The Minority Leader in Parliament, , has strongly criticised the Council of State over its recommendation to suspend Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Sackey Torkornoo.
The recommendation came after a prima facie case was established in response to petitions submitted to President John Dramani Mahama, calling for the Chief Justice's removal from office.
Addressing the issue, Afenyo-Markin expressed his disappointment in the Council of State, accusing the advisory body of failing the nation with a recommendation he described as lacking sound judgment, especially given the sensitivity of the matter. "Our Council of State has failed us.
The Council of State tells us that they found a prima facie, that's where the disappointment comes from," he said in an interview on Joy FM on May 2, 2025.
