A law lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr Raymond Atuguba has called for “a positive revolutionary spirit of action” in “the bossom of every Ghanaian” to help push the nation forward.
He said if this positive revolutionary spirit is not realised, the likes of delta forces “will continue to act out for us in the negative version of what we all need to have”.
Speaking at the maiden edition of the Revolutionary Lecture Series, Dr Atuguba shared several ideas from politics, economic, legal and other sectors that will lead to the transformation and shaping of national attitudes and behaviours.
He said a simpler structure for legal education where law faculties independently prepare students to write the bar exams set by a board of legal examiners without need for a law school will help bridge the gap between law and justice in the court halls and law and justice in the public sphere.
Dr. Atuguba added that making the court system electronic must begin from outside the court and not inside of it.
He explained “electronic filing of cases, electronic notification of court processes reduces the human agency that court officers love, improves efficiency and speed and will reduce human and vehicular traffic in Accra.
The Revolutionary Lecture Series was born out of the experiences and philosophy of former President Jerry John Rawlings and the revolutionary transition Ghana went through under him.
