We Have Not Rejected Justice Koomson And Gaewu- Appointments Committee

After the screening of the Supreme Court nominees, members of the Appointments Committee of Parliament were unable to come to an agreement, and the future of two Justices chosen by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to the Supreme Court now hangs in the balance.

The Committee has, however, recommended the approval of Justice Barbara Frances Ackah-Yensu and Samuel Kwame Adibu Asiedu; raising questions about the fate of the other two.

In an interview on Eyewitness News, Deputy Ranking Member on the Committee, Muntaka Mubarak said the committee is yet to present its second report as it is yet to make a decision.“When we say we don’t have unanimity, especially on the case of the two, [it is because] on the day that we were taking the decision, the majority said no. They shouldn’t go to the Supreme Court, but that will be a recommendation to the House.

“The House will determine whether they agree with the Appointments Committee or disagrees with it. So at this stage, it’s very difficult to say you are rejecting or not, because whatever you bring remains a recommendation, the final decision is that of the House,” Muntaka explained.
