Mabel Maame Agyemang (née Banful; formerly also Yamoa) is the current Chief Justice of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

[11] Justice Agyemang returned to The Gambia in 2010, still with the Commonwealth Secretariat, as an expert Appeal Court Judge.

[5][13] Her appointment was widely seen as an inspired choice as she is seen by the international community as an experienced and independent minded judge.

She was a driver of innovation and reform, introducing ICT solutions to Judges for case law research amongst other things.It was regrettable that despite her excellent and successful tenure, the President at the time unlawfully terminated her services to the dismay and disappointment of the entire legal fraternity.
