Suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo says she chose to respect President John Dramani Mahama’s decision to suspend her even though it clearly defied constitutional procedure and Supreme Court precedent only out of reverence for the presidency, not because the action was lawful.
In an address to the media on Wednesday, 25th June, 2025, she described the move as part of a “bizarre” and “unconstitutional” process under Article 146, which she believes is being manipulated to remove her from office without due cause.
