Accra, Ghana - 14 June, 2025 - Ghana's Parliament is set to scrutinize President John Dramani Mahama's nominees for the Supreme Court in a crucial vetting process starting on June 16, 2025.

The Appointments Committee will grill seven Justices of the Court of Appeal who have been nominated for elevation to the nation's highest court.

The nominees, who were selected in accordance with Article 144 (2) of the 1992 Constitution, are expected to face tough questioning on their qualifications, experience, and judicial philosophy. The vetting process, which will take place over three days, will assess their suitability for the role and determine whether they possess the necessary credentials to serve on the Supreme Court.

The nominees include Justice Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei, Justice Gbiel Simon Suurbaareh, Justice Senyo Dzamefe, Justice Kweku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo, Justice Philip Bright Mensah, Justice Janapare Bartels-Kodwo, and Justice Hafisata Amaleboba. If approved, they will join the Supreme Court, strengthening the judiciary and playing a critical role in shaping the country's legal landscape.

The vetting process is a key step in ensuring that only the most qualified and capable individuals are appointed to the Supreme Court.
