Vincent Ekow Assafuah
Member of Parliament (MP) for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, is urging the Supreme Court to extricate the Judiciary from the political interference by the Executive, by safeguarding the tenure of office of judges and the Chief Justice.
The MP, in his statement of case to a writ challenging ongoing processes to remove Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo from office, referred to the constitutional history of Ghana from 1957 on provisions to protect the Judiciary from what he describes as “undue interference with the independence of the Judiciary and protection of the security of tenure of judges.”
