On the issue of the jurors, he said their presence during the term of courts should not be misconstrued as being there for commercial purposes. He warned that, as a Judge, he will not hesitate to punish any of the jurors suspected of misconduct. On the issue of logistical support, Gbeneweleh opted for vehicles to be assigned to judges of specialized courts to include the Tax, Probate, Debt and Commercial like in the case of the Circuit Court and Relieving Judges. He also blamed the lack of modern recording equipment as some of the challenges confronting the court to speedily hear and determine cases throughout the country. “Our magistrates should be equipped with computers and competent clerical staff,” Gbeneweleh appealed.
