On President Akufo-Addo facebook wall, he wrote: “On Tuesday, 17th December, 2019, I swore into office 34 Justices of the High Court and 11 Justices of the Court of Appeal, the first time, in the 4th Republican dispensation, that such a substantial number of judges are being appointed at the same time.

They have been considered eminently fit and qualified for the position of Justices of the High Court and Court of Appeal, and are deemed to have the independence of mind and impartiality of spirit to hold these high offices.

Out of the 34 Justices of the High Court, there are 22 women and 12 men; and out of the 11 Justices of the Court of Appeal, there are five 5 women and 6 men. I am very pleased to see such high numbers of female justices in our Superior Courts. I congratulate each one of the forty-five (45) new Justices on their appointment”.
