Country Report – Ghana – 1992 Reforms

Abstract

In 1992, in response to turmoil during the thirty years following Ghanian independence, Ghana enacted a new Constitution with strict separation of powers. The Constitution protects judicial independence by exclusively vesting judicial power in the judiciary, limiting the power of other branches to interfere with judiciary, and laying out a structured disciplinary process. Also in 2003, Ghana developed a specialized commercial court to encourage foreign investment and otherwise improve its economy.
