The Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo, has strongly denied allegations of misconduct and incompetence levelled against her in a petition submitted to the President by private citizen Daniel Ofori, describing the claims as unfounded and unsupported by evidence.
In a detailed response addressed to President John Mahama at Jubilee House, the Chief Justice dismissed all 25 allegations—including 21 of misconduct and four of incompetence—arguing that the petitioner failed to present the necessary evidence to establish a prima facie case, as required under Article 146(1) of the 1992 Constitution.
