Petition Against Chief Justice

Prof. Stephen Kwaku Asare petitions for the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo, citing misbehaviour and incompetence.

The petition references Article 146(1) of Ghana's Constitution, focusing on the CJ's administrative role and conduct.

Accusations include a controversial request for new Supreme Court justices, allegedly violating constitutional appointment rules.

Alleged interference with judicial panels and unjustified transfer of justices are claimed to undermine judicial independence.

The petition argues these actions compromise judicial integrity and the right to a fair trial, demanding presidential action.
