The Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, is a creation of the Legislature, i.e. the National Assembly. The Composition of the Tribunal is stated in paragraph 15(1) of Part 1, Fifth Schedule of the 1999 Constitution. It shall consist of a Chairman and two members.

Justice A.G Karibi-Whyte
The expression “shall” is mandatory. The qualification of the Chairman is prescribed. Although by paragraph 15(3) the Chairman and the members shall be appointed by the President in accordance with the recommendation of the National Judicial Council, the qualifications of the other two members are not prescribed. It is however unarguable that there shall be three members to constitute the Tribunal.
Additionalpower
In sub-paragraph (4) of Paragraph 15, the National Assembly is empowered by law to confer on the Code of Conduct Tribunal such additional powers as may appear to it to be necessary to enable it more effective to discharge the functions conferred on it in this Schedule.
