The Appointments Committee of Parliament will today vet the Chief Justice nominee, Justice Paul Baffoe Bonnie, at the Committee Room of Parliament House in Accra.
The exercise, which is scheduled to start at exactly 11:00 a.m., marks a crucial step in the constitutional process toward confirming the next head of the Judiciary. It follows President John Dramani Mahama’s decision to remove Justice Gertrude Torkornoo from office.
According to a statement from Parliament, public interest in the vetting has been particularly high, given the pivotal role of the Chief Justice in shaping the nation’s legal and judicial direction.
However, the Director of Media Relations of Parliament, David Sebastian Damoah, has stated that attendance at the vetting will be strictly by invitation.
