President John Dramani Mahama is preparing to exercise his constitutional authority by forwarding a list of 21 High Court judges to the Judicial Council for consideration and possible elevation to the Court of Appeal.
Among those nominated, reports highlight Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II, known within judicial circles as Justice Daniel Mensah. A figure of dual distinction, he commands reverence both as the Paramount Chief of the Dormaa Traditional Area and as a respected High Court judge.
Justice Mensah has been widely recognized for seamlessly balancing the responsibilities of chieftaincy with the rigors of the judiciary. His commitment to justice and consistent advocacy on national matters have earned him broad admiration across Ghana.
This latest judicial nomination exercise by President Mahama is grounded in Article 144(3) of the 1992 Constitution, which stipulates: “Justices of the Court of Appeal and of the High Court, as well as Chairmen of Regional Tribunals, shall be appointed by the President acting on the advice of the Judicial Council.”
If confirmed, the nominees will bolster the appellate bench and enhance the efficiency of Ghana’s justice delivery system.
