The Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, has written to President Akufo-Addo, asking him to nominate five judges to the Supreme Court.
The names of the judges that have been recommended for the nomination are the current judge presiding over the Ato Forson ambulance trial, Justice Afia Serwaa Asare Botchwey.
The four other judges are Justice Afia Asare Botwe, Justice Cyra Pamela Koranteng, Justice Edward Amoako Asante, Justice Eric Kyei Baffuour and Justice Angelina Mensah Homiah.
The letter dated May 30, 2024 read “Justice Asante’s term of office at the ECOWAS court ended on July 31, 2022, and was “requested to remain at post on account of the withdrawal of Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso from the community.”
It said “his current tenure is expected to end in 2026 or earlier when he is expected to return to Ghana’s Judiciary.”
