President Akufo-Addo has pledged to ensure that any political party or presidential candidate found in breach of the law ahead of the December elections faces the appropriate consequences.
Addressing attendees at the commissioning of The Law House in Accra on Monday, June 10, President Akufo-Addo reiterated his administration’s commitment to zero tolerance for legal violations by political entities or presidential hopefuls.
He emphasized his dedication to upholding the rule of law and preserving order in Ghana, particularly as the nation approaches the December polls.
Akufo-Addo stressed that consistent application of the law is vital to safeguarding the peace, security, and stability of the country against any disruption stemming from the ambitions of political parties or presidential candidates.
Using the platform to reassure the Ghanaian populace, the President assured that law enforcement agencies, including the Office of the Attorney General, will exert every effort to uphold law and order throughout the country, especially during this crucial election year.
“I want to use the opportunity on this platform to reassure the Ghanaian people that a law enforcement agency of the state, including the office of the Attorney General, will do all within their power to ensure that law and order prevail in the country at all time, especially at this critical election year.”
“We will not allow the peace, security and stability of the nation that makes Ghana a beacon on the African continent, to be compromised on the alter of the ambitions of any political party or presidential candidate. It will not happen.”
The Law House, standing tall at ten stories and located next to the High Court complex, was officially inaugurated by the President. It is designated as the new headquarters for the Attorney General and Ministry of Justice.
Commencing its construction in 2001, the project was revitalized in January 2023. It now showcases contemporary amenities, comprising conference rooms, office spaces, parking lots, and a dining area.
