National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has doubled down on his party's criticism of Ghana's judicial system, citing recent remarks by suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo as further justification for what he calls a necessary reset of the country's legal framework.

In an interview on Joy News, the NDC stalwart argued that Justice Torkornoo's own public discontent with the judiciary-which she once led-is evidence of deep-rooted problems. "She is now claiming the judiciary is flawed, but it is the same judiciary she headed.

If she now sees it as unjust, then that only justifies our call to reset the system to eliminate political manipulation," Nketiah said.

He clarified, however, that the party was not advocating for executive interference in judicial matters. "We're not saying the executive should reset the judiciary.
