Legal practitioner Kwaku Azar has provided counsel for the next Chief Justice after the President suspended the current chief justice to allow for a probe into petitions for her removal.
In a ten-point Facebook post, Kwaku Azar who petitioned president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for the removal of the Chief Justice advised that the new Chief Justice should know that he/she is not a presidential appointee-in-Chief.
Also, he advised against brokering of Supreme Court appointment saying "You have no constitutional role in selecting who joins the Supreme Court.
Recommending names directly to the President or negotiating appointments behind closed doors undermines the Judicial Council and breeds distrust.
