\n

The Minority National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Parliament has
\nmade a U-turn on the vetting of the President\u2019s nomination of Justice Kwasi Anin-Yeboah
\nas Chief Justice.<\/p>\n

They had said they were boycotting the mandatory vetting of the
\nChief Justice nominee after they claimed the time for the process was too
\nshort.<\/p>\n

However, the same political grouping turned around yesterday to say
\nthey were then prepared to get involved in the vetting.<\/p>\n

A yesterday statement signed by Minority
\nLeader Haruna Iddrisu said, \u201cThe Minority in Parliament wishes to bring to the
\nattention of the general public that following further consultations and an
\nintervention by the leadership of Parliament, we have today reached an
\nunderstanding that makes it possible to reconsider our position and commit to
\nparticipating in the vetting of the President\u2019s nominee for the high office of
\nChief Justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take note that the public vetting of Justice Anin-Yeboah shall
\nnow be held on Monday the 23rd of December, 2019 at 9 am,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhanaians can expect us to discharge our constitutional duty
\ndiligently and thoroughly, especially considering our high regard for the
\neminent office the nominee will be occupying as head of the judicial arm of government
\nif approved. As we have emphasized earlier, our position on this matter is
\nborne out of respect for our practice and processes without any prejudice
\nwhatsoever to the nominee in question,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Minority will continue to place first the larger interest of
\nGhana and insist on strict adherence to credible parliamentary democracy,\u201d the
\nNDC claimed.<\/p>\n

Date Cleared<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Parliament yesterday, the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament,
\nJoseph Osei-Owusu, confirmed the vetting would be done on Monday.<\/p>\n

Parliament had originally scheduled Friday, December 20, for the
\nvetting but the NDC Minority threatened to boycott the proceedings because they
\nthought the time for the vetting was too short to allow the committee to receive
\nmemoranda on the nominee from the public.<\/p>\n

Both the Minority and Majority later by consensus agreed to vet the
\nnominee on Monday, December 23, 2019 before Parliament rises for the Christmas
\nholidays.<\/p>\n

The vetting will take place early in the morning to enable the committee to prepare its report for the plenary to either approve or disapprove of the nominee before rising.<\/p>\n
