Contrariwise, in Communication 322/2.006, Tsatsu Tsikata v. Republic of Ghana, the Commission found that a series of measures taken by the government amounted to interference in the independence of the judiciary with respect to the case of the constitutionality of the Fast Track High Court, in violation of Article 26 of the ACHPR. 65 In the presence of measures taken by the government which amount to interference in the independence of the judiciary, one can conclude to a violation of article 26 of the Charter. 167.
