ADNews-Monrovia, Liberia: President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has nominated Associate Justice Yamie Quiqui Gbeisay to serve as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia, pending confirmation by the Liberian Senate.
The nomination, announced this week, is in accordance with Article 54(c) of the 1986 Constitution of Liberia, which empowers the President to appoint the Chief Justice, Associate Justices, and Judges of Subordinate Courts. It also aligns with Article 72(b) of the Constitution, which mandates the retirement of Justices upon reaching the age of seventy.
In a formal letter to Senator Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence, President Pro-Tempore of the Liberian Senate, President Boakai praised Justice Gbeisay as a “distinguished jurist [who] has demonstrated exemplary integrity, profound legal acumen, and commitment to upholding the rule of law and the Constitution.”
The President urged the Senate to “expeditiously consider and confirm this nomination.”
If confirmed, Justice Gbeisay’s appointment will mark a continuation of his long-standing service and unwavering dedication to Liberia’s judicial system.
