Johnson Asiedu Nketiah has rejected suggestions that the current government is plotting to remove suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo from office.
Speaking on Channel One TV's Face to Face on Tuesday, August 26, Asiedu Nketiah insisted that the executive arm of government has taken no such steps. "The executive has done nothing about the removal of the Chief Justice," he stated firmly.
According to him, the executive has remained within the bounds of the constitution, carrying out its responsibilities without interfering in judicial matters. "If anything at all, the executive is undertaking their responsibilities as far as upholding the constitution is concerned. "So, the executive, to my mind, has not done anything by itself to try and remove the Chief Justice," he explained.
Asiedu Nketiah further dismissed claims that the judiciary is under political siege.
