Head of Chambers at Clinton Consultancy, Amanda Clinton, has asserted that it would be better for suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo to avoid public pronouncements and rather focus on her defence to a committee set up to examine petitions for her removal.

Ms Clinton, a private legal practitioner, was responding to the Chief Justice's press conference on Wednesday, June 25, held amidst a critical juncture for Ghana's judiciary.

The Chief Justice recently broke her silence on the matter, expressing concern over alleged constitutional breaches and irregularities in the process being pursued under Article 146 of the Constitution.

Her comments marked her first public engagement since the petition for her removal was initiated.
