Member of Parliament for Suame, John Darko, has stated that the New Patriotic Party's planned protest on Monday, May 5, is not aimed at defending suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo, but is rather a bold stand against what the party sees as an ongoing erosion of judicial independence under the current government. "For me, what the NPP is doing on Monday, May 5, is a protest against the destruction of the independence of the judiciary.
It is not in defence of Torkonoo," Mr.
Darko said during an appearance on Channel One TV's Big Issue on Saturday.
His comments come ahead of a joint demonstration organised by the NPP in collaboration with four other political parties.
