The Appointments Committee of Parliament has commenced the vetting of the seven nominees nominated by President John Dramani Mahama to sit on the Supreme Court bench.

The seven nominees are Justices Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei, Gbiel Simon Suurbaareh, Senyo Dzamefe, Kweku Tawiah Ackah-Boafo, Philip Bright Mensah, Janpere Bartels-Kodwo and Hafisata Ameleboba.

They were nominated by President Mahama in accordance with Article 144(2) of the 1992 Constitution.

The first to take the seat is a Court of Appeal judge, Senyo Dzamefe, who's said to be the current longest-serving judge in the country.

Justice Dzamefe was appointed in 2012 by then-President John Mahama as the sole commissioner for the Commission of Inquiry that looked into Ghana’s participation in the Brazil 2014 World Cup.
