Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is a role model for some of us in the judiciary, the Chief Justice (CJ), His Lordship Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah has said.
Receiving the Otumfuo commemorative gold coin at his office in Accra on Wednesday, February 2, 2022, the CJ said over the years, the Asantehene had settled many land disputes in a fair manner, which had reduced the workload of the courts.
“When he ascended to the Golden Stool, there were several land disputes in court and he made it clear that he was not going to endorse a chief who was involved in the double sale of land and his efforts are very commendable and I wish that some other traditional rulers may also emulate him and also continue to assist the judiciary,” Justice Anin Yeboah stated. His Lordship Justice Anin Yeboah was the fifth of selected personalities to receive the gold coin.
Land Disputes & Investments
Justice Anin Yeboah said currently, many of the cases in the courts were related to land disputes.
“Beyond the fact that they [ land cases] prevent people from investing in the country, they also bring down the development of the country. So if we have somebody who is very fair in bringing some of these disputes to the early solution, he needs all the support to do more,” he said.
Justice Anin Yeboah also thanked the delegation for the honour of presenting the gold coin to him.
