Jurors at the Accra High Court have announced the withdrawal of their services effective Monday, June 2, citing the non-payment of their allowances for the past eight months. According to the group, several attempts to retrieve their payments have yielded no results. Despite formally notifying the Acting Chief Justice of their intended absence, they said they have not received any concrete assurance regarding when the arrears will be settled. Speaking to Citi News on Monday, June 2, a spokesperson for the group, Joshua Alorgbey, described the situation as a disregard for their welfare and financial security, emphasising that without immediate payment, members cannot continue to show up for proceedings. “We are in the eighth month, and they have not paid the jurors as I speak. The jurors have served a notice to the acting Chief Justice and the Judiciary Service that they are embarking on a strike from today, June 2. “We had a series of meetings with the acting Chief Justice and the Judicial Service. The series of meetings began in October 2024, but they kept postponing it. The legal year will end very soon. What will become of our money? We cannot continue refinancing or going to court anymore,” he said.
