The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has called for the immediate revocation of the presidential suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, calling the move unfair and unjustified.

At its mid-year conference in Accra on April 26, 2025, 43 GBA members passed a resolution stating that the petitions against the Chief Justice did not present enough evidence to justify her suspension.

After reviewing the five petitions and her responses, the Bar expressed concern that the suspension undermines judicial independence.

On April 22, 2025, President John Dramani Mahama suspended Justice Sackey Torkornoo, citing a prima facie case and invoking Article 146(10) of the 1992 Constitution.
