The President of the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG), Samuel Afotey Otu, has advised members of the association to refrain from any polical influence as the country prepares for the December Polls.

According to him, as the country prepares for the 2024 General elections, it is important for members to continue to discharge their duties diligently to uphold the independence of the judiciary.

He made the call when the association embarked on a health walk in Aburi in the Eastern Region on April 27, 2024 as part of their activities to mark their 50th anniversary celebration.

"This year is an election year and we (JUSAG) want everybody to take his or her work seriously.”

“Nobody should be influenced by any political party,” adding that “we’re ready to work, we’re ready to deliver our task,” the JUSAG president stated.

Samuel Afotey Otu after leading his members from Ayi-Mensah to Peduase lodge emphaized the need to embark on more health activities to help improve their health.

"I think Judicial Service work is always (about) sitting down . . . and it is not good for our health,” he acknowledged.

He, therefore, urged that, “at least once in a while we should do such programs (health walks).”

On his part the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the Association, Ramsey Ahorklui, outlined floats, symposiums, health screening as part of activities to mark their anniversary celebration.

The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) which celebrated its 50th Anniversary on February 17, 2024 was established in 1973 in Cape Coast in the Central Region.
