Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has officially responded to petitions seeking her removal, adhering to the deadline established by President John Dramani Mahama.
Sources confirm that the Chief Justice submitted her written response to both the President and the Council of State ahead of the April 7, 2025 deadline.
President John Dramani Mahama had given the Chief Justice 10 days to submit a preliminary response to three petitions calling for her removal from office. "Accordingly, you are respectfully requested to submit your preliminary response to the petitions within ten (10) days of receipt of this letter to facilitate further consultation between His Excellency and the Council of State," a letter from the Presidency said.
This followed a formal request by Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo to President John Dramani Mahama for copies of the petitions seeking her removal from office.
