The new Justices of the second highest court of the land were appointed, due to the retirement of some Judges and also to man
                        expanded panels of the Court of Appeal that will sit in five locations across the country.

                       President Akufo-Addo administered the Oath of Office, Oath of Secrecy and Judicial Oath to the 16 Justices, made up of 12 men and
                       four women at a colourful ceremony, attended by the Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkonoo, the Attorney–General
                       and Minister for Justice, Mr. Godfred Yeboah Dame and several other dignitaries.

                         
                            President Nana Akufo-Addo delivering his address

                     The President charged the newly appointed Justices to discharge their functions with utmost integrity according to their judicial
                     oaths and in fidelity to the law.

                        He urged them to work hard to dispense justice to the public, in an effective and expeditious manner without undue delay, and in
                        accordance with the law.

                      “As justices of the Court of Appeal, you will be at the forefront of those efforts and your contributions will be pivotal in shaping the
                      future of our Judiciary and of our society. One of the key challenges we face is the need to address the backlog of cases that continue
                      to burden our courts. Justice delayed as you know, is justice denied,” he said.

                        President Akufo-Addo further advised the newly sworn–in Justices to continuously educate themselves and seek professional i
                        mprovement to ensure that they were abreast of new developments in the law.

                       ‘Education and continuous self-development are equally important; just like the independence of the Judiciary. The legal landscape
                       is constantly evolving and it is essential that judges remain abreast with new developments and best practices’, President Nana Addo stated.

                       Justice Charles Gyamfi Danquah, who spoke on behalf of the newly sworn-in Justices, expressed their gratitude to President Akufo-Addo,
                       the Chief Justice and the Judicial Council for the honour, and gave the assurance, that they would work hard to justify the confidence reposed in them.

                            Justice Charles Gyamfi Danquah speaking on behalf of his colleagues

                    He pledged that he and his colleagues would uphold the rule of law and discharge their sacred duties without fear, favour, bias or prejudice,
                    and administer justice for all. 

                   “We shall do our best not to disappoint Ghanaians and do our work faithfully and diligently ‘, Justice Danquah said.
