The Executive Director of the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), Prof H.

Kwasi Prempeh, has proposed significant judicial reforms relating to the removal of individuals holding the fourth-highest office in the country.

The legal expert, who chairs the eight-member Constitutional Review Committee, has identified secrecy and conflict of interest as major issues that must be addressed under Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution.

His comments follow the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo by President John Dramani Mahama, after sufficient grounds were established to proceed with an investigation into three petitions seeking her removal from office.
