President John Dramani Mahama has officially sworn in 37 new High Court judges, urging them to uphold the highest standards of integrity, fairness, and impartiality in the administration of justice.
At a brief ceremony held at the Jubilee House in Accra on Thursday, October 23, 2025, President Mahama emphasized that the judiciary plays a crucial role in safeguarding Ghana’s democracy and ensuring economic stability.
He reminded the newly appointed judges that their primary duty is to apply the law without fear or favour and to protect the rights of all citizens, regardless of their background or social status.
“The effective administration of justice is central to the progress of our democracy and the stability of our economy,” President Mahama stated.
The President also commended the judiciary for its leadership in promoting gender equality, noting that the institution continues to serve as a model for affirmative action in Ghana’s public service.
“Even though I am the appointing authority, I must commend the judiciary when it comes to affirmative action and gender balance. You are doing far better than the executive,” he remarked.
President Mahama highlighted that recent judicial appointments, including those to the Court of Appeal, demonstrated significant female representation. He encouraged other branches of government to follow this example.
“A short while ago, we swore in Appeal Court judges, and almost the majority were women. Again, I see strong female representation among this group of High Court judges. Congratulations, and I urge the executive to emulate this,” he added.
The ceremony reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening the judiciary and promoting equal opportunity within the justice system.
