Prominent constitutional lawyer Thaddeus Sory has rebutted several claims made by suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Torkornoo during a press conference held earlier on Wednesday June 26, 2025.
The Chief Justice, currently facing three petitions for her removal under Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution, insisted that resignation is not an option and raised several concerns about the legality and fairness of the ongoing proceedings against her.
However, in a response, Thaddeus Sory dismantled each of her assertions, arguing that many of her claims reflect a "worrying misunderstanding" of the law particularly for someone of her standing in the judiciary.
Justice Torkornoo had stated that she requested a public hearing for the Article 146 proceedings.
