Picking Chief Justices nearing retirement could give Mahama immense power – Bentil

Lawyer and Vice-President of IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, says appointing Chief Justices close to retirement could give President John Mahama immense power by allowing him to choose successive heads of the judiciary.“I think ultimately the president will make a good choice because fortunately we have very good people over there, but he will make the choice.”“I think that to the extent that it is the president who picks, he will pick a choice that is comfortable for him.”
