Supreme Court nominee Justice Senyo Dzamefe has expressed his opposition to proposals to increase the retirement age for Supreme Court and Court of Appeal judges from 70 to 75.
Justice Dzamefe believes the current retirement age should be maintained to ensure judges retire while still in good health, enabling them to continue contributing to the justice system in other meaningful ways.
During his vetting before Parliament's Appointments Committee on Monday, June 16, 2025, Justice Dzamefe stated firmly that he does not support raising the retirement age. "I will not agree to raising the retirement ages for Supreme Court or Appeal Court judges to 75.
No," he said.
