Speaker Bagbin refers Mahama’s Supreme Court nominees to Appointments Committee

Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has referred President John Dramani Mahama's seven nominees for the Supreme Court to the Appointments Committee. This is in line with Article 144(2) of the 1992 Constitution.

- Justice Senyo Dzamefe
