Supreme Court nominee, Justice Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei, has firmly stated that his religious beliefs will not influence his rulings on the bench, especially in matters as sensitive as same-sex relationships.
Speaking before Parliament's Appointments Committee on Monday, June 16, Justice Adjei emphasized his commitment to judicial impartiality and the responsibilities of the oath he has taken as a judge. "We've talked about our faith; it could be Christian faith, Muslim faith; it is your faith.
But when you are in the courtroom, you have taken the judicial oath to be impartial, irrespective of the persons involved," he said.
Justice Adjei was responding to concerns about how judges handle socially and religiously divisive issues.
