Private legal practitioner and vice president of policy think tank IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, insists that the chief justice’s removal is political.
Earlier this week, suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo described the process to remove her as political, indicating that she will never be forced to resign.
She explained that she is speaking up about the process to ensure that the ill process is not made to fester.
In a Facebook post reacting to the process of the removal, Kofi Bentil explained that the move is political and no serious person will doubt it.
To him, the Chief Justice’s media engagement among other decisions taken by her, is to make the process an honest process for fixing real problems and not a political tool used by politicians to kick out people they do not like.
“No serious person doubts that the CJ removal is political. This will continue if not stopped! best outcome for Ghana is to expose how bastardized it has become, take the politicians out and make it an honest process for fixing real problems. Tokornoo is helping do that”
