The Acting Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Edudzi Tameklo, has launched a scathing criticism against the former President of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA), Sam Okudzeto, over his comments on the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo.
Sam Okudzeto, a senior lawyer, had raised concerns about the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo, warning that although the move may be legal, it could send troubling signals to the international community and deter potential investors from engaging with Ghana.
On Tuesday, President John Dramani Mahama suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkonoo following the determination of a prima facie case in three petitions filed for her removal from office.
To investigate the matter further, the president established a five-member committee chaired by Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, a Supreme Court Justice.
