Chief Justice Francis Korkpor vowsChief Justice Francis S. Korkpor says the Supreme Court has an extremely important role to keep the country stable and on the path of democracy and ensure a peaceful transfer of power from President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf’s to another democratically elected government. Justice Korkpor said the Supreme Court is ready to dispense fairness, transparency and impartially in all cases that will emerge from the October 10 presidential and legislative elections. Elections are about mass participation for the electorate to decide; no court will act otherwise to suffocate the process,” Korkpor said recently at the opening of the October 2017 Term of the Supreme Court. He noted that the court is manifested through the fair application of the rule of law to ensure protection for all. As such, we share mutual binding obligations to ensure that our country is safe and on the right path to democratic governance,” he stated.
