The Ghana Bar Association thinks it's time to put a limit on how many Supreme Court justices Ghana can have at once.
The Association's public relations officer, Saviour Kudze, said in an interview with Citi News that "the way our constitution is today, if we don't put a ceiling on it, it would not benefit us."
Mr. Kudze stated that "it will depend on the work at hand" when referring to a potential cap on the number of judges.
"Many more cases are now being appealed, and since the Supreme Court is the highest and last appellate court, I believe that moving forward, we should examine it to see if you can have some ceiling."
It cannot be left in that condition, he said.
The association's comments come after the Minority in Parliament voiced reservations over the number of judges President Akufo-Addo appointed to the supreme court.
The Minority has expressed concern that, in light of the challenging economic climate, the increase in the number of justices from 11 to 14 has a propensity to deplete the state's resources.
Following their nomination to the Supreme Court, four judges underwent background checks.
The judges who were taken into account were Justice Ernest Yao Gaewu of the High Court, Justice George Kingsley Koomson of the Court of Appeal, Justice Samuel Kwame Adibu Asiedu of the Court of Appeal, and Justice Barbara Frances Ackah-Yensu of the Court of Appeal.
