Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has observed that senior- most justices of the Supreme Court were not empaneled by the Chief Justice to sit on the case of the vacant seat.
He questioned the decision of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo to leave out the senior-most justices. "Why were the senior-most judges left out?
Justice Baffoe Boney, Pwamang, why were they left out?…We have to check the powers of Chief Justice to empanel," he said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, November 16.
Kpebu further called for a review of how the justices of the apex court are appointed.
