Arthur Kobina Kennedy
Dr. Arthur Kobina Kennedy has opposed the Chief Justice's request for President Akufo-Addo to nominate five new justices to the Supreme Court.
Kennedy raised concerns about the timing of this request, especially as Ghana is approaching a general election.
Dr. Kennedy believes that the Supreme Court requires substantial reforms rather than an increase in the number of justices, and suggests that Parliament should legislate a cap on the number of justices to be appointed to the apex court.
He also underscored concerns about the potential implications and optics of such a move close to an election.
Additionally, the NDC has alleged collusion between President Akufo-Addo and the Chief Justice to shield current government officials from accountability after their term ends.
