Former Eastern Regional Minister, Seth Acheampong, has suggested that efforts to remove the suspended Chief Justice are politically motivated.
Sharing his view on the matter on Channel One on June 26, 2025, Acheampong described the entire sequence of events, from the petition to the establishment of a prima facie case against Gertrude Torkornoo and her subsequent suspension as predictable, referring to it as a "playbook." He further argued that the petitioners seeking Justice Torkornoo's removal may have been coached.
He suggested that they might not have written the petition entirely by their own volition, an assertion he used to support his claim of political orchestration. "This is the playbook for me.
Nobody can change my mind about that.
