This makes Justice Yeboah the first male Chief Justice to be appointed in 12 years.
This was announced in parliament today by the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mr. Joe Osei.
He will be Ghana’s 26th Chief Justice since 1876.
Justice Anin Yeboah is currently the fourth longest-serving Justice of the Supreme Court.
He graduated from the Ghana School of Law in 198 and he was appointed to the Supreme Court by President John Agyekum Kufuor in June 2008.
