Why Ghana cases drag: a judge does not sit 365 days.
Rough count for a superior-court judge:
365 days
− ~104 weekends = 261 weekdays
− long vacation (1 Aug–30 Sept) ≈ 43 weekdays
− Christmas break (23 Dec–6 Jan) ≈ 11 weekdays
− Easter break ≈ 4 weekdays
− public holidays outside those breaks ≈ 8–10
That leaves about 190–195 possible sitting days before annual leave (up to 30, often taken in the long vacation), training, illness, elections and other duties.
Most judges do not sit full trials in August to September. Only a small roster of vacation judges is warranted; the rest scale down. Even on a sitting day, time goes to applications, research m, rulings, judgments and administrative stuff not only trials.
Judges are being overwhelmed with a lot of matters and most of them regularly become absent for health reasons. Mind you a majority of judges are in their 40s-50s hence their capacity to manage stress and long working hours is limited.
Also aligning dates with the lawyers is also a tedious activity as most lawyers have several other matters spread out in different courts and will likely push dates when the next sitting date doesn’t favor them. This makes matters drastically worse.
As there are more lawyers now practicing, more resources should be invested into building more courtrooms and more incentives should be placed to attract senior lawyers to be judges. Finally lawyers should not be allowed to push dates in regular proceedings on the ground that it simply doesn’t favor them if they have other lawyers that can hold that brief.
@sdhrthmp Elon musk is a liare, meanwhile this idiot hasnt presented any evidence to back his claim against Elon's. Go eat some dirty street food and sleep.
If I had to learn programming all over again in 2026, I wouldn’t try to memorize everything. AI has completely changed how I’d approach it.
I’d start with the basics.
Learn variables so you understand how programs remember things.
Learn conditions so you understand how programs make decisions.
Learn loops so you understand how computers repeat work without you writing the same thing 100 times.
Learn functions so you understand how a big program gets broken into smaller pieces that each have a job.
Learn data structures so you understand how information is organized and moved around.
Learn APIs so you understand how one application can talk to another.
Learn databases so you understand where all that information actually lives and how your application gets it back.
Learn Git so you can experiment, break things, understand what changed and go back when necessary.
Then build something small and watch how all these pieces come together. That part is more important than memorizing syntax.
After that, I’d learn how to work with AI.
And this is where I think a lot of people get it wrong. Don’t just tell AI “build me an app” and copy whatever it gives you. Tell it what you’re trying to achieve. Ask it what would be required to build it properly. Ask what kind of professional would normally handle that job. Then ask the AI to take on that role and guide you through it.
AI can do most of the heavy lifting. Your job is to understand enough to give it direction, ask the right questions, test what it gives you and recognize when it’s confidently doing something stupid.
That’s how I would learn programming in 2026.
