Dr George Domfe, a Development Economist at the University of Ghana (UG), has stated that if President goes ahead to sack suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Torkornoo without any evidence of wrongdoing, it will be a fulfillment of a promise he made prior to assuming office.
According to Dr Domfe, who is also the Founding President of Africa Policy, the President, while in opposition, promised to "balance" the judiciary with members of the (NDC), in response to what he described as the dominance of judges appointed by the (NPP) during the tenure of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Speaking on a panel discussion on Peace FM on June 30, 2025, Dr Domfe referenced a press conference by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, a Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, which was held to counter the Chief Justice's public rebuttal of the allegations against her.
He noted that Kwakye Ofosu did not directly refute the Chief Justice's claims during his press briefing.
