Legal aid has no resources, they need more money to open more offices and hire more staff -Torkornoo 




Chief Electoral Judge, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, highlighted the need for legal aid to have adequate resources to function effectively and efficiently.

Appearing before the Audit Committee on Friday, May 26, 2023, he said that Legal Aid has a functioning board but lacks the resources to grow and operate effectively. Therefore, he advised to use the necessary materials to help the law so that the weak people of our country can get it. 

He wants resources to be freed up so that aid can reach more agencies across the country, and more staff working in legal aid agencies. He also suggested that Enyemaka increase communication efforts so that Ghanaians can get information about them and what they are doing.
