Former Speaker of Parliament, Professor , has waded into the heated debate surrounding the petition process to remove Ghana's Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo - and he isn't holding back.
Speaking in a recent interview on JoyNews' The Pulse, Prof Oquaye lashed out at Ghanaians who are now criticising the constitutional process, despite its long-standing existence.
In his view, many of those raising concerns today remained silent when the same legal structures were in effect years ago.
Delving deeper into the composition and operation of the panel that handles such petitions, Prof Oquaye expressed deep concern over what he described as a "ridiculous" system, questioning its fairness and legitimacy. "You pick any two Supreme Court judges; then you also can pick three other civilians who are not judges, not lawyers and so on, that you think can do justice or go into the matter.
