President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has appointed four judges to the
Supreme Court.
They are; Justice Samuel K. Marful-Sau, Justice of Appeal, Justice Agnes M.
A. Dordzie, Justice of Appeal, Prof. Nii Ashie Kotey, former Dean, Faculty of
Law, University of Ghana, Legon, and Nene A. O. Amegatcher, Private legal
practitioner and former President of the Ghana Bar Association.
In a letter addressed to Parliament House, and read by the Speaker, Aaron
Mike Ocquaye, Nana Addo indicated that the nominations were made after
consultations with both the Judicial Council and the Council of State.
The nomination of the justices, the letter noted, is in accordance
with article 144 (2) of the 1992 constitution.
Upon receipt of the Judicial Council's advice, and in accordance with my
duty under Article 144 (2), I consulted with the Council of State by submitting
the names and curricula vitae of the nominees for appointment to the Supreme
Court.
The Council of State has notified my office that the consultation process
for the appointment of the nominees as Justices of the Supreme Court is now
complete.
"I am therefore, in accordance with Article 144 (2),
seeking the approval of Parliament for the appointment of the nominees as
Justices of the Supreme Court," the letter added.
