The Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo has asked President Akufo-Addo to nominate five judges to the Supreme Court.
Among them is Justice Afia Serwaa Asare Botwe, the current judge presiding over the Ato Forson ambulance procurement trial.
The four other judges are Justice Cyra Pamela Koranteng, Justice Edward Amoako Asante, Justice Eric Kyei Baffuour and Justice Angelina Mensah Homiah.
In a May 30 letter, the Chief Justice told the President that "Justice Asante's term of office at the ECOWAS court ended on July 31, 2022, and was "requested to remain at post on account of the withdrawal of Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso from the community."
She added that "his current tenure is expected to end in 2026 or earlier when he is expected to return to Ghana's Judiciary."
