Member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) communications team, Beatrice Annan Esq., has urged Members of Parliament, particularly on the Minority side, to disregard their leader and allow the vetting of Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie to proceed.

According to her, there is no legitimate basis for the Minority’s resistance to the process.

Beatrice Annan said this while speaking on Metro TV and monitored by NewsDesksGH on November 10.

“I’ve seen that Afenyo-Markin has been making a lot of noise about this,” she said.

“I’ll encourage Members of Parliament from both sides, especially the NPP people, to disregard their leader and let the judiciary have a new leader.”

She noted that the Minority had not raised any questions about the Baffoe-Bonnie’s competence or integrity.

“Because there’s no basis. They haven’t said that he’s not a man of high moral character, he’s not competent, they haven’t raised any of these,” she said.

She then referenced a video of some MPs chanting “Follow due process” in Parliament on Friday, November 7.

“I would love to hear what due processes were breached. Otherwise, I don’t see any limitations,” she stated.

Beatrice Annan further wished the nominee well and encouraged him to pay equal attention to both the bench and the bar if approved.

“Normally they concentrate on the bench. We beg him this time he should also concentrate on the bar. There’s so much work to be done at the bar as well,” she said.

Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie’s vetting for the position of Chief Justice of Ghana is taking place today, November 10, 2025.

The Parliamentary Appointments Committee will proceed to question him despite objections raised by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who filed a motion to suspend the process, arguing it could interfere with ongoing court cases filed by former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.

Speaker Alban Bagbin dismissed the motion on Friday, November 7, a decision that was met with strong disagreement from the Minority side.
