Referral Of Justice Gertrude Araba Torkonoo's Nomination To The Appointments Committee

The nomination of Supreme Court Justice Gertrude Araba Torkonoo as Chief Justice has been referred to the appointments committee of Parliament by President Akufo-Addo.

The President proposed Justice Gertrude Araba Torkonoo as the new Chief Justice to replace Justice Anin Yeboah, who is retiring this month, in a letter to the Council of State last week.

First Deputy Speaker Joseph Osei-Owusu, after reading the president's message to the house, urged the appointments committee he heads to expedite the vetting of the new chief justice so as not to create a vacancy.
