President Akufo-Addo has nominated some four Appeal and High Court judges onto the Supreme Court bench.
The nomination was announced in Parliament by the Speaker of the House Alban Bagbin Tuesday.
The nominees are Justice Barbara Frances Ackah-Yensu, Justice George Kingsley Koomson, and Justice Samuel Kwame Adibu Asiedu, all from the Appeal court. The only High Court judge who made the list is Justice Ernest Yao Gaewu.
