The
Majority
Alexander
Afenyo-Markin
has
said
that
the
decision
of
the
Chief
Justice
of
the
Republic
of
Ghana,
Gertrude
Torkornoo
to
recommend
five
Justices
for
appointment
to
the
Supreme
Court
comes
on
the
back
of
multiple
cases
the
Supreme
Court
is
always
saddled
with.

He
explained
that
Ghana’s
Supreme
Court
is
not
being
packed
as
others
would
want
us
to
believe.

“It
is
instructive
to
note
that,
since
independence,
we
have
allowed
institutions
to
grow.
Even
before
2019,
Ghana
had
only
Ten
Regions.
As
we
speak,
we
have
an
additional
six
making
it
sixteen,”
he
said
at
a
press
conference
in
Parliament
on
Monday,
July
8.
