The Legal Aid Commission is appealing for urgent support to address staff shortages and limited office coverage that are restricting access to legal services for vulnerable Ghanaians. The Commission’s Board Chairman and Supreme Court Judge, Justice Samuel Kwame Asiedu Adibu, disclosed the challenges at the launch of the 2026 Legal Aid Week in Accra.
