Appointments Committee Dismisses Petition Against Justice Ackaah‑Boafo, Cites Constitutional Immunity

Activist Anthony Kwabenya Rau filed a petition against Justice Kweku Tawiah Ackaah‑Boafo, alleging insult and misconduct during a 2019 case involving the DVLA and claiming he was “arrogant, power‑drunk, culturally insensitive” and politically compromised. Grounds for Dismissal On June 20, 2025, the Parliamentary Appointments Committee, chaired by Bernard Ahiafor, dismissed the petition as “frivolous, vexatious, worthless and unmeritorious,” branding it “a complete abuse of process”.

He applauded the Committee’s decision to uphold rule of law and prevent reputational attacks using weak allegations . Vetting Proceeds With the petition dismissed, the Committee […]
