A former Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Catherine Afeku, has condemned the suspension of the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo.
Addressing the gathering at the Save the Judiciary Demo on Monday, May 5, 2025, she stated that such actions erode public trust in democratic institutions in the country. "The judiciary should operate independently to ensure that one receives a fair hearing when your case is presented in court.
It is essential for the judiciary to maintain strong independence.
We need the judiciary to be fiercely independent. "Women of Ghana, rise up and pray for Chief Justice Torkornoo, as what impacts one woman impacts us all," she remarked.
