Ghana’s judiciary is poised for a major boost today, Thursday, July 3, as seven newly confirmed Justices of the Supreme Court are scheduled to be sworn into office at a formal ceremony at the Jubilee House.
The occasion, to be presided over by President John Dramani Mahama, is expected to reinforce the highest court’s capacity at a critical time in the nation’s legal and democratic journey.
The appointments, made in line with Article 144 of the 1992 Constitution, received parliamentary approval following a thorough vetting process earlier this year.
The confirmed judges, most of whom have served at the Court of Appeal, bring with them years of legal experience and are seen as key additions to Ghana’s judicial architecture.
Their swearing-in comes amid growing demands on the Supreme Court, with pending matters ranging from constitutional disputes to electoral petitions and intricate civil and criminal appeals.
The inclusion of these seven legal minds is expected to enhance the court’s efficiency and deepen the delivery of justice.
The list of new Justices includes respected names such as Justice Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei, Justice Gbiel Simon Suurbaareh, Justice Senyo Dzamefe, Justice Kweku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo, Justice Philip Bright Mensah, Justice Janapare Bartels-Kodwo, and Justice Hafisata Amaleboba.
