The President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has appointed three Court of Appeal Justices to fill vacant positions in the Supreme Court.
The newly appointed justices are Justice Henry Anthony Cofie, Justice Yaw Asare Darko, and Justice Richard Agyei Frimpong.
The appointment, according to the President, follows the mandatory retirement of three Justices of the Apex Court earlier this year.
The First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joseph Osei-Owusu, on the floor of parliament on Friday, November 10, referred the appointment of the three justices to the Appointments Commitment of the House for consideration and report.
In April this year, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo swore two new Justices to the Supreme Court at the Jubilee House in Accra after being approved by the Appointments Commitment of Parliament.
The two Justices were Justice George Kingsley Koomson, a Justice of the Court of Appeal, and Justice Ernest Yao Gaewu, a Justice of the High Court.
Their appointment follows the retirements of Justice Clemence Honyenuga and Justice Agnes Dordzie from the apex court.
