The Minister nominee for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has stated that his comments directed at the Chief Justice over the delay in hearing a case on the anti-LGBTQ Bill were made in good faith.
According to him, the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo deliberately delayed the anti-LGBTQ Bill suit that was before the Supreme Court, which sought to prevent former President Akufo-Addo from assenting to it.
He said this during his vetting by the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Thursday, January 30, 2025.
