President Akufo-Addo has lauded Attorney General and Minister for Justice Godfred Yeboah Dame for his instrumental role in the completion of the new Law House.
The Law House, a cutting-edge facility, is poised to become the central nerve center for legal affairs in Ghana, accommodating the offices of the Attorney General and other critical legal departments. Its inauguration symbolizes the culmination of extensive planning and unwavering commitment to enhancing the legal landscape of the nation.
During his address at the commissioning ceremony of the Law House in Accra on Monday, President Akufo-Addo commended the tireless efforts of Godfred Dame, remarking, “I must at the outset pay glowing tribute to the work undertaken by the AG, Godfred Yeboah Dame in bringing us to this day.
“When he assumed office as AG in 2021 after four years as Deputy AG, the completion status of the law house project as we have been told was at 36%. His commitment together with my support was instrumental in reviving and bringing the project to completion.”
“His efforts ensured that this initiative which [would have] easily ended up as another abandoned government project was implemented to become the impressive structure that we are celebrating…He has done a yeoman’s job and I say a hearty ‘ayekoo’ to him.”
The President also reiterated his administration’s unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of law and furnishing the requisite resources to bolster the efficiency of Ghana’s legal system.
The event, marking a significant milestone in the nation’s judicial history, attracted prominent figures from the judiciary, government dignitaries, and members of the bar association.
The commissioning of the Law House is poised to streamline legal procedures and cultivate a more conducive setting for dispensing justice in Ghana. It signifies a notable stride forward in the government’s endeavor to modernize the nation’s legal framework and infrastructure.
