The Minister of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has strongly dismissed criticisms from the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) regarding President John Mahama's handling of petitions seeking the removal of the Chief Justice, Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo.

Kwakye Ofosu's comments were in direct response to the Member of Parliament for Manhyia, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, who expressed concerns that the process initiated by President Mahama based on the petitions could be politically motivated and set a bad precedent.

The Minister, however, rebuffed this assertion, insisting that the NPP lacks the moral authority to critique the government's actions given its past conduct.
