The Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central and member of Parliament’s Appointments Committee, Patrick Yaw Boamah, has shared his reflections following the vetting of Chief Justice nominee, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, on Monday, November 10, 2025.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Mr. Boamah said the Committee successfully fulfilled its oversight mandate despite some controversy surrounding the process. He wrote:
“On Monday, 10th November 2025, the Appointments Committee fulfilled its oversight mandate by vetting Chief Justice nominee, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie. May God grant us wisdom and strength as we work diligently for God and Country.”
He explained that the exercise was conducted in accordance with parliamentary procedure, even though members of the Minority staged a walkout, describing Justice Baffoe-Bonnie as a “disputed nominee.”
The Minority’s protest did not stop proceedings, as the rest of the Committee continued with the vetting session at Parliament House in Accra.
During the session, Justice Baffoe-Bonnie faced questions on issues including judicial independence, transparency, and reforms within the judiciary.
