A former Member of Parliament for Upper Denkyira West, Benjamin Kofi Ayeh, has stated that the rule of law must be upheld in the looming impeachment process of the Chief Justice of Ghana, Gertrude Torkornoo.
Speaking on a wide range of issues during an interview with GhanaWeb on April 16, 2025, he indicated that he has no misgivings over President John Mahama's consultations with the Council of State regarding petitions calling for the removal of the Chief Justice from office. "This country is governed by the constitution and hence the rule of law must be respected in the process.
So, if some citizens have made a case against the Chief Justice, let's allow the president and the Council of State to work together to determine if there is a prima facie case. "Now, if after this consultation, the committee set up by law to look into the matter presents their recommendations.
The President shall act in accordance with the recommendations of the committee.
