Parliament stopped checking a Supreme Court judge candidate after someone complained about him. Justice Kwaku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo was supposed to meet with lawmakers on Wednesday but the session got canceled. He works as a Court of Appeal judge and President John Dramwhile Mahama picked him for the highest court. The Appointments Committee received a petition that questioned his fitness for the job. Officials decided to review the complaint before moving forward with his approval process.
Committee members have not shared what the petition says about Justice Ackaah-Boafo. Parliamentary sources say the concerns are serious enough to delay his hearing. Six other Supreme Court nominees have already gone through the vetting process successfully. The committee wants to be fair and careful before questioning the judge about his qualifications. His appointment will stay frozen until lawmakers finish studying the petition and decide what to do next.
