    with 21 SC Justices? Paying their cooks, garden boys watchmen, maids, drivers and the likes? C'mon man.

    Woow 21 SC judges? That'snot funny at all!

  • Game Changer +447935009178 1 month ago

    I critique Akufo Addo for appointing too many justices to the apex court and to be talking about 21 today is on the high side. I suspect JM will want to balance those numbers appointed by Akufo Addo.

    Oh Africa, what at all is wrong with us? Why the need for so many judges for a country like Ghana. We Blacks are indeed the cursed tribe. That's why we've remained where we are since creation.

    Surely the got to be maximum number of Justices at the apex court. If confirmed, that will make it 20 Justices as CJ will be retiring this year. And 20 should be it till another retirement.

  • AKUFO-ADDO AND KUFUOR WOULD NEVER MAKE SUCH NOMINATIONS WITHOUT AKAN NOMINEES. WHY CAN'T MAHAMA FOLLOW SUIT BY NOMINATING HIS FELLOW NORTHENERS? 1 month ago

    AKUFO-ADDO, KUFUOR AND ATTA-MILLS WOULD NEVER MAKE SUCH APEX COURT NOMINATIONS WITHOUT AKAN NOMINEES.

    WHY CAN'T MAHAMA FOLLOW SUIT BY NOMINATING HIS FELLOW NORTHENERS? WHAT'S WRONG WITH MAHAMA'S BRAIN?

    You're focusing too much on the cost without considering the potential benefits. Any meaningful assessment should weigh both. Only then can you determine whether appointing three additional Supreme Court justices is a justifi ...

    What benefits? UK has 12, Canada & US have 9. A small country like Ghana with 33 million population with 22 SC Justices & you see nothing wrong with that?

    The nonsense continues

    A small country like Ghana has 21 supreme court justices, all with juicy pay and benefits packages (housing, cars, etc), adding a severe strain to the nation's coffers. And we wonder why the country ...

    That is a very poor comparison
    The state Supreme courts in the US do not handle federal cases. They handle local cases at the state level, and are financed by the individual states.

  • Nobody knows Tomorrow 1 month ago

    Akuffo Addo came to meet 9 supreme court justices.
    When he was leaving it was 18 , what did you say about that.
    Most of the judges will be retiring soon,so those appointments is just a replacement

  • Nanaba1 1 month ago

    Please make your checks well#! Nana Addo did not make it to 18 back it is mahama who added to 18 last year.

    Mahama too can do things. How could you nominate an accused tapist and adulterer as a judge of the supreme court? Anthony Forson Jr is has an active rape investigations against him in another country.

  • OZYMANDIAS 1 month ago

    Tony Forson? The alleged rapist of a female law student in Canada? I rest my case.

  • Packing the court will not serve your agenda 1 month ago

    Mahama thinks packing the court with his NDC Party people will enable him perpetuate his 3rd term agenda. Try any nonsense, and you will be rightfully overthrown
