CJ's suspension: Why aren't other judges facing removal? - Ex Deputy A.G. fumes

Diana Asonaba Dapaah, a former Deputy Attorney-General, is unhappy. She disagrees with the case against Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo. This case arose from petitions asking for Torkornoo's removal.

Dapaah discussed one petition that raised concerns about a mishandled case. She noted that other judges were involved in this case too. She questioned why only the Chief Justice is being targeted for removal.

Last week, President John Mahama suspended Chief Justice Torkornoo. This suspension follows the establishment of a committee to investigate the petitions. The decision complies with constitutional provisions and involved consultations with the Council of State.
