Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie has expressed surprise at the performance of some state institutions over the past eight years.

According to him, comparing the current progress of some public institutions with their performance over the past eight years raises questions about what went wrong during that period.

The Chief Justice praised the performance of the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) and other public institutions under the current administration.

According to him, some of the developments he has witnessed have left him wondering what Ghana was doing over the past eight years.

He made the remarks during a visit to MIIF on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, where he said he was impressed by what he had seen at the institution and by reports of the performance of other state entities.

The Chief Justice said a visit to the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) earlier in the day had further reinforced his impression that some public institutions were now performing significantly better.

“I must congratulate you. I mean, you have done marvellously well. Sometimes, when we hear about the things that you have done and the things that some organisations are doing now, we wonder. Some of us keep wondering what we really have been doing in the past eight years,” he said.

“We've just come back from SSNIT. We went to SSNIT this morning, and the kind of things that we heard and what we had heard even before we went there, if you compare that with the fact that, not too long ago, SSNIT was preparing to sell its prized assets like the Labadi Beach Hotel, you wonder how Ghana could have sunk so low,” he added.
