Parliament has unanimously approved the President’s Chief Justice nominee, Justice Anin Yeboah.
The approval by the legislators came after Deputy Speaker of the House, Joseph Osei Owusu, read the report of the Appointments Committee that unanimously approved the Supreme Court judge for the Chief Justice position.
Mr Justice Yeboah underwent almost a five-hour vetting from members of the Appointments Committee, answering questions pertaining to his career as a judge, adjudication of justice, judgement on the 2012 Presidential election petition, as Chairman of the Ethics Committee of FIFA, the proposal for the review of the Constitution and several areas.
Mr Osei Owusu, said the Committee observed that given his high standard of competence and integrity, forthrightness, astuteness and in-depth appreciation of the law he exhibited before the Committee and independence of thought, the nominee qualifies to serve as Chief Justice of the Republic.
His demeanour and composure during his vetting portray him as a calm and tolerant person.
