Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo has expressed deep concerns over the handling of land litigation cases in the courts, pointing to exploitation by certain Judicial Service staff in managing land-related documents.
Justice Torkornoo highlighted a disturbing pattern in which court staff tampered with land documents to favor specific individuals in exchange for bribes, calling for an immediate halt to this unethical practice.
Addressing Judicial Service staff in Cape Coast during the 50th-anniversary celebration of the Judicial Service Staff Association, she urged them to uphold the highest standards of public service and work towards changing the widespread perception of corruption within the judiciary.
The Chief Justice also voiced alarm over the increasing involvement of some court staff in criminal activities, including the production of fake divorce documents and fraudulent letters of administration, which are used to drain the accounts of deceased persons, depriving rightful beneficiaries of their inheritance.
She issued a stern warning to those engaging in such misconduct, emphasizing that these actions contribute to delays in the delivery of justice.
