The Appointments Committee of Parliament is set to vet Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie today, Monday, November 10, 2025, following his nomination by President John Dramani Mahama for the position of Chief Justice.
The vetting, scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m., was confirmed in an official notice issued by David Sebastian Damoah, Director of Media Relations at Parliament.
Justice Baffoe-Bonnie’s nomination comes after the dismissal of Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, who had served as Chief Justice since 2023.

During the session, Members of Parliament are expected to assess Justice Baffoe-Bonnie’s legal experience, judicial philosophy, and proposed reforms for Ghana’s justice system before making a recommendation to the full House.
Meanwhile, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has rejected a motion filed by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who had called for the suspension of the vetting until court proceedings involving the former Chief Justice are concluded.
Mr. Afenyo-Markin argued that proceeding with the vetting could interfere with the ongoing judicial matters and potentially breach constitutional and procedural principles.
