ECOWAS Youth League calls for independence of chief justices

The ECOWAS Youth and Citizens League on Thursday appealed to Speakers of
Parliament in the sub-region to make it a constitutional policy not to allow
Justices of the Supreme Court to identify themselves with any political
party.

This will enable them to feel free to decide on electoral problems that may
come their way, it said in Accra.

A resolution passed by the League at its 36th meeting held in Accra said if
Justices of the Supreme Courts are non-partisan, they can rule on political
issues without fear or favour.

This it said, would go a long way to ensure peace within the sub-region. It
also appealed to the in-coming government not to change chief directors of
ministries as it would pull back the clock of progress.
