The Member of Parliament for Garu, Dr. Thomas Anaba, has called for calm and restraint as investigations into the petition against suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo continue.
He urged the public and political commentators not to rush to judgment or assume the outcome of the ongoing constitutional process.
Speaking on Channel One Newsroom, Dr. Anaba stressed that the probe is still underway and that no decision has been made about whether the Chief Justice will be removed from office or exonerated.
“No one knows whether she will be removed or not for now. We only know there is a probe going on. Whether she will be exonerated or she will be finally removed, as at now no one knows,” he stated.
He further warned that attempts by some individuals or groups to suggest that the outcome is already determined amounts to a misrepresentation of the legal process.
“Anybody who has already put the cart before the horse, that they are working to remove her, is committing an error,” Dr. Anaba cautioned.
Clarifying the role of the Executive in the matter, the MP explained that neither the government nor the President initiated the petition, but acted in accordance with constitutional obligations.
“It is not the government who initiated the process. The government or the President only acted following the rules or laws of the country.”
