Private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu, has proposed that suspended Chief Justice, Gertrude Araba Sackey Torkornoo, seeks a political settlement with President regarding her impeachment process.
According to him, a possible settlement would allow the Chief Justice and the president to discuss her terms and what she requires in order to willingly resign in a manner that preserves her dignity, career, and reputation.
Kpebu made the statement on JoyNews on July 31, 2025, in response to the Accra High Court's dismissal of Justice Torkornoo's judicial review application, which cited, among other issues, a violation of her rights by the committee investigating the petitions against her. "… Perhaps that avenue to resign is not available to her that's why you see that she's going nine miles.
So, in this context, I once again implore our senior statesmen to come together and then perhaps approach her.
