Legal practitioner, Theophilus Dzimega Jnr, has emphasised that the position of Chief Justice demands an individual with high moral integrity.
In an interview with GH One TV and monitored by GhanaWeb on Friday, April 25, 2025, he explained that beyond academic and professional qualifications, the Chief Justice must possess an unquestionable character. "The qualifications to be a Chief justice, you need to demonstrate that you have a high moral character.
So, someone might petition or send a memo to say, this person is not a person of high moral character," he noted.
The legal practitioner also noted that discussions around the possible removal of a Chief Justice might be handled more discreetly due to the sensitivity of the matters involved. "When you're going to go into committee work about the removal of a Chief Justice, there may be things like fraud, there may be concerns about his or her character or even family issues.
