Our guest interview takes us to Ghana, where the suspended Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, has stirred significant public debate following her remarks on the proceedings regarding her potential removal from office.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, June 25, Justice Torkornoo described the process as “unfair” and accused the investigative committee of bias. Her comments have drawn mixed reactions—while some legal analysts argue that the Chief Justice may have overstepped by discussing a matter being adjudicated in camera, others insist she is justified in defending her integrity in the court of public opinion.
Joining us to provide deeper insight is Kwaku Ansah Asare, Former Director of the Ghana School of Law. He shares his perspective on the Chief Justice’s statements, the legal implications of her public defense, and what this moment means for judicial transparency and institutional accountability in Ghana.
