The President of the Ghana Bar Association, Yaw Boafo Acheampong, has called for the establishment of a Greater Regional Office and District Offices of the Attorney General across the country.
According to him, this would curtail the phenomenon of police prosecutors who are left to handle criminal cases at that level.
Speaking at the commissioning of the Law House Project today, Mr. Acheampong emphasized the need to end such a practice by employing more lawyers in the regions and districts to enhance the AG’s work.
He acknowledged the project as the single biggest investment ever to have been carried out in the history of the Attorney General.
Also, he said that the physical infrastructure is not enough without adequate furnishing to achieve its purpose.
He, however, mentioned that most offices of the AG across the country are not fit for purpose and require urgent attention.
In addition, the GBA president prayed for a maintenance culture that would see to the proper maintenance of the edifice.
Furthermore, Mr. Acheampong was quick to touch on the need for the nation to also channel some efforts into building the capacity of state attorneys to acquire global skills to make them competitive.
