The court, located at Barekese, the district capital, was constructed with funding from the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF).

The facility comprises a courtroom, registrar’s office, judge’s chambers, docket rooms, bailiffs’ and recorders’ offices, a cashier’s office, a store and other administrative facilities to support the efficient administration of justice.

Addressing the inauguration ceremony, Justice Baffoe-Bonnie expressed gratitude to the Barekese Traditional Council, particularly the Chief of Barekese, Nana Amoapim Brenya I, for providing land for the construction of the facility.

He said the inauguration marked a significant milestone in efforts to bring justice closer to residents of Barekese and surrounding communities.

The Chief Justice stressed that access to justice should not be determined by geographical location, noting that the establishment of the court would reduce the difficulties residents faced in accessing judicial services.
