Former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo has dismissed political insinuations surrounding her appointment to the 9th Council of State of the 4th Republic by President .
She argued that criticisms of her appointment based on her previous appointment by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo are unfounded.
The former Chief Justice expressed concern over the excessive politicization of issues in Ghanaian society.
She noted that those claiming she was appointed as Chief Justice by a New Patriotic Party (NPP) government conveniently ignore the fact that she was first appointed to the Supreme Court when the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was in power. "Unfortunately and I use the word unfortunately very advisedly and with a lot of personal sorrow, we've become so embroiled in partisanship that we read politics into everything. "I became a judge of the Supreme Court under an NDC government.
