A former Director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansa-Asare, has justified the removal of the Chief Justice, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, by President John Mahama, acting on the recommendations of the Committee that established grounds of stated misbehaviour against her.
Her removal by the President follows recommendations from a constitutional committee set up under Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution.
The decision came barely hours after the President received the report of a committee constituted under Article 146(6) to inquire into a petition filed by Ghanaian citizen Daniel Ofori.
That was only one out of the three petitions.
