Private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu, has backed calls for the review of the 1992 Constitution to take away powers of the executive to appoint or remove chief justices.
He made this call while reacting to the petitions calling for the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo, in an interview on JoyNews.
He hinted that the embattled Chief Justice had raised similar concerns during her vetting. "You remember during her (Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo) vetting, it was one of the issues she raised.
She called for review of the law to wean presidents off their power to appoint or remove chief justices," he said.
