CJ REMOVAL: A SET BACK TO OUR DEMOCRATIC JOURNEY - MINORITY

Minority in parliament has stated that, the petition for the removal of the Chief Justice, Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo is a serious set back to Ghana's democratic journey.

Addressing the press on 16 April 2025, the legal counsel for the minority, Mr John Darko explained that the purpose of the petition is to malign the head of the Judiciary.

He continued to say that the framers of our constitution made each of the arms of government independent and separate yet made provisions for checks and balances that are to ensure respect for each branch of the government.

The MP for Suame mentioned that they were told about four allegations that were petitioned to the president to remove the chief justice.

He said some of the stems allegation was that, the CJ advised the president to promote a number of judges to the supreme Court and presiding over a matter involving the speaker of parliament in an exparte motion.

He further mentioned that, they were told a gentleman committed contempt in -facie curiae and was accordingly punished by the court and for that reason he wants the CJ to be removed cause he's been punished.

It was also alleged of some financial misappropriation by the CJ in which she is accused of misappropriating some GHC 75,000 or so.

The lawmaker interpreter article 146 of the 1992 constitution which states the grounds for removal of Justices of the supreme Court.

" How can any serious country, mindful of its past and desirous of improving its democratic credentials entertain such a loose petition and orchestrate the destruction of the last bastion of the pillars of our democracy" he asked.

He revealed that, they are aware of plans for the invocation of article 146(10) to suspend the CJ and to appoint certain persons who are known sympathisers of the current administration to act as chief Justice.

Speaking to the media, the Deputy Ranking on the defence and interior committee, Mr Kofi Amankwa-Manu commented on some reportage circulating on the social media which indicates that, the inspector General of Police, COP Christian Tetteh-Yohunu promising the youth of Bawku to lay down their tools in exchange of recruitment into the police service. Mr Amankwa-Manu recommended that IGP's visit to the area says it is in the right direction but condemned his alleged promise to the youth of Bawku.

"But for me, it will be absurd to recruit people into the security services based on the fact t
