The Parliament’s Appointments Committee is set to begin vetting President John Dramani Mahama’s nominees for the Supreme Court from Monday, June 17 to Wednesday, June 19, 2025.
The President has nominated seven Justices of the Court of Appeal for elevation to the nation’s highest court, in line with Article 144 (2) of the 1992 Constitution.
The seven nominees are:
1. Justice Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei
2. Justice Gbiel Simon Suurbaareh
3. Justice Senyo Dzamefe
4. Justice Kweku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo
5. Justice Philip Bright Mensah
6. Justice Janapare Bartels-Kodwo
7. Justice Hafisata Amaleboba
The vetting process will assess the nominees’ qualifications, experience, and judicial philosophy to determine their suitability for the role. The proceedings are expected to generate public interest as Parliament reviews the nominees’ credentials before final approval.
Once approved, the appointments will strengthen the judiciary, Ghana’s third arm of government, and ensure the Supreme Court is fully functional. The nominees will bring their expertise and experience to the highest court, contributing to the development of the country’s jurisprudence.
The vetting process is a crucial step in ensuring that the nominees are fit for the role. The public is keenly watching the proceedings, and the outcome will have significant implications for the judiciary and the country as a whole.
