The swearing-in ceremony of new Justices of the High Court by President John Dramani Mahama is currently underway.
These 37 approved Judges will join the High Court Bench which is the superior court with original jurisdiction in both civil and criminal matters.
The High Court is the third highest court in Ghana’s judicial hierarchy and has supervisory jurisdiction over all lower courts.
The appointments are expected to strengthen the judiciary’s ability to handle its increasing caseload, particularly in preparation for important constitutional and electoral matters.
The swearing-in follows thorough vetting and approval by the Appointments Committee of Parliament.
