Presidential staffer, Nana Yaa Jantuah, has launched a scathing attack against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) over their planned demonstration following the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.

Nana Yaa Jantuah described the demonstration as unnecessary, suggesting it is simply the NPP’s way of coping with boredom.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, she questioned the NPP’s interest in the ongoing process and whether the Chief Justice was a party member.

“When there is a need for a probe, we must do so thoroughly, and so we have to investigate the petitions. What is the NPP’s problem? Is the woman a card-bearing member or their Women’s Organiser?” she quizzed.

The NPP and other opposition groups have announced plans to stage a demonstration on May 5 to protest what they describe as political interference in the judiciary.

The Chief Justice’s suspension followed the establishment of a prima facie case after three separate petitions were filed calling for her removal.

However, the political parties involved have strongly condemned the decision, calling it a direct attack on the independence of the judiciary.

But infuriated by the move, the former General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) asserted that it could also be out of guilt.

“Everything the woman did that Ghanaians aren’t happy with, the NPP emboldened her, so they feel guilty, because I don’t see why they would bring parties together for a demonstration.

“They have nothing doing, and I see it as boredom. This is not the first time someone in an independent body is being probed. Charlotte Osei and other people went through it, so what is the NPP’s problem?” she fumed.
