The Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Ekow Vincent Assafuah, has criticised the composition of the committee set up to probe the petitions seeking the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo, describing the panel as politically-tinted.
He suggested that the members of the committee are clearly NDC sympathisers seeking revenge against the Chief Justice because she was appointed by the former president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
In a statement he shared on April 22, 2025, the legislator stated that the suspension of the Chief Justice has revealed the intention of the president.
He argued that three members of the committee are persons whose political affiliations are known and, therefore, unfit to provide an objective assessment of the petitions.
