President John Mahama has expressed disappointment over a letter from Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, which was leaked on social media before he had the chance to review its contents.

The President's concerns were highlighted in an official letter signed by Callistus Mahama, Secretary to the President.

According to the statement, the Chief Justice's letter, dated March 27, 2025, was widely circulated online before reaching the President's desk as addressed. "His Excellency, however, notes with disappointment that your letter of 27th March 2025 addressed to him was circulating on social media even before he could review its contents." "The letter was reportedly shared as an attachment to another letter you wrote to the President of the Supreme Court, the President of the Association of Magistrates and Judges, and the President of the Ghana Bar Association," the statement read.
