  "account": "Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Minority Chief Whip in Parliament, has defended his caucus's decision to walk out of the vetting process for three Supreme Court nominees. Annoh-Dompreh explained that the Minority was not opposed to any of the nominees but rather the procedure being used, particularly the lack of a customary publication period for public input. He insisted that the Minority had raised its concerns regarding the process with the Majority and presiding officers before making the decision to walk out. The Minority Chief Whip argued that the nominees should have been published for public scrutiny before appearing before the Appointments Committee, asserting that the process was fundamentally flawed. Annoh-Dompreh noted that the nominees being considered for the Supreme Court deserved a more thorough vetting process, including ample opportunity for public input, as they would serve on Ghana's highest court. He accused the Majority of inconsistent standards, recalling the two-week publication period for Supreme Court nominees when his party was in opposition. Annoh-Dompreh emphasized that the Minority had communicated its position long before the vetting began and that the walkout should not be seen as an attempt to frustrate Parliament's work.",
