A Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, will be the Acting Chief Justice following the suspension of the Chief Justice, Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo.
Justice Baffoe-Bonnie, appointed to the Supreme Court bench in June 2008 by then President John Agyekum Kufuor, is the senior-most Justice on the Supreme Court.
His role as the acting Chief Justice is in line with Article 144(6) of the 1992 Constitution, which stipulates that the most senior Justice on the Supreme Court will act as Chief Justice if the position of Chief Justice becomes vacant or the substantive Chief Justice is unable to perform his or her functions.
