Supreme Court refuses to roll back directions on illegally diverted forest land
The Supreme Court has dismissed a curative plea by Richie Rich Cooperative Housing Society, keeping its pan-India directions on illegally diverted forest land in force.
President John Dramani Mahama is set to swear in three new government appointees at a ceremony today at Jubilee House. Mahama Ayariga will be confirmed as Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs, while Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings will take up the role of Minister for Environment, Science, and Technology.
Additionally, Supreme Court nominees Justice Sophia Rosetta Bernasko Essah, Justice Edward Amoako Asante, and Anthony Forson Jr. will be confirmed, completing a significant stage in the appointment process. The ceremony is scheduled for 10:00 am, following Parliament’s approval of the nominations on Thursday. The appointments were initially met with resistance from the Minority Caucus, led by Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who walked out of the Appointments Committee in objection to the accelerated vetting process.
However, the Committee's Chairman, Bernard Ahiafor, dismissed the concerns as "flimsy," "hollow," and "baseless."
