The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSSAG) wants the President to consult it before nominating a new Chief Justice, although that is not a constitutional requirement.<\/p>\n

The President of JUSSAG\u00a0Alex Nartey, in an interview on Eyewitness News<\/strong>, said his Association\u2019s input in the matter is not to be taken for granted, given the role of judicial staff in the work of the Chief Justice.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”vzmHUxdAINvtLpjKTUabU4SHvLZPYRW1″]JUSSAG\u2019s appeals come despite the absence of any constitutional precedent requiring that the judicial staff be consulted ahead of the nomination of a Chief Justice.<\/p>\n

But according to Mr. Nartey, JUSSAG is one of \u201cthe major stakeholders of the judicial service, and in view of the fact that we work with the judges and in view of the fact the work of the Chief Justice is about 90 percent management and administrative, and since the workers are involved in administration and we know what it takes in managing an organization such as the judicial service, we think that our input in settling on who becomes the Chief Justice is very critical and inevitable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The JUSSAG President further noted that, their possible involvement in the nomination will not be out of the ordinary because \u201cconsultations, since the Chief Justice\u2019s office came into being, have been held anytime the office needs to be filled.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the event JUSSAG is\u00a0left out of the process, Mr. Nartey assured that, his staff would not undermine the work of the new Chief Justice \u201cbut it will be a major help to the organisation and the nation as a whole [if JUSSAG is involved].\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Chief<\/a>
Chief Justice, Georgina Theodora Wood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The position of Chief Justice is expected to become vacant n June when Ghana’s longest serving Chief Justice, Georgina Theodora Wood, retires.<\/p>\n

Media speculation suggests that Justice Anin Yeboah, Justice Sophia Akuffo and Justice Jones Dotse are\u00a0the front-runners for the position.<\/p>\n

But Justice Anin Yeboah is essentially out of contention following his election<\/a><\/strong><\/span> as the Chairman of FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee. As a result, \u00a0Justice Sophia Akuffo is highly tipped for the top job.<\/p>\n
