The Minority in Parliament has criticised Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, describing him as an intolerant head of the judiciary.
The statement follows what the Minority says were attacks on its members after they raised concerns over the processes surrounding Justice Baffoe-Bonnie’s appointment by the President.
Speaking to journalists on Monday, January 26, 2026, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin announced that the caucus would not participate in the Chief Justice’s scheduled engagement with the Speaker of Parliament.
“We have noted that the Chief Justice and his management are visiting various ministries, including 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 questioned.
Mr. 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.”
