Barker-Vormawor's full post

The whole of this morning, I have been sitting in the Court of His Lordship Justice Mensah, who is also Osaagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, the venerable Dormaahene. I am sitting here just observing!

At some point I was nearly moved to tears. I watched him cut short his vacation so that he will give hearing to an old lady who was crying that if her case was adjourned as intended, she may not live to see that day.

Not only did the Judge immediately change the dates; his voice was somber. And HE APOLOGIZED to the woman. He said we sit here to do justice and I am sorry if I failed you.

I felt goosebumps all over me. Wow! Must be the “Osagyefo” name

I pray this man becomes the Next Chief Justice. We need humanity in that office.
