A Ghanaian citizen, Alfred Ababio Kumi, has petitioned President John Dramani Mahama to dissolve the five-member committee investigating petitions for the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, citing serious allegations of misconduct that undermine the inquiry's integrity.
In a petition reportedly dated May 19, 2025, Kumi raised four major allegations against members of the committee, constituted under Article 146(6) of the 1992 Constitution to probe three petitions against the Chief Justice.
The committee, announced on April 22, 2025, comprises Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang (Chairman), Justice Samuel Adibu-Asiedu, Daniel Yao Domelovo, Major Flora Bazwaanura Dalugo, and Professor James Sefah Dzisah.
Compromising meeting with petitioner's counsel First, Kumi alleged that on May 15, 2025, after the committee's inaugural sitting, Justices Pwamang and Adibu-Asiedu, along with Supreme Court Justice Yonni Kulendi, were seen dining with Thaddeus Sory, counsel for petitioner Daniel Ofori, at Santoku Restaurant in Accra's Airport Residential Area.
