Ghana cannot wait for a substantive Chief Justice when some parliamentarians mistake politics for performance

November 11, 2025 2

Congratulations, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, you’ve done it! Not only have you been nominated as Ghana’s Chief Justice, but you’ve also survived what might be the longest and most theatrical vetting session in parliamentary history. While others were trading verbal punches and quoting the Constitution like scripture, you sat through it all with the patience of Job and the silence of a monk. If resilience were a legal qualification, you’d already be Chief Justice for life.
