The Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Torkornoo, has inaugurated a dual courtroom complex in Atebubu-Amantin to enhance justice delivery.

The newly opened twin-court building accommodates both circuit and high courts, featuring ancillary facilities such as judges' chambers, registrars' offices, recorders' offices, cashiers' offices, bailiffs' offices, and docket and washroom facilities.

Chief Justice Torkornoo commended the Atebubu-Amantin municipal assembly, led by Chief Executive Hon. Edward Owusu, for funding the project from internally generated resources, dubbing him "my man of the year."

In her address at the inauguration ceremony, the Chief Justice highlighted the significance of the facility, emphasizing that it would improve access to justice, especially considering that the nearest circuit court is 142.5 kilometers away in Techiman.

The Chief Justice stressed the importance of adherence to the law, asserting that it ensures order, fairness, justice, and ultimately leads to prosperity. She cautioned court staff against extorting money from court users, emphasizing that such behavior would not be tolerated.

Bono East Regional Minister Hon. Kwasi Adu-Gyan applauded the Atebubu-Amantin municipal assembly for its commitment to justice delivery and security, aligning the court's establishment with sustainable development goal 16, which emphasizes peace, justice, and strong institutions.

Member of Parliament for the Atebubu-Amantin constituency Hon. Sanja Nanja urged the Chief Justice to revamp the Legal Aid outfit in the municipality to facilitate easy access to justice for the less privileged.

Atebubu-Amantin Municipal Chief Executive Hon. Edward Owusu expressed joy on this significant day, highlighting the previous inconvenience faced by residents who had to travel to Wenchi or Sunyani for high court services. He urged citizens to resort to the law courts for dispute resolution and encouraged court staff to honor their appointments.

Delegations from the Atebubu and Amantin traditional councils, led by Nana Kwabena Kyere III and Barima Osei Poku, graced the occasion. The event was chaired by The Bassamanhene Nana Owusu Sakyi III, who also serves as the Vice President of the Bono East Regional House of Chiefs.
