Manhyia South MP, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, has raised concerns over the decision to publicize the petition seeking the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
He believes that making the petition public could compromise the integrity of the judiciary and cast doubt on its impartiality.
Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile programme, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) legislator criticized the Presidency for handling the matter in a way that could lead to political interference. "This constitutional process requires a level of confidentiality, at least in its early stages.
Making it public at this point risks politicizing the matter and casting doubt on the impartiality of the judiciary," he stated.
