Parliament is preparing to conduct a public hearing vetting for nominees selected by the President to fill vacant positions on the Supreme Court bench.

The President nominated three justices currently serving on the Court of Appeal for elevation to the Supreme Court. The nominees are Henry Anthony Kwofie, Yaw Darko Asare, and Richard Adjei-Frimpong.

The Appointments Committee, chaired by the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joseph Osei Owusu, will oversee the vetting process and present a report to the plenary for consideration.

The President stressed the importance of promptly filling the vacancies caused by the retirement of some members on the bench in a letter dated October 11, 2023.
