The Judiciary Can Do More to Improve Ghana's GDP in Fines as Law Breakers Abound

By News Desk

Every nation prides in things that accords her self sufficiency. An enhanced GDP informs a good workings of the economy upon which all sectors thrive.

One of the low hunging fruits of Ghana is the spate of indiscipline and the rate at which citizens break laws. Laws are broken on daily basis on personal, communal, corporate and governmental fronts. This should be the opporunity for the state to rake in much revenue in fines.

Numerous methods can be considered in making this work. Since law breaking cuts across all areas of the society, establishments of courts in all sizeable communities can do the trick. Where judges may not be deployed all over the country, local jurors can be trained to take over the admnistration of justice in these special courts.

With all seriousness applied to such judicial systems, real development can take place alongside generation of monies for communal, district and national project executions.

Where offenders are not in position to pay such fines, they can be sent to state farms to render few days of agricultral services to offset whatever fines they had incurred.
