A formal petition has been submitted to President John Dramani Mahama demanding the removal of Supreme Court Judge, Justice Yonny Kulendi, over alleged judicial misconduct.
The petition, which can be confirmed by Citi News, was filed by one Daniel Marfo Ofori-Atta on September 30, 2025, and was addressed to the Office of the President.
In it, the complainant accuses Justice Kulendi of improper interference in proceedings at the High Court in the ongoing ambulance scandal case, Republic v. Cassiel Ato Forson & 2 Others.
According to excerpts of the letter sighted by Citi News, Mr. Ofori-Atta argues that the alleged actions of Justice Kulendi contravene provisions of the Code of Conduct for Judges and Magistrates. He contends that such conduct undermines judicial independence and erodes public trust in the judiciary.
The complainant confirmed to Citi News that the petition has been duly filed and acknowledged by the Presidency.
It remains unclear what immediate steps will be taken, but under Ghana’s 1992 Constitution, the removal of a Justice of the Supreme Court must follow a strict process outlined in Article 146.
