LIVESTREAMED: Parliament vets Justice Anthony Forson Jnr

Justice Anthony Forson Jnr has appeared before Parliament’s Appointments Committee for vetting following his nomination to the Supreme Court by President John Dramani Mahama.

He is the only nominee from private legal practice and a former President of the Ghana Bar Association. He has been active in Ghana's legal profession for many years.

The nominations were made in consultation with the Judicial Council, in accordance with the provisions of the 1992 constitution, which requires the President to act in consultation with the Council before appointing Justices of the Supreme Court, subject to parliamentary approval.

His appearance before the committee is expected to focus on his judicial experience, knowledge of the law, professional record, understanding of constitutional principles, and his suitability to serve on the apex court.
