A former Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Diana Asonaba Dapaah, has expressed dissatisfaction with the prima facie case established against the Chief Justice, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, following petitions submitted to the President seeking her removal from office.
While discussing one of the petitions, she argued that the petitioner raised concerns about a case allegedly mishandled by the Chief Justice.
However, she pointed out that other judges also sat on the case, questioning why the petitioner is calling for the removal of only the Chief Justice and not the other three judges who heard the case.
Last week, President John Mahama suspended the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo following the establishment of a committee to investigate petitions seeking her removal over alleged misconduct.
The move, announced in a statement from the Presidency, complies with constitutional provisions and follows consultations with the Council of State.
