We look forward to a more citizen-empowering judiciary – Bright Simons

Vice President of Imani Africa Bright Simons has called for a judiciary that empowers the citizens more.

He was commenting on the appointment of Justice Jones Dotse as the Acting Chief Justice following the exit of Kwasi Anin Yeboah who retired on Wednesday, May 24.

In a tweet, Mr Simons said “Ghana’s Chief Justice retires. The activist CSOs I work with recall his rejection of our amicus brief against the EC’s decision to refuse birth certs as proof of citizenship. His reason?

“We had been criticizing the EC on radio. We look forward to a more citizen-empowering judiciary.”
