Supreme Court nominees weren’t appointed to fill vacancies – Dafeamekpor
Majority Chief Whip in Parliament, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, has rejected claims that the accelerated vetting of three Supreme Court nominees is unjustified because there is currently no vacancy on the apex court.
The Majority Chief Whip also accused the Minority Leader of inconsistency, recalling that two Supreme Court nominees were approved under the previous administration, but their reports were allegedly not laid before Parliament for consideration.
His comments come amid a heated disagreement between the majority and minority over the pace of the vetting of the three Supreme Court nominees, with the minority insisting that the absence of a vacancy means there is no justification for rushing the process.
