Parliament members will question a Supreme Court candidate today after clearing up complaints against him. Justice Kwaku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo faces the committee following a temporary stop caused by accusations from Anthony Kwabenya Rau. Rau claimed the judge insulted him during a court case and called him arrogant and power hungry. The nominee says these claims are false and the matter has been resolved for the process to continue. Justice Ackaah-Boafo represents the final candidate among seven judges that former President Mahama picked for promotion.
The committee will finish reviewing all nominees after today's session. These judges would move up from the Court of Appeal to serve on the country's highest court. Parliament suspended the vetting when Rau submitted his petition about the judge's behavior. Committee members reviewed the complaint and decided to move forward with questioning the nominee.
The appointments panel will write a report about all seven candidates once the vetting ends. Parliament will vote on whether to approve or reject each nominee based on the committee's recommendations. Today's hearing completes the evaluation process for Mahama's Supreme Court selections. The full House will make the final decision on these judicial appointments.
