According to AWLA, the procedure for filling cases in court was cumbersome and should be simplified. This came to light at a training workshop organised for members of the Court Users Committee (CUC) at Suhum in the Eastern Region. Ms Kuwa said the CUCs functioned as a mechanism for improving public participation in Judicial processes through information sharing among members of criminal justice institutions and empowered citizens. The Executive Director of AWLA urged the public to use the courts instead of other means in seeking justice because the court was efficient in justice delivery.
