The Attorney General (AG), Dr Dominic Ayine, has slammed the comments of his predecessor, Godfred Dame, on their absence from court at the last sitting of the case on the processes for the removal of the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo.

Describing it as 'unacceptable,' the AG said that their absence was on the basis of a training for state attorneys, which required their presence - an equally important part of their work, and that the date for that training was fixed before the court's adjoining date. "State Attorneys were attending a training to effectively represent the interests of the state at the ECOWAS Court and our presence was important, so it's unacceptable for former AG to make such comments," he said.

The application filed by the Member of Parliament (MP) of Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, challenging the processes of removal of Chief Justice, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, has for the second time been adjourned to May 6, 2025.

Presiding judge, Prof Henrietta Mensah Bonsu, explained that one of the panel was unavoidably absent, hence the adjournment.
