Suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo’s public remarks on the ongoing proceedings for her potential removal have ignited mixed reactions across Ghana.

At a press conference on Wednesday, June 25, Justice Torkornoo described the investigation process as biased and unfair, alleging that the venue for the hearings was chosen to intimidate her and limit transparency.

Her comments have drawn criticism from some legal analysts, who argue that she breached protocol by speaking out on a case being heard in camera. Others, however, defend her right to respond to what they view as procedural injustices.

The government, in a statement, has rejected the Chief Justice’s accusations, maintaining that the proceedings are being conducted fairly and in accordance with due process.
