Supreme Court vetting: nominees face MPs today

Parliament is set to begin vetting seven new nominees to the Supreme Court on Monday, 16 June, in what is expected to be a high-stakes and politically sensitive process.

 The nominees, appointed by President John Dramani Mahama, are all sitting Justices of the Court of Appeal and include: Justice Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei, Justice Gbiel Simon Suurbaareh, Justice Senyo Zamere

Justice Kweku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo, Justice Philip Bright Mensah

Justice Janapare Bartels-Kodwo and Justice Hafisata Amaleboba.

The parliamentary vetting will be conducted by the Appointments Committee and is scheduled to run until Wednesday (18 June).

A statement from Parliament’s Media Relations Department said the vetting process will examine the nominees’ legal qualifications, judicial track records, and overall suitability to serve on Ghana’s apex court.
