The government is moving to introduce a legislative framework that will clearly define the grounds for removing Supreme Court judges, especially around the terms "incompetence" and "stated misbehaviour", which have long lacked legal clarity.

This was revealed by the Majority Leader in Parliament, Mahama Ayariga, earlier this week.

According to him, the new framework is aimed at addressing ambiguities in the current judicial disciplinary process and strengthening transparency and accountability in the judiciary.

Mr Ayariga made the remarks while speaking about recent controversies involving petitions to remove judges, including the current process concerning the sitting Chief Justice.
