A five-member committee set up by President John Dramani Mahama to investigate three separate petitions filed against the Chief Justice is scheduled to commence public hearings on Thursday, May 15, 2025.
This development follows the President's acceptance of the findings of a prima facie case against the Chief Justice, as determined in accordance with Article 146(6) of the 1992 Constitution, and in consultation with the Council of State.
The committee is chaired by Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang of the Supreme Court.
In a statement issued by the Presidency Communications Directorate and signed by Minister for Government Communications and presidential spokesperson, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the committee is expected to sit three times a week and submit its recommendations to the President upon the conclusion of its work.
