The committee, composed of eminent figures from the legal, military, academic, and public service sectors, will conduct a thorough inquiry into the allegations.

The committee, established under Article 146(6) of the Constitution, comprises the following individuals:
- Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang (Chairman) – A seasoned Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Pwamang brings extensive judicial expertise to the committee.
- Justice Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu – Another respected Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Adibu-Asiedu is known for his impartiality and commitment to upholding the rule of law.
- Daniel Yaw Domelevo – The former Auditor-General, renowned for his anti-corruption stance and rigorous approach to accountability, adds a layer of investigative rigor to the committee.
- Major Flora Bazwaanura Dalugo – Representing the Ghana Armed Forces, Major Dalugo brings a disciplined and structured perspective to the proceedings. Her military background underscores the committee’s emphasis on integrity and due process.
- Prof James Sefah Dzisah – An Associate Professor at the University of Ghana, Prof. Dzisah contributes academic insight and analytical depth to the committee.
The committee’s formation follows President Mahama’s determination that a prima facie case exists against the Chief Justice, warranting further investigation.

Spokesperson to the President and Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu confirmed the appointments on Tuesday, April 22.
