The president, Nana Akufo-Addo, has nominated Supreme Court judge, Justice Anin Yeboah, as the new Chief Justice of Ghana.

The president has forwarded the name of Justice Yeboah to Parliament, as required by Article 144 (1) of the 1992 Constitution.

The First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joe Osei Owusu, announced the President’s nominee in the House on Thursday, with the Justice Yeboah expected to face the Appointments Committee soon.

Joe Osei Owusu also read a speech on behalf of President Akufo-Addo who says he is fully confident in Justice Anin Yeboah’s capacity to ’eminently’ occupy the office of Ghana’s Chief Justice.

The President also disclosed that he consulted the Council of Elders prior to the nomination of Justice Anin Yeboah.

“In order to avoid a vacuum in the office of the Chief Justice following her retirement, I decided to initiate the processes for the appointment of her successor. To that end, a letter dated 2nd December 2018, pursuant to Article 1441 of the Constitution, I consulted with the Council of State on my nominee, Mr. Justice Anin Yeboah, who has been at the Supreme Court for the last 11 years and 5 years on the Court of Appeal prior to that, to succeed Chief Justice Akuffo.”

Thus, in accordance to article 1441 of the constitution, I write to inform you that I have nominated Justice Anin Yeboah for approval by parliament as the next Chief Justice. I’m fully satisfied that Justice Anin Yeboah is qualified and eminently fit to occupy the office of Chief Justice.”
