"The complaint against the nominee is about the exercise of judicial power in conducting the matter leading to the judgment under reference.
The committee, this morning, ruled that the petition is frivolous, facetious, worthless, unmeritorious and it is baseless in law and the facts.
A complete abuse of the process," he said.
Following the committee's decision, the vetting process of Justice Ackah-Boafo, previously suspended due to the petition, is now back underway for consideration and approval.
