During visits to the Kankan region, the Minister addressed issues regarding judicial efficiency, urging magistrates to accelerate case processing and reduce delays to prevent citizens from seeking private justice. The Minister also denounced excessive judicial transport fees at the Kankan Court of First Instance, noting that disproportionate charges penalize impoverished citizens. To address this, Tounkara ordered the public display of official regulatory tariffs for administrative and judicial acts and warned that officials would be held accountable for failing to adhere to official decrees. Parallel to the Minister’s efforts, the General Inspectorate of Judicial and Penitentiary Services conducted inspections in Kérouané, Beyla, and Lola to assess court functioning, staff working conditions, and the rights of detainees. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-11: Guinea Justice Minister pushes for judicial reforms and efficiency Guinea's Justice Minister is conducting a national tour to accelerate judicial processing, reduce case delays, and improve the oversight of courts and prisons in regions including Kankan, Kérouané, and Beyla. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/guinea-justice-minister-pushes-for-judicial-reforms-and-efficiency ### 2026-10-08: Guinea Justice Minister denounces excessive judicial fees in Kankan Guinean Justice Minister Ibrahima Sory II Tounkara has ordered the public posting of official legal tariffs in Kankan to combat excessive judicial fees and protect vulnerable citizens from overcharging. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/guinea-justice-minister-denounces-excessive-judicial-fees-in-kankan --- Cite as: Judicial reform efforts in Guinea.
