The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye, has called on judges across the country to uphold integrity, truth, and strong moral values in the administration of justice, stressing that their decisions have a profound impact on individuals, institutions, and the nation as a whole.
He made the remarks during a thanksgiving service held in Accra on Friday, July 31, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Ghana’s Supreme Court. The event was organised under the theme, “Honouring the Past, Celebrating the Present and Defining the Future.”
Addressing members of the judiciary and other dignitaries, Apostle Nyamekye described the role of judges as a sacred responsibility, noting that they serve as instruments of justice whose rulings shape lives and influence public confidence in the legal system.
He encouraged judges to ensure that every decision they make is guided by truth, ethical principles, and a clear conscience.
According to him, the credibility and strength of Ghana’s justice system depend largely on the personal character and integrity of those entrusted with dispensing justice.
“As judges adjudicating on behalf of God, in passing judgments and determining people’s fate, in determining the truth in every matter, your integrity should not be in question at all,” he stated.
Apostle Nyamekye also emphasised that the future of Ghana’s judiciary will be determined by the quality of judges serving today.
He therefore encouraged them to build a legacy of fairness, honesty, and accountability that future generations would be proud to uphold.
According to him, values are not only meant to help people distinguish between right and wrong but also serve as the foundation for making sound decisions and promoting justice in society.
The Church of Pentecost Chairman further cautioned judges against compromising their conscience for personal or external interests, urging them to remain steadfast in their commitment to justice regardless of the circumstances.
The thanksgiving service formed part of activities marking 150 years of Ghana’s Supreme Court and reflected on the institution’s history, achievements, and aspirations for the future of justice in the country.
