The Parliament of Ghana has dismissed a petition lodged against Supreme Court nominee Justice Kweku T Ackaah-Boafo, clearing the path for his long-awaited vetting before the Appointments Committee on Friday, June 20, 2025.
The petition, submitted by self-identified international human rights activist Anthony Kwabenya Rau, had temporarily stalled the vetting process amid a storm of allegations.
Rau accused the Court of Appeal judge of judicial bias, misconduct, and unprofessional behaviour, citing a courtroom incident at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) where he claimed the judge verbally attacked him and questioned his right to represent clients in Ghana.
Rau's complaint further labeled the nominee as "arrogant, biased, power-drunk, and an abuser of human rights," and suggested his confirmation would endanger both national and international interests.
