The Minority in Parliament has criticised Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, describing him as an intolerant head of the judiciary.
The caucus said its stance follows what it described as sustained attacks on its members after they raised concerns about the processes that led to Justice Baffoe-Bonnie’s appointment by the President.
Addressing journalists on Monday, January 26, 2026, Minority Leader and Effutu MP, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, announced that the Minority would boycott the Chief Justice’s scheduled engagement with the Speaker of Parliament.
Mr Afenyo-Markin questioned the Chief Justice’s recent visits to state institutions, including the Jubilee House, asking whether the tour amounted to a “thank you tour” in appreciation of his appointment.
“As he heads to Parliament today, we, as the Minority, do not see him as a tolerant head of the judiciary. Members of the Minority came under attack when we criticised the processes leading to his nomination,” he said.
He added that the Minority would not participate in what it described as the Chief Justice’s “thank you tour,” stressing that if Justice Baffoe-Bonnie wishes to engage the caucus, he should do so at their offices.
