The Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, has criticised the judiciary for failing to protect Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo during the process that led to her removal from office.

According to him, the Chief Justice was abandoned by the very institution she had served faithfully when she needed its protection most.

He expressed disappointment that all the applications she filed at the Human Rights Court were dismissed under what he described as "bizarre circumstances," with the justification that the court lacked jurisdiction.

Baffour Awuah argued that the situation amounted to a sacrilegious attempt to oust the Chief Justice, stressing that the move was pre-determined and deliberately executed.
