The Chief Justice together with her entourage also inspected the Wa High court where she was briefed on some challenges that needed to be corrected. The Chief Justice later paid a courtesy call on the overlord of the Waala traditional area Wa Naa Fuseni Seidu Pelpuo IV.

Speaking behalf of the Chief, Naa Seidu Bomson called for a collaboration between the Judiciary and the traditional Authorities.

The Chief Justice lauded the call and explained that it is the reason why the Alternative Disputes Resolution (ADR) has been established to help in dealing with court issues.
