Private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu, has enjoined President and the Council of State to independently explore legal insights in the determination of prima facie case regarding the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo.

Responding to what should be the next line of action to be taken by the president on the impeachment process during an interview on Joy News on April 7, 2025, Kpebu indicated that exploring legal advice by the Council of State in the determination of a prima facie case will lend credibility to the impeachment process. "The CJ has responded to the petitions; So, what next?

Meaning they will give him advice and once it's good, he will take it. "It is important to state that the Agyei Twum v Attorney General even noted that the Council of State should get an independent legal advice from a reputable lawyer.
