Addressing concerns over allegations of bribery and undue influence in judicial outcomes, Gyamfi underscored the need to safeguard the reputation and integrity of the judiciary.
He urged the public to trust in the judicial process, even in instances where court decisions may not align with public or political expectations.
Highlighting the critical roles played by institutions such as the Peace Council, Electoral Commission, and Judiciary in upholding peace and justice, Gyamfi called for collective support in defending their independence and integrity.
With upcoming elections approaching, he emphasized the importance of respecting the roles of these institutions and refraining from actions that could undermine their effectiveness.
