The Judicial Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has raised concerns about indiscipline among some of its members.
In a New Year message to its members, dated December 31, 2023, signed by its national president, Samuel Afotey Otu, JUSAG indicated that some of the grave misconducts resulted in some dire disciplinary actions against those found guilty.
“I would like to state that the year 2023, has recorded a lot of cases of misconducts leading to disciplinary actions against staff. Some of the grave misconducts resulted in some dire disciplinary actions against those found guilty.
“We are therefore using this medium to once again appeal to all staff of the Judicial Service
to always abide by the code of ethics in the discharge of our duties. Your job security is
of utmost importance to us.
“Therefore, always be measured in your dealings with court users. Remember to exhibit a high level of integrity and professionalism at all times in the New Year and beyond. We hope that you all enjoy a well-deserved break over the festive season, spending time
with loved ones and reflecting on the year that has passed, and making resolutions about
the New Year,” the statement said.
It added “2023 has been a difficult year for everyone, but we have faced the challenges and come out stronger than before. We are so proud of our union and the work that we have done to support and protect our members during these difficult times. As we move into 2024, we look forward to continuing to work together towards a brighter future for all. We have many exciting projects and initiatives planned for the coming year, and we are confident that together, we can achieve greater things.”
