Parliament has approved the Tribunals Bill, 2026, paving the way for the reintroduction of tribunals under a new legal framework aimed at strengthening Ghana’s justice delivery system.
The Bill was passed after its third reading in accordance with Parliament’s Standing Orders and will now be forwarded to President John Dramani Mahama for assent before it becomes law.
The legislation, which was laid before Parliament earlier this year by the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, seeks to improve access to justice, reduce the growing backlog of court cases, and restore tribunals with enhanced constitutional safeguards and stronger oversight mechanisms.
After its introduction, the Bill was referred to Parliament’s Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee and the Judiciary Committee for detailed consideration before being returned to the House for debate and approval.
With Parliament’s approval, the Tribunals Bill, 2026, is now one step closer to becoming law, subject to presidential assent.
