Former Director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansa-Asare, has dismissed a petition seeking to dissolve the five-member committee probing suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, describing it as lacking merit.
He insists the judicial process must proceed without interruption.
The controversy deepened when a Ghanaian citizen filed a counter-petition on May 19, addressed to President John Dramani Mahama, demanding the committee's immediate dissolution.
The petitioner alleged that the committee's integrity had been compromised due to judicial ethics violations by some members, specifically citing a meeting between Justices Gabriel Pwamang and Samuel Adibu-Asiedu (both committee members) and Thaddeus Sory, the lawyer who represents one of the petitioners seeking the Chief Justice's removal.
