Ghanaian lawyer and academic, Professor Stephen Kwaku Asare, has stated that the country does not need a large number of judges at the apex court to justify its expansion, but rather a Supreme Court composed of individuals with integrity, well-equipped, adequately resourced for the timely delivery of justice.
He also added that the country needs a Supreme Court with judges capable of operating independently and free from partisan influence. "We do not need a bloated Bench.
We need a credible, well-resourced, and independent SC," he wrote on Facebook on April 30, 2025, while reacting to President 's nomination of seven judges to the Supreme Court.
Kwaku Azar, as he is popularly known, emphasised some of these concerns, stating that the timing of the nominations is problematic.
