The four, Clemence Jackson Honyenuga and Issifu Omoro Tanko Amadu, Court of Appeal Judges, Emmanuel Yonny Kulendi, private legal practitioner and Professor Henrietta Mensah-Bonsu, last week endured an average of three hours of vetting at the Joseph Osei-Owusu chaired Appointments Committee where their suitability to the apex court was scrutinised.

"The Committee is satisfied that the nominees have exhibited character, competence, independent thinking and depth of knowledge of the law," Mr Osei-Owusu, Member for Bekwai told the House.

"The committee accordingly finds the nominees suitable to be appointed to the Supreme Court of Ghana," he urged the House.

On Mr Kulendi, the Tamale South MP said the nominee has endeared himself to many in private legal practice, and "we, therefore, recommend his approval as a Justice of the Supreme Court."

He was happy that after some misunderstanding which threatened the unanimous approval of Justice Honyenuga, the committee had come to a consensus that character, competence, independence of thought and depth of the knowledge of law should be the marking scheme for the nominees.
