Private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu, has stated that the Supreme Court may, in the future, be compelled to revisit its long-standing position that public officers facing removal under Article 146 cannot resign once proceedings begin.
Kpebu, who was speaking on Ghana Tonight on TV3 and monitored by GhanaWeb on Thursday, June 26, 2025, cited two key Supreme Court cases: Justice Kwadwo Amoah v Attorney General (2015) and Justice Paul Dery v Tiger Eye PI (2016) that established the principle.
He acknowledged the authority of those rulings but suggested that evolving realities in the current Chief Justice case could open the door for a review. "At the time those decisions were handed down, no one imagined a Chief Justice would come out publicly and narrate her version while the process was ongoing.
That creates a whole new context.
