If you do not have a judicial system that works, many people will simply take the laws into their own hands and misbehave and do what they want.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that Ghana had a positive perception within the siub-region, a perception that needed to be sustained and consolidated: \u201cTherefore, in trying to manage the security situation, it is important for us that we do get a judicial system that works and we are all lucky that within the sub-region, we are perceived as a country where the judicial system works and where you could expect justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He continued with an admonition, \u201cIf the interpretation of the law is tilted in our favour all the time, people will start accusing the judiciary and will not have the confidence that they need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The comment about perceived lopsided interpretation of the law has generated lots of reactions on social media with some people asking whether it was a tacit admission that the judiciary was doing the bidding of government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion\/advertisement?
