    The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has called for strict adherence to the rule of law as constitutional processes unfold to determine the fate of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo.

    This follows a petition submitted by three individuals to President John Dramani Mahama, seeking the removal of the Chief Justice.

    The petition was subsequently forwarded to the Council of State, which determined that a prima facie case existed.

    In line with constitutional provisions, a five-member committee was constituted to investigate the matter, prompting the suspension of the Chief Justice pending the outcome.

    In a statement issued on the matter, the GBA emphasised the importance of upholding constitutional principles throughout the proceedings.

    “While the GBA recognise the constitutional prescription for the removal of the Chief Justice under Article 146(6) and (10) of the Constitution, and mindful of the fact that presently, the entire matter is sub judice, it is the hope and belief of GBA that the actors involved in the whole process would have the time tested tenets of the Rule of Law at their guiding principles and its application, follows the spirit of the law,” part of the GBA’s statement read.

    The Association also urged all stakeholders involved, no matter how minimal their roles, to be guided by Article 296 of the 1992 Constitution in the exercise of their discretion.

    “It is expected that persons who play even the minutest role in this process will bear in mind Article 296 of the 1992 Constitution in the exercise of discretion and will act in a manner that safeguards and enhances in independence and image of the Judiciary.

    “Justice emanates from the good people of Ghana and is administered by the Judiciary headed by the Chief Justice,” the statement added. – citinewsroom
