Renowned US-based Ghanaian lawyer and scholar, Professor Stephen Kwaku Asare, has criticised the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) following reports of its members reacting to a resolution calling on President to revoke the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.

In a statement shared on X on Sunday, April 27, 2025, Professor Kwaku Asare, popularly known as Kwaku Azar, noted that the new development indicates that the association has regained its voice under the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.

However, he pointed out that until the GBA addresses the constitutional issues surrounding the actions of the Chief Justice, which have led to the petition for her removal, it should suspend its resolution calling for President Mahama to revoke the suspension of Justice Torkornoo. "Less than a week after calling for the rule of law to prevail, the GBA has reversed course-now urging the President to revoke the suspension of the Chief Justice. "It's good that the GBA has finally found its voice," Azar wrote on X.

He continued, "We would now like to hear that voice on these pressing constitutional matters.
