Legal scholar Kwaku Asare, popularly known as Kwaku Azar, has cited a landmark Supreme Court ruling to emphasize that Ghana's apex court has no jurisdiction to intervene when a petition is filed against the removal of a public officer under Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution.
The petition for the removal of the Chief Justice has been presented through three separate petitions submitted to the President and subsequently forwarded to the Council of State for consultation.
The petition was filed by the New Patriotic Party's Member of Parliament for the Old Tafo Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Vincent Assifauh, through the former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame.
In a statement, Kwaku Azar referenced Ghana Bar Association v.
