Retired Supreme Court judge, Justice William Atuguba, has praised the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of (MP) for Asante Akim North, , for his professionalism as a lawyer and impartiality.
According to Justice Atuguba, even though he is an ardent member of the NPP, the Asante Akim North legislator makes legal considerations and decisions devoid of political sentiment or influence.
The retired Supreme Court judge, who made these remarks during an interview on JoyNews on November 12, 2024, said that Appiah-Kubi and the late Anthony Akoto Ampaw, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's lawyer during the 2020 election petition, are the two politicians in the country he would have made Supreme Court justices if he could.
He added that these two men have taken positions on issues of national importance that do not align with the interests of their political party. "It's not everybody who has been involved in politics who can be necessarily politically minded.
