‘I’m a fulfilled man’—Justice Korbieh on missing out on Supreme Court despite two nominations

Retired Court of Appeal judge Justice Francis Gyafiiry Korbieh says he was nominated for appointment to the Supreme Court on two occasions but could not make it to the apex court because, in his view, the required processes were not followed.

His career took him from legal practice to Parliament and eventually the Court of Appeal, where he served until his retirement in 2020.

Despite missing out on the highest court, the veteran lawyer says he considers his career in the legal profession and the judiciary fulfilling, accepting that he may not have achieved every ambition but remains grateful for the opportunity to serve.
