Gertrude Torkornoo's removal as Chief Justice has always been political - Suame MP
Gertrude Torkornoo's removal as Chief Justice has been described by Suame MP John Darko as inherently political. Speaking on Newsfile, Mr. Darko stated, "For me, this case, as I said earlier, began as a legal case. But for me, it was always political." He argued that the proceedings, though framed in legal terms, carried a strong political undertone and quickly evolved into something shaped by political considerations and strategic decisions.
Mr. Darko claimed the trajectory of the case reflected a predetermined political intention, with actors pursuing a long-set outcome. He noted that while legal arguments centered on procedural and human rights issues, including rights to fair process, access to justice, information, and work, the underlying dynamics pointed to a politically driven process. These comments followed the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice's dismissal of all seven claims filed by former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo against the Republic of Ghana. Torkornoo also filed an application for review of a Supreme Court May 28 ruling.
