the district to offer their necessary support in fighting this together. This is a new initiative by Mad. Gertrude however made to interact directly with the various communities to enlighten them on the responsibilities of the judiciary and how the law works. This initiative is to take away all the negative perceptions of the judiciary and understand that the judiciary is the third arm of government. Justice Torkornoo declared that the only role needed to be played by the citizens is to be patriotic enough to report all forms of bribes in the court as the court officials may attempt to request money. With this in place, the Judicial Service would be able to combat these awful and unprofessional activities of some court officials who also find little opportunity to swim in a pool of corruption.


Justice Gertrude Torkornoo stated and I quote 'Any court registrar, interpreter, clerk, recorder or anyone else among the staff who requests for money to be disbursed to judges is a thief. The real fact of the matter is that it is rare to see judges taking money in most cases and those who even collect the money in the names of these judges use it themselves without the awareness of the judges. Such activities need urgent attention and for that reason, citizens need to report such persons to the police service or even the Judicial Service. Thereafter, matters would be thoroughly investigated to get to the bottom of it and sanction appropriately those who become committed to it. This corruption activity is a bad practice which ultimately ruins all of the reputation of the Judiciary and the good news is that the Judiciary is ever prepared to deal with these activities,' she declared. 


Public concerns about the activities of the judiciary also triggered some intervention from the government. Mad. Gertrude also stated that it becomes unethical and deviation from the standards for the court officials to demand money before undertaking their sole responsibilities to improve the quality service of the judiciary to the general public. When those people are caught or brought before the judiciary service, there is no hesitation in getting them sacked whilst they would also be made to face the law. Madam Torkornoo also stated that there is countless opportunity for anyone to log a complaint against any staff of the service if deemed necessary. 


 The claim that MD was the target of the plot is disputed by Paul Adom Otchere, the managing director of the Ghana Airport Company.

Paul Adom-Otchere, the chairman of the board of Ghana Airport Company Limited, has denied accusations that he was involved in a fictitious plan to remove Pamela Djamson-Tettey as the company's managing director. Mr. Adom-Otchere has vehemently denied having any such intentions, despite claims made by the Airport Workers Union that he played a part in the prospective removal.

Due to Ms. Djamson-Tettey's refusal to support him on particular operational decisions within the company, the Union accused Mr. Adom-Otchere of orchestrating her removal, which sparked the controversy. The Public Service Workers Union's Divisional Chairman at the Ghana Airport Company Limited, Mr. Abdul-Issaka Bamba, expressed the Union by saying, "Our information is that the Board Chair [Paul Adom-Otchere] is championing the course of removal of the MD, and this is causing a lot of agitations in the industry." According to Bamba, there has been a lot of unrest among the employees due to the ongoing situation, and they have been constantly asking for information and voicing their concerns.

In light of this, Mr. Bamba emphasized the significance of fostering leadership harmony to promote business growth and guarantee operating stability. In reply, Mr. Adom-Otchere said he didn't know anything about the specifics of the alleged plot. He claimed that the Union's connection did not provide specific examples of the purported scheme in an interview with Joy News. Mr. Adom-Otchere stated that he intended to meet with the Union to learn more about the situation because it is now unclear to him.


  The political image of Ghana is being tarnished by deception, corruption, crime, and electoral irregularities.

 In a stable democracy like Ghana, all citizens' voices matter because it is the foundation of progress and accountability. However, dishonesty, corruption, crime, and electoral irregularities are tarnishing Ghana's political image. It's time for all Ghanaians to put fear and favor on the back burner, and speak out against these injustices.  By making our voices heard, we can build up a more robust democracy that truly takes into account people's will and aspirations. In addition to the fact that I disagree with people who talk out of spite and prejudice, I believe that all citizens should be able to speak the truth. Candidates who have been appointed to public office should be held accountable and told the truth, regardless of party affiliation. Some people have been extremely critical of the former governments, but they're completely silent these days. Isn't that to say things are all right?.  


In a good democracy, picking and choosing is not the way to go. For as long as this government is gone, the brave men and women who have loudly opposed it should continue to do so. Ghanaians are wondering whether they'll continue to tell the truth or succumb to hibernation. It is necessary to create a positive consistency to build trust. Ghanaians are wondering whether they'll continue to tell the truth or succumb to hibernation. The key principle of Ghana's democratic system is citizen participation, which cannot be weakened. With their voices and actions, all citizens can influence policy on a global scale. By speaking up without fear or favor, we can hold our leaders responsible for their actions and demand openness to the process of decision-making. Our common voice, ensuring that the government keeps to its democratic mandate, will be a deterrent for political misconduct.


 It can be intimidating to speak up about political corruption, as it may require facing powerful individuals and risking personal consequences. For speaking out against powerful authorities, certain journalists are subject to consequences. Nevertheless, it is important to remember that the strength of our democracy can be derived from us all being willing to fight for justice and fairness. We're inspiring others to overcome fear and share their concerns, generating a ripple effect for change. A key barrier to Ghana's democratization is corruption in politics. It depletes public resources to promote inequality and encourages it. By reporting cases, exchanging evidence, and demanding investigations, we need to band together as people so that corruption can be exposed.


 By pressing for the removal of corruption, and by implementing more serious measures to hold offenders accountable in a coordinated way, we can exert pressure on authorities. To keep our democracy alive, the electoral process must be fair. Voter intimidation, harassment, and manipulation undermine the basic foundation of fair elections. By raising our voices against electoral misconduct both in campaign and on election day we're sending a strong signal to the voters that we want transparent, impartial elections. To ensure fair representation, that includes the reporting of irregularities, support for electoral reforms, and active participation in voter education campaigns. The crucial part of the fight against political corruption can also be played by CSOs, media, and NGOs. They must act as a watchdog, investigate offenses, and hold politicians to account. By providing them with the resources they need and actively taking part in their projects, we will have to support these organizations as citizens.

 We are contributing to a more transparent democracy with increased efforts from them. In addition, we should appreciate and help those who are making a stand against corruption in Ghana instead of demonizing them. Even the Special Prosecutor, Mr Kissi Agyebeng is getting frustrated and about to drop out of this case. To this end, all individuals must participate and speak out against any wrongdoers. If we stand up for what is right, but do it in defiance of others' actions, then so be it. We're not supposed to stay silent because the matter doesn't concern us.
