Private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu, has expressed strong disapproval of the decision by the embattled Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo to engage the services of former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Dame, as her legal counsel in the court case seeking to halt her removal process.
Reacting to Torkornoo's suit, Kpebu described her choice of legal representation as "terrible," arguing that Godfred Dame's past controversies, particularly the leaked audio tape from the Ambulance case trial involving Richard Jakpa, have tarnished his image and could potentially affect the entire suit. "The optics are very bad in her choice of Gofred Dame as lawyer.
It's terrible and I can't believe it.
People had made comments earlier on, so I thought the Chief Justice would have taken a cue from it," he said on TV3 on Thursday, May 22, 2025.
