Accra, July 30, GNA – The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has called for greater recognition of judicial staff for their contribution to the administration of justice.
The Association said judicial staff played a vital role in supporting the work of the Supreme Court and the broader justice delivery system.
Mr Samuel Afotey Otu, President of JUSAG, made the call in a goodwill message at the grand durbar marking the 150th anniversary of the Supreme Court in Accra.
“It is important to recognise that the Supreme Court is not made up of the Justices alone. Behind every sitting, every judgment, every record, and every administrative process is a dedicated team of hardworking and often unseen Judicial Staff whose commitment ensures the smooth and efficient running of the Court,” he said.
Mr Otu said the contribution of judicial staff was indispensable to the apex court’s discharge of its constitutional mandate.
“As we celebrate the distinguished Justices, both past and present, we also proudly acknowledge the ever-spirited past and present staff of the Supreme Court who have, through the decades, contributed immensely to the administration of justice,” he noted.
Mr Otu said JUSAG was proud to be part of the Supreme Court’s enduring legacy and
remained committed to professionalism and excellence in service.
He called for sustained investment in the Judiciary to improve its capacity to deliver justice efficiently.
“We must invest in our human capital, improve the welfare of both the Judges and staff, and embrace innovation that enhances transparency and public confidence. The future of justice depends not only on strong institutions but also on a motivated workforce committed to serving with excellence,” he stated.
Mr Otu urged stakeholders to work together in unity, guided by integrity and a shared commitment to justice.
“On behalf of the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana, I extend our heartfelt congratulations to the Supreme Court of Ghana on this historic milestone,” he added.
