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

Justice Haflsata Amaleboba
In a formal communication addressed to the Acting Chief Justice, His Lordship Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, the President expressed confidence in the credentials of the nominees and urged the Judicial Council to expedite consideration of their appointments.
“Attached are their Curricula Vitae. I trust that the Council will expedite action on their considerations,” the letter signed by the Secretary to the President, Callistus Mahama read in part.
Parliament’s vetting committee is expected to commence proceedings in the coming days once the nominations are formally laid before the House.
