This Saturday on Newsfile: Recall of CJ, halt NPP 'Thank You' tour, new Supreme Court list

Join host Samson Lardy Anyenini this Saturday, May 3, at 9:00 AM on JoyNews' Newsfile. The show will provide an in-depth analysis of Ghana's governance and political issues.

The panel will discuss the Ghana Bar Association's (GBA) call for President John Mahama to revoke Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo's suspension.

The GBA argues that President Mahama acted without proper legal authority. They state he is neither a judge nor a judicial officer. The GBA claims his actions lack a published Constitutional Instrument or Regulation as required by Article 296 of the 1992 Constitution.

This absence makes the suspension unlawful, according to the GBA.

The show will also cover the NPP's nationwide 'Thank You' tour led by former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. This tour faces criticism over its timing and possible political motivations.

Earlier this week, former Chief of Staff Kwadwo Mpiani criticized the tour. He called for it to be suspended due to its ill-timing after the party’s defeat in the 2024 elections.

In other news, President John Dramani Mahama has nominated seven Justices of the Court of Appeal for Supreme Court appointments. These nominees will be reviewed by the Judicial Council before going to Parliament for approval.

Tune in to Newsfile this Saturday as the panel discusses these important national issues with clarity and insight.
