Former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Nii Ayikoi Otoo, has called on the Constitutional Review Committee to relook at provisions of the constitution that grant the president the power to appoint and remove the Chief Justice.
This comes after Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo 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.
