The Appointments Committee of Parliament has rescheduled its vetting of two Supreme Court Judge nominees to August 13, 2024.
This comes after the committee suspended its sitting on Tuesday for a leadership engagement due to opposition to the vetting of Professor Richard Frimpong Oppong and Justice Sophia Bernasko Essah by the minority caucus on grounds of lack of advertisement and short notice.
The Vice Chairperson of the Appointments Committee, Patricia Appiagyei addressed journalists on the matter.
“This morning, we were billed to vet the 2 nominees from the presidency to the supreme court and, unfortunately, we didn’t have a good understanding of the procedures that we needed to adapt to ensure that we could make them successful.
“In the turn of events, we decided to suspend the sitting and after suspension…It’s a pleasure to mention that after conferring with each other, we’ve built consensus, and we have rescheduled the vetting date from today to 13th August 2024.
“We believe that on that day when we invite you, you are all going to be present,” he stated
