Parliament has approved four nominees for the Supreme Court as justices vetted by the Appointment Committee on Tuesday the 25th of September 2018.
They are Professor Nii Ashie Kotey, Justice Samuel Kofi Marful-Sau, Justice Agnes Mercy Abla Dordzie and Nene Abayaateye Ofoe Amegatcher.
Chairman of the Appointment Committee, Joseph Osei Owusu presented the report of the committee to the plenary for adoption.
The committee duly considered the nominations in the light of provisions of the 1992 Constitution and order 74 of the standing order of the House and was satisfied with knowledge and experience exhibited by the nominees.
In addition the report indicated that the nominees exhibited independent mindedness and assured the committee of the will to interpret the law as it is without favor and pledged to be about partisanship in the discharge of their duties.
The House spent more than thirty minutes in debating the report of the committee and approved it.
