The Member of Parliament for Gushegu, Hassan Tampuli, has strongly suggested that the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo forms part of a calculated political agenda aimed at purging the judiciary.
Speaking during a panel discussion on JoyNews' Newsfile, the MP accused elements within the current political establishment of acting to fulfil a campaign promise to reshape the judiciary from the top down. "The issue before us is a premeditated one," Mr Tampuli asserted. "During the electioneering campaign, we were told that this Chief Justice is not fit for purpose.
In fact, we were told that they were going to purge the judiciary.
They are going to purge the judiciary, and it starts from the top, so everything has been done in order to actualise this determined conclusion," he siad.
