A Political Scientist at the University of Ghana, Dr Joshua Zebuntie Zaato, has criticised the Association of Magistrates and Judges of Ghana (AMJG) for its silence amid the ongoing removal process of suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo.
Speaking on TV3's The Key Points on May 31, 2025, Dr Zaato expressed shock that the Association has not publicly supported the Chief Justice during what he described as an 'unfair' process. "Why is the union so quiet on this matter, so disinterested when one of their members is going through this matter?
This is happening to one of their own, and they are quiet," he questioned.
Dr Zaato stated that the AMJG's silence could be interpreted as implicit support for the removal process.
