jin88bet.onejin88bet.onejin88bet.onejin88betjin88bet.one.onejin88bet.oneNana Ato Dadzie, a former Chief of Staff, has supported plans to reintroduce Ghanjin88bet.onea’s Public Tribunal system, saying it could widen public involvement in the administration of justice and complement the country’s formal courts.
Sak168app.babypeaking aak168app.babyt a forum in Accra last Wednesday, he argued that the proposed system reflected long-standing community methods of resolving disputes, in which family heads and traditional authorities play an important role.

“I’m not surprised that new legislatioak168app.clubak168app.clubak168app.clubn seeks to reintroduce the Public Tak168app.clubribunal system. I think iak168app.clubt makes a lot of sense to have the public involved in the administration of justice,” he said.
Nana Dadzie, a lawyer who served uak168app.clubnder the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC), said the former Public Tribunals operated under the same laws as conventional coks168app.siteks168app.siteurts. Their main distinction, he explained, was the participation of people who were not legal professionals ks168app.sitein the aks168app.sitedjudication process.

He challeic88nged the assumption that justice should be administered exclusively by lawyers, pointing to the many ic88ic88disputes settled outside the formal judicial system by traditional ic88leaders and heads of families.
In his view, Ghana’s justice system should acknowledge those existing arrangements and develop them rather than treating them as separate from formal leic88ic88gal processes.
He also said weaknesses in the previous Public Tribunal system should be dealt ic88with through changes to its structure and operation. The proic88ic88blems associated wic88ic88ith the earic88lier model, ic88he argued, were not sufficient reason to abandon the wider concept.
Nana Dadic8ic888zie expressedic88ic88ic88 his views during the third editiic88on of “Time with the Politician”, an interic88active forum organised by thelr88lr88 Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Ghana and the Department of Pollr88itical Science at the University of Ghana (UG).
The event covered issues including public leadership and national development. It was designed to give political science students an opportunity to engage directly with experienced politiclr88al figures and gain insight into the practical delr88mands of public servilr88lr88lr88lr88lr88ce.
Presidential term and traditional authorities
The former Chief of Staff also backed the extension of the presidential term frlr88lr88om four years to five, saying glr88overnmentlr88s needed additional time to carry out their programmes effectively.
He argued that the existing four-year period was too limited forlr88 a government to deliver meaningful national development, particularly because a significant portion of the term was taken up by lr88thlr88e process oflrlr8888 forming an administration.

“You need at least six months to op88op88forop88m a goop88vernment,” he said.
Nana Dadzie further called for top88raditional authorities to have a stronger role in maintaining law and order. He highlighted tsi88he fight against illegal mining, saying chiefs and landowners were more familiar with their communities and therefore better placed than security personnel to identify and si88si88prevesi88nt unlawful activities.
“The administration of justice should be si88spread out. We shouldn’t exclude themsi88si88,” he said.
Anna Lena Sabroso-Wasserfall, Country Representative of KAS Ghana, encouraged the students attending the forum to make full use of the opportunity by asking thoughtful questions88v and learning from the political leaders88v present.
