Ashanti Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Yandoh, has mounted a strong defence of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo in the face of growing calls for her suspension over alleged misuse of travel funds.
Speaking in an interview on Wontumi TV, Yandoh dismissed the petition against the Chief Justice as unfounded, arguing that the allegations, particularly those relating to her travel expenses, lack merit and should not have warranted the establishment of a prima facie case.
According to him, the accusations do not rise to the level of serious misconduct and reflect a troubling pattern of selective scrutiny often applied to certain public officials. "The petition is baseless," he said firmly, insisting that there is no substantial evidence to support the claims.
Yandoh questioned the fairness of the public discourse, pointing to what he described as blatant double standards.
