Governor Nigel Dakin, who announced her appointment in 2020 also confirmed the extension of her contract, doing it in an Instagram post.

Dakin described the former court of appeal justice as,  a reformer as he some notable initiatives of her first three years, the Mediation Center, new regulations for JP’s and the continuing SIPT investigation.

Dakin described her as ‘low key but very effective.’

Agyemang replaced Jamaican, Margaret Ramsay-Hale, who moved on to the Cayman Islands in January 2020.
