The Minority in Parliament wishes to bring to the attention of the general public that following further consultations and an intervention by the leadership of Parliament; they have today reached an understanding that makes it possible to reconsider our position and commit to participating in the vetting of the President’s nominee for the high office of Chief Justice.

We take note that the public vetting of Justice Anin Yeboah shall now be held on Monday the 23rd of December, 2019 at 9am.

Ghanaians can expect us to discharge our constitutional duty diligently and thoroughly especially considering our high regard for the eminent office the nominee will be occupying as head of the judicial arm of government if approved.

As we have emphasized earlier, our position on this matter is borne out of respect for our practice and processes without any prejudice whatsoever to the nominee in question.

The Minority will continue to place first the larger interest of Ghana and insist on strict adherence to credible parliamentary democracy.
