Martin Amidu has taken aim at former Chief Justice and current Council of State member Sophia Akuffo, accusing her of breaching her oath by publicly criticizing the constitutional process used to suspend and investigate sitting Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
Responding to remarks Akuffo made at the Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) forum on April 30 — in which she described Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution as “unfair” and called for amendments to allow a right of appeal for a Chief Justice found guilty by a committee — Amidu questioned the legality and ethics of such commentary from someone directly involved in the consultative process.
