Tema Court in State of Disrepair

Rats Have invaded the premises of the Tema Circuit Court and are steadily destroying public records including dockets and files. Chronicle investigation can reveal that rats have found a comfortable habital-in a dilapidated cupboard where the dockets and files are kept, leaving in their trail the droppings.

According to the officer, the court does not have archives for keeping disposed dockets and files, thus exposing them to the vagaries of the weather. Chronicle also detected that the ceiling of the courtroom is in a terrible state of disrepair, posing great danger to lawyers, court staff as well as the presiding judge.
