Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo has advised young girls to desist from offering their bodies to old men in exchange for iPhones.
"Girls, don't give yourself to some dirty old man for an iPhone or for any type of phone. It is a tool, that's all, one day you'll own [one]. You'll be able to buy one if you are patient and you do not throw away your virtue," she admonished.
She was speaking at the Chief Justice's Mentoring Programme for students initiated to expose pupils to the functions of the judiciary and instil in them virtues of patriotism and selflessness.
The programme which was under the theme: "I pledge myself to the service of Ghana" was held in Kumasi on Tuesday, 26 March 2019.
The Chief Justice advised young people to ensure that the time they spend on their phone and on the internet are for purposes of learning and other useful activities that will enhance their lives.
She said the technology young people see today was not around yesterday and may not be around tomorrow but the values of honesty, respect, hard work, self-discipline, integrity and service will always be there and will continue to serve mankind.
She therefore, urged them to be committed to the country's peace, stability, environmental integrity, sanitation, and every aspect of the national existence.
On his part, Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II also commended the Chief Justice for the number of initiatives she has undertaken to improve the condition of the judiciary and to bring justice closer to the people.
He indicated that the Chief Justice's Mentoring programme will go a long way to impact positively on the lives of participants.
Otumfuo's speech was read on his behalf by Baffour Owusu Amankwatia VI, the Bantamahene.

@Yaw. I laff enter Chief Justice' office! Agyei!

Only dirt knows what dirty is,just a figure of speech.
It is just a figure of speech to advise young girls not to go wayward.
This woman doesn't deserve to be CJ
People it seems you do not understand the CJ. The word Dirty does not literary means Dirty. It is an idiomatic expression meaning once elderly men cheapen themselves to sleep with young girls they become dirty old men or otherwise bad old man. So stop castigating the CJ for her comments. The same too applies to Old women who sleep with young boys they are also called dirty old women meaning bad or spoilt old women.
There are gentle old men, fine, but as soon as you expose yourself ( sleep with a girl of your daughter's age) or grand daughter, then you become DIRTY OLD MAN. That is what she is speaking about. Girls, a word to the wise ...... take it serious its a very good advise.
A FEMALE CHAU*VINIST. MY FATHER IS 96 YEARS OLD NOW AND NOT A DIRTY OLDMAN. PERHAPS YOUR REFERENCE IS TO YOUR FATHER AND YOUR HUSBAND. YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE A CJ. YOUR PREDECESOR, GEORGINA WOOD IS FAR OLDER THAN YOU BUT DID MARVELOUS WORKS AND LEFT AND SHE STILL LOOKS MUCH , MUCH BEAUTIFUL THAN YOU WHO IS YOUNGER. EVEN THOUGH SHE IS OLDER THAN YOU IS SHE DIRTY? EMPHATICALLY NO. LEARN TO RESPECT THE ELDER TO RECEIVE SAME. INSULTING OLD MEN BEFORE YOUNG GIRLS. A BADLY BROUGHT UP CHILD LIKE YOU. YOU THINK OLDMEN ARE ***barred word***. YOU MAKE CHILDREN NOT RESPECT THEIR FATHERS BUT ONLY THEIR MOTHERS BECAUSE YOU TELL THE GIRLS THEIR FATHERS ARE OLD ANDDIRTY. YOU ARE NOT AN EXAMPLE TO THE GHANAIAN SOCIETY.
If you have any advice, it should be on how to maintain law and order in the country not insulting Old men before young girls, Besides, there are other Old women out there chasing the young and energetic men or boys all arround. What about that? Are those old wiomen dirty too? Yes I think they are.. The nation bath, eat and drinks corruption, what has your department done about it? Please concentrate more on what you have been assigned to do and leave those old men out there alone..
