He advised the staff to exhibit a high level of professionalism when working to maintain the high standard of the Judicial Service, adding that they should adopt a good maintenance culture to ensure that the building last for a long time.

On his part, Deputy Central Regional Minister Hon. Thomas Yaw Adjei Baffoe said the NPP government will continue and complete all the projects initiated by the previous government.

“This new complex court was started by the NDC government 2016 and we will make sure all the projects in the Mfantseman Municipality have been completed.”

Lastly, the Paramount Chief of Mankessim Traditional Area Osagyefo Amanfo Adu also condemned the acts that always lead to court cases. He advised the public to be of good conduct to prevent them from going to court always.
