The Minority in Parliament on the Appointments Committee over lack of consultation over the vetting of some judges nominated by President Akufo-Addo to the Supreme Court.

The Minority said there was no decision to vet the nominees today as the Speaker and his two deputies would not be available due to parliamentary businesses they had to take care of.

Deputy Majority Leader, Patricia Appiagyei, is said to have written to the nominees, informing them of their vetting.

"You unilaterally wrote a letter to the nominees inviting them for vetting without the approval of the Appointments Committee," Dr Ato Forson, the Minority Leader said.

Despite the letter dated Wednesday, July 31, for the vetting which was not approved, the date for vetting was later altered to today, Tuesday, July 30.

The Minority MPs have expressed their readiness to prevent the vetting from taking place until the right processes are followed.

President Akufo-Addo has nominated two new judges to the Supreme Court bench following their approval by the Judicial Council.

The two 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.

When the two new nominees are approved by parliament, the current number of justices at the Supreme Court will increase to 17.
