The suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Sackey Torkornoo by President , following petitions filed seeking her removal, has sparked debates over its constitutionality and whether such actions have precedence in the country's history.
This development has raised concerns regarding its potential implications for the country's democracy and judicial independence.
In light of this, a video has surfaced on the internet showing citizens gathered in large numbers, holding placards and marching through the streets of Accra to celebrate the removal of the country's first African Chief Justice, Sir Kobina Arku Korsah, from office in 1963 by former President Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
Some of the inscriptions boldly written on the placards read, 'We demand real justice,' 'Korsah is a traitor,' 'The party is supreme,' and 'Osagyefo is our redeemer,' among others.
