Looking to the future, President Akufo-Addo called for continuous adaptation and evolution of the legal system to meet the changing needs of society while maintaining a steadfast commitment to justice, fairness, and equality for all.
“The rule of law is not a static concept. It is a living principle that requires constant nurturing and vigilance,” he reminded the audience.
The President’s address resonated with a strong message of maintaining peace, security, and stability in Ghana, a nation renowned as a beacon of democracy on the African continent.
The inauguration of the edifice not only celebrated the new infrastructure but also reinforced Ghana’s dedication to the principles of justice and the rule of law, ensuring that peace and democratic values remain at the core of the nation’s development.
