Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo has requested copies of petitions submitted to President John Dramani Mahama seeking her removal from office.
In a letter to the President on Thursday, March 27, she appealed for access to the documents to enable her to respond accordingly.
Her request comes after President Mahama initiated consultations with the Council of State, following the submission of three petitions calling for her removal.
The CJ's request also comes at a time when the New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Assafuah, has filed a lawsuit at the Supreme Court questioning the procedure being used to handle the petitions.
