Nkroful to get distirct court

Nkroful (w/r) Jan. 13, GNA - Mr. William Tei-Kpoti, Ellembelle District Engineer, has stated that preparations are set for the establishment of a court in the district. He made this known when a team from Accra led by Justice Isaac D. Duose of the Appeal Court visited the district to inspect the progress of work for the commencement of the court premises. Mr Daniel K. Eshun, District Chief Executive (DCE), said the establishment of the court would enable the district to deal timely with cases in the district which were mostly sent to Axim for trial due to the absence of a court in the area.

The DCE was grateful to the Head of State and the Chief Justice for initiating the establishment of a District court in Ellembelle. The District Magistrate for Axim and Ellembelle, Mr Frank Nii Ashietey Addo, said the establishment of the Court in Nkroful is laudable since most of the cases come from Ellembelle district. He prevailed upon the DCE to work hand in hand with him to speed up the process in order to bring justice to the door-step of the people.
