The Minority in Ghana’s Parliament has announced it will boycott Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie’s scheduled visit to the legislature, describing him as an intolerant head of the judiciary.
The announcement followed what the Minority described as attacks on its members for raising concerns about the processes surrounding Justice Baffoe-Bonnie’s appointment by the President.
Addressing journalists on Monday, January 26, 2026, Minority Leader and MP for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, said the group would not participate in the Chief Justice’s engagement with the Speaker of Parliament.
“We have noted that the Chief Justice and his management are visiting various ministries, including the Jubilee House. Is he on a Thank You Tour? Is my Lord Baffoe-Bonnie on a tour appreciating the government for his appointment as Chief Justice?” he asked.
Afenyo-Markin added, “As he heads to Parliament today, we, as the Minority, do not see him as a tolerant head of the judiciary. Members of the Minority came under attack when we criticised the processes leading to his nomination.
“We will therefore not be part of his Thank You Tour. If he wants to engage with us, he should come to our offices, and we will outline the issues we have with him.”
