Addressing parliament during the approval process, the Minority leader Haruna Iddrisu declared their acceptance of Justice Akuffo saying “we strongly support the president’s nominee and that she is competent to work in that office.”
He, however, added that Akuffo was evasive with some of the questions she was asked by members of the Appointment Committee of Parliament during her vetting Friday June 16, 2017.
