The Paramount Chief of the Waala Traditional Area, Naa Fuseini Saidu Peluo IV and the Wa Central MP, Dr Abdul-Rashid Hassan Pelpuo, have jointly sent a congratulatory message to Supreme Court Justice nominee Yoni Kulendi.

The private legal practitioner is of the four persons who have been nominated by President Akufo-Addo to serve in the apex court.

The lawmaker who happens to be a prince to the Wa Naa’s palace posted words of praise on his Facebook wall on behalf of the chief of Wa.

“Wa Naa has asked me to add his voice of congratulations to you. Please go and provide honest and dedicated service to the judiciary and ultimately the people Ghana”.

Dr Pelpuo commended the renowned lawyer for his good conduct before he was vetted by Parliament's Appointment Committee on Tuesday.

“You absolved yourself very well at the vetting. The Upper West Region and Wa Central are proud of you. You are the first of a kind and we wish you very well.”

Yoni Kulendi is a managing practitioner of his law firm Kulendi at Law, a commercial, litigation, and constitutional law practice.
