Swedru High Court Deserves Facelift
With the opening of numerous sophisticated, well-equipped, well-furnished judges’ flats District Court across the country by the immediate past Chief Justice, Justice Anim Yeboah, the premises of the High Court in Agona Swedru is nothing to write home about, despite its status, as litigants and members of the public who visit the Court are made to sit on benches under trees outside the courtroom to wait for their cases to be called, because of lack of space.
The irony of the problem is that some of the people have to loiter around because of lack of space on the benches, with some standing under the scorching sun, not to talk about the moment of rainfall.

More worrying is the fact that the Swedru High Court has no recording gadgets that will aid the judge in recording arguments and counterarguments by the lawyers who appear before it, thereby forcing the judge to write every detail argument by hand, in this time of the technical world.
Though no official complaint has been made by the Court, residents of the town and litigants who visit the court are of the view that the Swedru High Court deserves a facelift to befit its status.
