The Director of Legal Affairs for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Frank Davies, has voiced strong concerns over the way public discourse surrounding the potential removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo is being handled.
Speaking on Newsfile on JoyNews, Davies clarified that the issue is not about the removal itself, which is constitutionally backed, but the manner in which it's being discussed in public spaces. "It's not the removal, per se, of a Chief Justice which is the problem," he explained."It is a constitutional structure where it is founded.
So, if that is being exercised by citizens of this country, and there's a valid basis for the removal of a Chief Justice, it should not be too much." What worries him more, however, is how the conversation is being skewed by certain influential voices."For me, the aberration is when the issues are so muddied and there's a persistent refrain by people who should know better.
That is where the worry is," Davies stated.
