The Daily Graphic and The Heritage welcome the newly appointed Chief Justice, Sophia Akuffo. As the new CJ takes office, the paper says it expects a turnaround of the entire judicial system and a permanent solution found to the judicial service workers agitation. It also expects the judiciary under the watch of Justice Akuffo to take steps to erase the perception that some judges cannot resist the temptation of being corrupt. The paper wishes Justice Akuffo a hitch free appearance before parliament for the confirmation process and subsequent swearing in.

The Ghanaian Times Joins the global community to celebrate mothers who were recognised May 14 for their contribution and dedication to humanity. The paper acknowledges the burden of child upbringing and challenges associated with pregnancy and child birth. It is in this regard that the Times believes the day is worth celebrating and refers to a quote by renowned author and religious leader Sheri Dew who said motherhood is more than bearing children. The Times says mothers can be found in all shapes and forms and could be sisters, aunties, leaders, teachers and anybody who is willing to reach out to another human being with love.
