Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo Suspended by President Mahama

Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has been suspended by President John Mahama. This follows complaints made in three separate petitions against her.

- Daniel Yaw Domelevo, Former Auditor-General - Member
- Major Flora Bazaanura Dalugo, Ghana Armed Forces - Member

The investigation aims to address the serious concerns raised in the petitions.
