Former Director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansa-Asare, has raised concerns about the attempts to remove the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkonoo, cautioning against politically motivated petitions.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem, he criticised the deep political divide between the (NPP) and the (NDC), stating, "This NPP-NDC back and forth will not help the country.
We need to stop it." According to him, similar petitions to remove a Chief Justice under President Nana Akufo-Addo's tenure were unsuccessful because the constitutional processes were followed.
He advised President John Mahama to do the same. "If Nana Akufo-Addo, during his time, rejected petitions against the Chief Justice using constitutional channels, then Mahama should also ensure that the constitution is followed and not go against the laws of the country," he stated.
