President John Dramani Mahama has come under heavy fire from the Minority in Parliament, following his decision to suspend Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
The (NPP) Members of Parliament have called the action "tyranny" and a departure from good governance.
The suspension was imposed after a prima facie case was established in relation to three petitions demanding the Chief Justice's removal from office.
The decision lays the groundwork for a formal investigation of Ghana's top judge, which was made in accordance with Article 146(6) of the 1992 Constitution and after consulting the Council of State.
