Akufo-Addo nominates 2 Judges for Supreme Court

The two nominees are expected to be vetted by Ghana’s Parliament.

The President’s nominees are Professor Richard Frimpong Oppong, a legal academic and fellow of the Ghana Academy of Sciences, and Justice Sophia Rosetta Bernasko Essah, a justice of the Court of Appeal.

The nomination comes after the Chief Justice, in a letter, gave reasons why the country needs more Supreme Court justices.

Her letter has been condemned by many as going contrary to what is supposed to be the right way of getting things done.
