‘You called it court packing under Akufo-Addo; what has changed?’  — Afenyo-Markin slams NDC gov’t over new SC justices

Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has accused the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) of abandoning its previous opposition to what it described as the “packing” of the Supreme Court following President John Dramani Mahama’s nomination of three additional justices.“Now, the numbers to the Supreme Court are far more than it would have been if Akufo-Addo's three additional nominees had been approved by Parliament.

According to him, the current composition of the court would be larger than it would have been had Parliament approved the three additional nominees proposed by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
