President John Dramani Mahama has given Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo a 10-day deadline to provide an initial response to three petitions seeking her removal from office.
This directive follows a formal request by Chief Justice Torkonoo, who asked the President for copies of the petitions filed against her. The petitions have sparked widespread discussion in both legal and political circles, with petitioners questioning her conduct and suitability to remain in her position.
Although the exact nature of the allegations has not been disclosed, the situation presents a significant legal and constitutional challenge. The Chief Justice now faces the task of submitting her defense within the stipulated timeframe, or she may face further proceedings that could impact her tenure.
Legal experts argue that Chief Justice Torkonoo’s response will play a critical role in determining the next course of action, including the possibility of a formal inquiry into the petitions.
