The suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has alleged multiple constitutional and legal breaches in the ongoing enquiry against her, citing what she describes as "escalating violations" of due process and the rules of natural justice.
During a press conference on Wednesday, June 26, 2025, Justice Torkornoo expressed worry over the conduct of the committee tasked with investigating the petitions that led to her suspension.
According to her, rather than serving as a guiding precedent for nation-building, the proceedings are "breaking every rule on how justice is delivered in the country". "I have decided to make this statement today because the violations have not stopped.
Indeed, they have escalated beyond anything I could have imagined as possible," she noted.
