A former Speaker of , Prof , has taken a swipe at Ghanaians who are criticising the ongoing processes on petitions for the removal of the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo.

Speaking in an interview on JoyNews' The Pulse, on May 8, 2025, Prof Oquaye pointed out that even though he has issues with the processes outlined in the 1992 Constitution for the removal of the Chief Justice, which he has expressed in the past, those 'crying' now did not complain about it when they were in power.

He said that he has written extensively about the issues he has with the process for over a decade, asserting that persons who were okay with the law when they were in power should not be complaining about it now. "Why is it that Ghanaians have watched this being their law for so long, and some people who today are criticising the system said nothing?

They did not speak about this.
