A group, consisting of the victims and families of victims of the Ejura killings has submitted a joint memorandum to petition the Appointments Committee of Parliament against confirming the nomination of Justice Kingsley Koomson to the Supreme Court of Ghana,
This is in connection with his role in the work of the Interministerial Committee that investigated the killings that occurred in Ejura in the Ashanti Region.
In a petition to Parliament, the group said, “We consider that Justice Kingsley Koomson lacks the necessary independence of thought, moral conviction and integrity that will support his nomination to the Supreme Court.”
“Justice Kingsley Koomson’s record with the Koomson Committee shows that he is not up to the task and that he had failed when he was entrusted with a national duty requiring that he show the necessary independence of thought, moral conviction and integrity that will support his nomination to the Supreme Court.”
“We invite the Appointments Committee and subsequently Parliament to reject the nomination of Justice Koomson to the Supreme Court,” the petition added.
