The General Secretary of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has accused the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) of making unnecessary noise over the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo because they feel they no longer have any protection within the judiciary.
The NPP has strongly condemned the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo by President John Dramani Mahama, describing the move as unconstitutional, absurd, and repugnant.
President Mahama, on Tuesday, April 22, suspended the Chief Justice following the establishment of a prima facie case in response to three separate petitions seeking her removal from office.
However, the NPP believes such an action sets a dangerous precedent and marks a setback for democratic governance in the country.
