The government has denied allegations of political persecution against suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
Government spokesperson, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, insists that the judicial process follows constitutional requirements.
The rebuttal came during an emergency press conference at Jubilee House on Wednesday, directly responding to Justice Torkornoo's controversial public address barely an hour prior.
Kwakye Ofosu stressed that President John Mahama's decision to suspend the Chief Justice was based solely on established constitutional procedures, not political motives.
The government spokesperson directly addressed Justice Torkornoo's claims of unfair treatment during the investigation.
He explained that security protocols at Osu Castle were standard procedure for high-profile cases, not personal intimidation tactics.
Meanwhile, the suspended Chief Justice has declared she would not resign from office, framing her removal process as unconstitutional and politically motivated.
Addressing the press on Wednesday, June 25, she explained that "If I resign under these circumstances, I will be saying that this flawed, unknown and opaque possesses acceptable. It is not."
"Finally, let me respectfully say that the current bizarre proceedings that I have brought to your attention present a twist to our nation's democratic journey that we all ignore at our own cost."
