Three new judges, Justice Henry Anthony Koffie, Justice Yaw Darko Asare, and Justice Richard Adjei-Frimpong, have been sworn in by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
He pleaded with them to uphold Ghana’s constitution and make sure their rulings advance the interests of the country.
Chief Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah, Jones Victor Mawulorm Dotse, and Nene Abayateye Ofoe Amegatcher’s retirements have left openings, which their appointment fills.
In compliance with Article 144(2) of the 1992 Constitution, this ceremony is the result of a careful nomination and confirmation procedure that was headed by the Judicial Council and approved by Parliament before being approved by the Council of State.
The President presented the justices with Warrants of Appointment decorated in the national colours after they had taken judicial and secrecy oaths and pledged loyalty at the Jubilee House in Accra.
Nana Addo highlighted the Supreme Court’s critical role in influencing choices that are vital to the nation’s socioeconomic progress.
