Justice Dotse gets the job in my book. His memorable phrase I believe amptly summed up Mahama's government and contributed in no small way to its defeat. He should be the next Chief Justice

Your article is spot on but Justice Dotse doesn't need to be an Ewe before he is given this position. He is qualified, competent, fair, fearless, knowledgeable and will uphold the rule of law. There is no one on the bench right now that is more qualified with integrity than this wonderful person. Our country will be safe if he is given the nod.

This is a point at which we shall see if Akufo Addo is truly President for all Ghanaians.
Let's see who is appointed bearing in Mind that NPP like appointing from Ashanties and Akans for key positions.

Please Stop this Ashanti and Akans afterall is this same Ashanties and Akans that voted for him massively and not Ewes. The current CJ is a GA , when she was appointed the then speaker was a GA . Ashanties have endured name calling and insults from even Attah Mills. He reduced the Six Lane road of Abuakwa to Sofo line and yet this road was still not done . He didn't know that people of B/A and Western Region were also beening affected. Evil That Men Do

Raymond Acquah,

What a complete idiot you are.

Do you think that an intelligent man like the learned Mr Justice Jones Dotse would accept an appointment as Chief Justice on the basis of the shallow ethnic considerations you have put forward?
Or the poarty political affginities you allege?

If you think you are doing Mr Dotse a favour by appearing to canvass for him to get the job of CJ, then you are an even greater fool.

Akufo-Addo has been at the Ghana Bar for forty uyears or more. His father was Chief Justice. His father was also President. The man knows the Ghanaian Establishment inside out. He will use his own knowledge and criteria to put forward a candidate for appointment. Even then, he will need the support of the Council of State and Parliament.

If he should be so unwary as to use the criteria an ignoramus like you have stipulated, he will fail.

So, silly ass, go and find yourself something better to do than interfere in matters betterleft to more intelligent people than you!

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.(+233547122212)

The man is qualified beyond measure and his appointment should be base on his competence and not tribe,nobody should link him to the npp because his rulings on most national matters is base on the facts before him,nobody has been able to prove him legally wrong on his rulings.The create loot and share coin was truly the case,no matter how you hate it,in his estimation in on the minds of many Ghanaians that's what it was.Therefore we should wait for the president who is an officer of the court and knows this set of judges too well to choose the best person for the job again the president has a lot of experience lawyers who can help him settle on one of this astute judges without any difficulty atall.We can trust the npp when it comes to search appointments,a very good example is the outgoing CJ who against all odds has distinguished herself at the job,she stood up to all the vilifications and threats from elements of the ndc to finish her term as Chief Justice.

This writer up is lazy, unintelligent and shallow work absolutely no research.

According to you, the main reasons why Justice Dotse should be appointed as CJ are that:
1.he coined create loot and share,
2. He had been accused of being NPP
3. He asked people top emulate Akufo Addo
4. to give fake respect to the people of the Volta region

If I were justice Dotse's I would be so pissed at you for discounting my intelligence and contribution to general legal development in this country and reducing me to a party lackey. nonsense.

In the midst of this speculation no one has mentioned Justice Atukuba. Why? Is he already on retirement? Otherwise, if the President is looking experience and competency, Justice Atukuba is another fine gentleman.
