Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, the National Coordinator for the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) has stated President John Dramani Mahama’s seven new Justices to the Supreme Court are not partisan.
According to Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, the new Justices are non-partisan and a step toward restoring confidence in the judiciary.
President John Dramani Mahama nominated seven new judges to the Supreme Court.
The nominations announced by the Office of the President were made in accordance with Article 144 (2) of the 1992 Constitution, and are subject to approval by Parliament.
The nominees are:
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
Justice Hafisata Amaleboba
Speaking on Channel One TV on May 1, Vanderpuye stated, “No one can stand anywhere and say that these people have in one way or the other appeared in a political colour, appeared on any political platform. Have said things that justify their political leanings. These are the people when you nominate or propose it becomes acceptable to all. And I think that is the way we have to build our judicial system.
“Because one of the key issues is perception about the judiciary, and you and I will agree that, constantly, in the Afrobarometer report, we have seen the credibility and integrity of the judiciary going down. It’s because of the perception people have,” he said.
He added, “We needed to sanitise the system. And that is why I expect that we’ll have some commendations for President Mahama for being able to choose these people who other people will not have any adverse findings of any perception about. And rather have confidence that these people, when they go to the Supreme Court, will be able to advance the course of justice”
