President Nana Akufo-Addo has vowed that any political party or presidential candidate violating the law in the lead-up to the December elections will face appropriate sanctions.
During the commissioning of The Law House in Accra on Monday, June 10, President Akufo-Addo emphasized that his government will not tolerate legal breaches by political parties or candidates.
He reaffirmed his commitment to enforcing the rule of law and ensuring order in Ghana, particularly as the December elections approach.
Akufo-Addo highlighted the consistent application of the law to maintain the peace, security, and stability of the nation, despite the ambitions of any political party or presidential candidate.
“I want to use the opportunity on this platform to reassure the Ghanaian people that a law enforcement agency of the state, including the office of the Attorney General, will do all within their power to ensure that law and order prevail in the country at all time, especially at this critical election year.”
“We will not allow the peace, security and stability of the nation that makes Ghana a beacon on the African continent, to be compromised on the alter of the ambitions of any political party or presidential candidate. It will not happen.”
The Law House, a ten-story building adjacent to the High Court complex, was officially inaugurated by the President and will serve as the new office of the Attorney General and Ministry of Justice.
Originally initiated in 2001, the project was revitalized in January 2023 and features modern amenities, including conference rooms, office spaces, parking lots, and a dining area.
