Judges and the entire staff of the judicial service have contributed an amount of GHc125,000 to aid victims of the flooding in Mepe and other areas of the Volta Region, resulting from the water spillage from the Akosombo and Kpong Dams.
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the North Tongu Member of Parliament, commended Chief Justice Her Ladyship Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, the judges, and the entire Judicial Service of Ghana for their ‘extremely kind and generous’ gesture in supporting displaced persons.
“It has been disclosed that the Chief Justice initiated a compassionate mobilization of personal contributions from judges and staff of the judiciary including her own financial support amounting to an impressive GHS125,000.00 which she gracefully announced to my revered chiefs and I at a beautiful ceremony in her office earlier today,” he wrote on his X platform on Wednesday, December 13.
He added that “it is most heartwarming to note that the funds will be used by the judiciary to construct a mechanized borehole, and to supply selected building materials for our second Safe Alternative Housing Project in Mepe.
“North Tongu, and particularly, my dearest displaced persons will eternally be grateful to this Chief Justice and Ghana’s esteemed judiciary.”
