President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has cut sod for the construction of 20 townhouses for Court of Appeal Judges in Kumasi.

According to a communication shared on the official Twitter handle of the Ministry of Information, "This will serve as permanent residences for Court of Appeal Judges based in Kumasi, who will be mandated to handle cases in the northern part of the country."

The communication added that, "Once completed, it will mean that appeals from Upper West, Upper East, Savannah, North East, Northern, Bono, Bono East, Ahafo, Western North and Ashanti Regions will be conveniently heard within a much shorter period."

The event was attended by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and the Chief Justice, Kwasi Anin Yeboah, among other personalities.
