Former Presidential Press Secretary and spokesperson to ex-President John Agyekum Kufuor, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, has expressed strong reservations about the ongoing attempt to remove Ghana's Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkonoo, describing it as baseless and a potential threat to the independence of the judiciary.
Speaking in an interview with Joy News on the sidelines of the 2025 Martyrs Day Celebration on Monday, June 30, Agyepong emphasized that the 1992 Constitution sets a high threshold for the removal of the Chief Justice, requiring the commission of a grave offence.
However, he questioned the legitimacy and credibility of the current petitioners, saying, "What surprised me is that they are faceless petitioners.
I have heard of something called Shining Star, I am told it is not even registered.
