The President of the Ghana Bar Association, Mrs Efua Ghartey, has raised the possibility of a public hearing in the hearing of the petitions to remove the Chief Justice.
She said this at the Mid-Year Review Conference of the Ghana Bar Association in Accra on April 26, 2025.
Efua Ghartey said that in spite of the constitutional provisions which stated that the proceedings should be held in camera, the current circumstances, where the petition and all matters related to it were in the public domain, may serve the country better if the matter were held in public.
Efua Ghartey also commented on the sidelines of the Conference that the purpose of the constitutional provisions for the in-camera hearing had been defeated in this social media era, and justice would not only be done but manifestly be seen to be done if Ghanaians had live televised hearings.
