The President performed a sod-cutting ceremony for the construction of townhouses for judges of the appeals courts in Kumasi.

Some regions that will benefit include Western North, Ahafo, Ashanti, Bono East, Bono, North East, Upper West, Savanna, Upper East, and many others.
Cases are also expected to be adjudicated in the shortest possible period. At the sod-cutting ceremony, the overlord of the Ashanti Kingdom, Otumfour Osei Tutu II could be spotted in pictures exchanging greetings with Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo.
The two, had a lengthy friendly chat whilst other dignitaries look on. As usual, Otumfour Osei Tutu II was represented massively with the entourage of traditional authorities from Manhyia.

The three joined hands to cut the sod for the project to officially begin. In pictures posted on the official Facebook page of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, the land for the project has already been cleared with contractors busily working on site.
Iron rods and other building materials have already been allocated to the site with all indications that the work will be completed as scheduled.
