Minority won’t participate in what we consider an illegality – Annoh-Dompreh defends walkout

Minority Chief Whip in Parliament, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has defended the Minority’s decision to walk out of the vetting of three Supreme Court nominees, insisting that the caucus could not participate in a process it considers contrary to parliamentary practice and procedure.

He explained that the Minority’s objection was specifically about the procedure adopted for the Supreme Court nominees, particularly the decision to proceed with their vetting without the customary publication period that allows the public to submit memoranda.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Top Story on Thursday, August 27, Mr Annoh-Dompreh stressed that the Minority was not opposed to any of the five nominees currently before Parliament, including the three nominees for the Supreme Court.
