Don’t make further appointments to superior courts – NDC to Akufo-Addo

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has asked President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo not to make further appointments to the country’s superior courts.

This follows Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo’s recommendation of five judges to be nominated as Supreme Court Judges.

Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Thursday, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, General Secretary of the NDC said President Akufo-Addo had already packed the courts with too many loyalists of the NPP and there was no need to nominate more.

He added that there were enough judges on the bench to deal with judicial issues.
Mr Kwetey added that it was only fair that any such appointment with far-reaching implications on the country’s democracy was left for the next president.
