The Chief Justice of the Republic of Ghana, Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo has expressed serious concerns about the handling of land litigation cases by some staff members of the Judicial Service, accusing them of exploiting the system for their parochial interests and personal gain.
The distinguished Justice revealed that some court officials have been manipulating land documents in favour of specific individuals in exchange for bribes, undermining the integrity of the judiciary.
She made these remarks during a meeting with Judicial Service staff in Cape Coast, as part of the 50th-anniversary celebrations of the Judicial Service Staff Association.
She further called for immediate action to stop these unethical practices, urging the staff to uphold higher standards of public service and work diligently to change the public's negative perception of corruption within the judiciary.
The Chief Justice further expressed concern over the increasing involvement of some court employees in other criminal activities such as staff issuing fake divorce documents and fraudulent letters of administration, which are then used to deplete the accounts of deceased persons, robbing rightful heirs of their inheritance.
And all of which delay administering of justice in the country. She called on them to refrain from those criminal activities.
