    It will be in John Dramani Mahama's interest to add that position to his job.His wife Lordina could assist him to manage it.That will make Mahama secure to do his job.

  • Karikakchar 3 months ago

    One thing is clear, anyone serving in the position of CJ henceforth should be ready to step down as soon as a new government comes to power. It's so easy fir the president to remove the CJ with any frivolous excuses if he do ...

  • Batuta 3 months ago

    With Baffoe-Bonnie as CJ, Ghana's Judiciary will be the most useless institution of governance in the World. He has zero integrity.

  • Nana 3 months ago

    Will it be the same tainted and disgraceful Council State that will advise John Mahama who to appoint as our CJ ? We better scrap that position and make the NDC Chairman the CJ.

  • Mozzay 3 months ago

    @Nana kwasia, you are slowly dying from pain but you don't realize it

  • Atta 3 months ago

    @ Mozzay you lack basic wisdom just like those who sacked the former CJ. John Mahama don't feel secure to perform his duties. The best advice is he shd appoint Asiedu Nketia or Ibrahim Mahama to that position.

  • Abion Ndowa 3 months ago

    Is it an honor or shameful to be tugged "NDC Chief Justice"? Per the NDC and Mahama's proclamation, the next CJ is a dye-in-the-wool NDC.
