The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has intensified its opposition to President John Mahama's suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, stating that legal action might be taken if the decision is not overturned.
This firm position comes after the GBA's National Executive Council convened for a mid-year conference, ultimately declaring the suspension to be unconstitutional.
The association has expressed concerns over the implications of such actions on the rule of law and the balance of power between the executive and judiciary.
During an interview on Joy FM's Top Story on April 28, 2025, Saviour Kudze, the Public Relations Officer of the GBA, emphasised the importance of creating legal clarity around executive decisions involving judicial officers.
