On Tuesday, 22 April, Ghanaians were informed of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Torkornoo’s suspension, following numerous hints from leading members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on social media.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, spokesperson for the President and Minister for Government Communications, announced in a statement that a prima facie case had been established concerning three petitions calling for the removal of the Chief Justice, and a subsequent committee had been set up to investigate the allegations.
