Professor Charles Ofosu Marfo, a former President of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG), has accused the minority in parliament of hypocrisy for criticising President over the suspension and pending removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Torkonoo.
According to the professor, the (NPP) government under the leadership of former President committed worse actions than the current President Mahama, yet the minority failed to caution him and are now attacking Mahama.
He explained that the current acting Chief Justice, Justice Baffoe-Bonnie, was due for the position during Akufo-Addo's tenure but was denied the role due to his stance on an election petition involving the then-opposition leader, John Mahama.
Professor Marfo also alleged that Justice Baffoe-Bonnie's wife, Patience Baffoe-Bonnie, who is now the Director General of the Ghana Prison Service, was similarly denied an appointment during Akufo-Addo's administration.
