Legal Practitioner, Kwaku Azar believes the current Chief Justice is not worth occupying the position she is occupying.
According to him, just as commissioners in the past have been removed, Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo is not beyond removal.
He explains that a Chief Justice who negotiates on who to be on the Supreme Court with the president should not be allowed to lead the Judiciary.
In a post shared via social media, he said “Time will tell nothing.
We have always insisted on punishing wrong doers. Did Annoh Dompreh not petition Mahama to remove Lauretta Lamptey from CHRAJ? Did Mahama not appoint a committee after Nyamah’s petition scaled the prima facie hurdle? Did Mahama not suspend her during the pendency of the committee’s work? And did he not remove her acting on the advice of the Committee even though Lamptey was an NDC appointee?
Did some faceless people not petition for the removal of Comnissioner Osei? Was she not removed by Akufo Addo?
What exactly has changed?
We should retain a CJ who is in the backroom negotiating with a president on who should be on the Supreme Court?
Because, what?
Da Yie!”
