The visit forms part of an ongoing series of media engagements in the build-up to the July anniversary celebrations.
His Lordship Justice Richard Adjei-Frimpong
The meeting atmosphere was warm and collegial from the outset; a meeting that touched on law, language, legacy, and the power of storytelling in the service of justice.
Justice Adjei-Frimpong spoke with conviction about the Supreme Court’s place at the very heart of Ghana’s democratic story, citing watershed rulings that had quietly but profoundly shaped the rights and freedoms Ghanaians enjoy today from the rights of persons held in detention to the creative freedoms of content producers.
He walked the Despite Media team through the programme lineup stretching across the month of July, that takes the anniversary beyond boardrooms and courtrooms into communities, schools, and town squares. From lectures in Cape Coast, Kumasi and Accra, to moot court competitions and a grand durbar, the message was clear: this milestone belongs to every Ghanaian.

The General Manager of the Group, Ken Asante Osei Esq. promised to do his bit to make the celebrations a success.
He made a specific request for the anniversary planners to carve out space for audiences who consume contents in their local dialect. He pointed to UTV’s flagship legal programme “Mmra No Se Sen” as the ideal vehicle for this segment that could carry the weight of legal education into homes and communities in a voice people truly recognise as their own.
