The usually rigorous vetting process for President John Mahama's Supreme Court judge nominees has taken an unexpected turn in Parliament, as the hearing for Court of Appeal Justice Kweku T.
Ackaah-Boafo has been postponed indefinitely.
The dramatic halt follows the eleventh-hour submission of a petition to Parliament's Appointments Committee, levelling serious allegations of judicial bias and misconduct against the esteemed nominee.
This unprecedented delay leaves Justice Ackaah-Boafo's elevation to Ghana's highest court, which typically comprises around 15 active Justices and frequently sits in panels of 5 to 9 judges, in immediate limbo.
