The Africa Institute on Governance and Security (AIGS) has expressed deep concern over the ongoing process to remove Ghana's Chief Justice, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
In a statement, AIGS emphasised the need for due process, transparency, and adherence to the rule of law.
The institute stressed that the independence of the judiciary is crucial for democratic governance and urged stakeholders to ensure a thorough and impartial investigation. "The independence of the judiciary is a cornerstone of democratic governance and a critical safeguard for the rights and liberties of all citizens.
Any process to remove a sitting Chief Justice must be conducted with the utmost integrity, free from political interference, and in a manner that upholds public confidence in Ghana's democratic institutions", the statement said.
