Retired Supreme Court Justice, William Atuguba, has questioned the rationale behind the outcry from critics - particularly the objection raised by former Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, over Acting Chief Justice, Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, presiding over a high-profile constitutional case on the Chief Justice's suspension.
According to him, the suspended Chief Justice had a vested interest in her own case, particularly in the way she carefully selected the panel of judges to preside over the matter involving her.
In a JoyNews interview on May 7, 2025, Justice Atuguba warned of serious consequences for the country if the politicisation of issues and governance is not brought to an end. "I'm telling you, this country, if we are not able to exorcise political poison from our governance system, we'll continue to suffer.
Before her suspension, when the process was commenced for her removal and Godfred Dame and others brought suits and injunction, who empaneled the suspended Chief Justice?
