Parliament has approved President Akufo-Addo’s four nominees for the Supreme Court Bench.
With the approval, Ghana now has a total number of 18 Supreme Court judges.
Wednesday’s recommendation for approval was contained in the Chairman of the Appointments Committee of Parliament, Mr Joseph Osei-Owusu’s report presented to the House following their vetting last week.
The four judges approved include Mr Justice Honyenuga whose vetting was characterised by some controversy over a political endorsement he reportedly made at a durbar in the Volta region in February 2020.
