Parliament is currently debating the report of the Appointments Committee on the Chief Justice nominee, Gertrude Torkonoo.
This comes after the Minority in Parliament announced its intention to approve her nomination after initially suspending its consensus approval pending the full judgment of the Supreme Court on the dual citizenship case involving James Gyakye Quayson, the former Member of Parliament for Assin North.
With the full judgement of the apex court being made available to them, the NDC MPs even though disagreed with the ruling said they will not withhold their approval of the Chief Justice nominee.
The House is therefore debating the approval which was presented by the Chairman of the Appointments Committee who also doubles as the First Deputy Speaker, Joe Osei-Owusu.
