The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (A.M.A.) has officially inaugurated a new District Court at its old premises to strengthen enforcement of its by-laws and ensure swift justice delivery on minor offences such as sanitation breaches and traffic infractions.
The newly commissioned court comprises a typing pool, registrar’s office, magistrate’s chambers, docket room, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) office, and washrooms, all designed to meet modern judicial standards.
Speaking at the commissioning on Tuesday, the Mayor of Accra, Hon. Michael Kpakpo Allotey, described the establishment of the court as a personal dream fulfilled since assuming office.
“This court has been on my heart from the first day I stepped into office. I am a happy man to see this court open today,” he remarked, adding that the facility would play a crucial role in the city’s Reset Agenda to restore order and cleanliness.
The Mayor explained that with the court now operational, enforcement of the A.M.A.’s by-laws, especially on sanitation and its “red line” policy, which designates specific no-trading zones within markets and public spaces, among others, would be intensified.
