📝 Order 217 of the standing orders of Parliament offers a clear procedure for vetting Presidential nominees for appointment; any conduct outside the orders is contempt of #GhParliament

What we witnessed Thursday night at Appointments C'ttee is unfortunate & must be condemned.

Tribunals Bill, 2026 seeks to provide for establishment, jurisdiction, composition & operation of tribunals in accordance with the Constitution. The Bill establishes a Tribunal Oversight C'ttee ensuring it doesn't go overboard in administering justice.

There will be no minimum qualification for members appointed to serve on the panel of the tribunals. However, the Chief Justice is empowered under the Bill to determine the suitability of prospective panel members. The Bill gives room for empaneling of lawyers. #GhParliament

Regional & District tribunals would have jurisdiction over criminal matters mainly to relieve the traditional courts of part of their criminal caseload enabling them to devote greater attention to civil matters with the aim of improving justice delivery.

[Odekro @odekro]

While Dr. Ayine (MP, Bolgatanga East) acknowledged the concerns expressed over the reintroduction of tribunals in the legal system of Ghana, he further explained that Bill adopts a fundamentally different approach where tribunals are situated within the constitutional framework.
