A private legal practitioner, Yaw Anokye Frimpong, has criticised suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Esaaba Torkornoo over a recent press conference in which she made several allegations and expressed dissatisfaction with the ongoing process seeking her removal from office.
Frimpong described the action by the suspended Supreme Court judge as a breach of Article 146 of the Constitution, which mandates that parties involved in such proceedings refrain from making public comments, as the process is conducted in camera.
Speaking in an interview on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5 FM, he asserted that someone who has spent her entire legal career rising to such a high office should not be the one to disregard established rules and engage the media in this manner.
He added that another troubling aspect of the press conference was her attempt to accuse members of the investigative committee of bias and human rights violations, despite their inability to respond or defend themselves publicly.
