President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has touted his government's achievements in the judicial sector in his State of the Nation address in Parliament today.
According to the President, his administration has successfully prevented the judgement debts that characterized the previous administration.
He disclosed that the Attorney General (A-G), Godfred Yeboah Dame, has done a great job by ensuring the state is not saddled with the payment of unnecessary bad debts.
He revealed that due to the A-G's good work, his government has saved Ghana trillions of cedis that hitherto would have gone into the payment of judgment debts.
"The Attorney General has continued in a very effective manner the tradition under this administration of contesting every single litigation against the State and has avoided the numerous judgement debts that used to be given against the State. The office of Attorney General has saved the country over GHC 10 trillion", he said on the floor of Parliament.
This revelation by the President was as expected, met with exaggerated expressions of demurrals from the Minority Caucus as they shouted in disbelief.
But President Nana Addo, in obvious response to the Minority's scepticism, replied "all the evidence is there".
