Parliament approves three new Supreme Court Justices
Parliament has approved the nominations of Justice Sophia Rosetta Bernasko Essah, Justice Edward Amoako Asante and private legal practitioner Anthony Forson Jnr for appointment as Justices of the Supreme Court.
Parliament has officially endorsed the nominations of three new Supreme Court Justices in Ghana. The decision follows a vote of approval on the recommendations from the Appointments Committee, which unanimously endorsed all three nominees. The contentious process saw the Minority Caucus walk out in protest, but their objections were ultimately dismissed as "flimsy" by the committee chairman.
The three nominees - Justice Sophia Rosetta Bernasko Essah, Justice Edward Amoako Asante, and Anthony Forson Jnr - all bring extensive experience from both the judiciary and private legal practice. President John Dramani Mahama nominated the three individuals in consultation with the Judicial Council, and their appointments will now proceed through the constitutional process to join Ghana's apex court.
