Former Asante-Akim North MP and legal practitioner, Andy Appiah Kubi, has renewed his call for high-profile criminal cases in Ghana to be televised, arguing that it will improve transparency and public trust in the justice system.
He believes that allowing the public to follow court proceedings involving prominent figures would reduce suspicion, misinformation, and speculation around such cases.
Speaking after a court appearance in Accra, he stressed that openness in the justice system is necessary for accountability and fairness.
“We must allow the public to see how justice is administered so that confidence in the system is strengthened,” he said.
He added that modern technology enables courts to increase public access without undermining legal procedures.
“If people follow the process themselves, it reduces suspicion and builds trust in the outcome,” he noted.
Appiah Kubi maintained that televising selected high-profile trials would not prejudice justice, but rather enhance the credibility of the judiciary and ensure that justice is seen to be done.
