“Work on the project had stopped many years ago. I am glad to say not only has the project been resurrected,“ the President said.
Conducive environment
Also on a visit to the offices of the Council for Law Reform Commission and the Legal Aid Commission, the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, said the building in which they operate was not in a good state. “So part of the processes to ensure we have a modern Attorney-General’s office fit for purpose is what I have undertaken to do, to ensure that we complete the facilities that are at our disposal,” Mr. Dame said.
