A five-member committee established by President John Mahama is set to commence hearings today, Thursday, 15th May, to probe three petitions filed against the Chief Justice.
The committee, chaired by Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, was constituted in accordance with Article 146(6) of the 1992 Constitution.
Its establishment followed a determination of a prima facie case against the Chief Justice and was undertaken in consultation with the Council of State.
The committee is expected to convene three times a week and, upon the completion of its work, present its findings and recommendations to the President.
Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo is currently under investigation following five separate petitions alleging misconduct.
In response, President Mahama, after seeking advice from the Council of State, suspended Justice Torkornoo and set up a five-member panel to conduct a detailed inquiry into the allegations.
