Ghana’s suspended Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, is challenging the legality of a committee probing her potential removal from office.

She has filed an interlocutory injunction at the Supreme Court, aiming to halt the work of the five-member panel established by President John Mahama.

The committee is reviewing three petitions questioning her conduct and calling for her dismissal.

Torkornoo’s legal action signals a high-stakes battle at the top of Ghana’s judiciary.
