The Centre for Democratic Movement (CDM) has strongly criticised the removal of the Chief Justice, describing it as an attack on judicial independence and a dangerous precedent for Ghana’s constitutional democracy.
In its assessment of President John Dramani Mahama's first year in office, CDM said the Judiciary is a co-equal arm of government and must not be subjected to executive interference under any circumstances.
“The Judiciary is not a subordinate institution. Any action that undermines its independence weakens public confidence in justice delivery,” the group stated.
CDM also linked the development to broader concerns about governance, rule of law, and rising insecurity, including the prolonged conflict in Bawku and increasing violent crime nationwide.
According to the movement, democracy cannot thrive where institutions are weakened and citizens feel unsafe, warning that history will judge the Mahama administration by outcomes, not intentions.
