Private legal practitioner Abraham Amaliba has accused former Deputy Attorney General Asonaba Dapaah of being instrumental in influencing the Ghana Bar Association's (GBA) recent comments regarding the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Torkornoo.

President John Mahama suspended the Chief Justice on April 22, 2025, invoking Article 146(6) of the 1992 Constitution, following consultations with the Council of State and the establishment of a prima facie case based on three separate petitions.

In response, the GBA issued a statement underscoring the importance of upholding constitutional principles and due process.

At the Association's mid-year conference, GBA President Efua Ghartey urged members to closely monitor the proceedings to ensure that justice is both done and seen to be done.
