Ghana’s Pres. Mahama Removes Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo from Office


Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama has removed the Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo from office with immediate effect on grounds of stated misbehaviour.

This follows recommendations from a constitutional committee set up under Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution.

The decision comes barely hours after the President received the report of a committee constituted under Article 146(6) to inquire into a petition filed by Ghanaian citizen Daniel Ofori. That was only one out of the three petitions.

The Committee, after reviewing testimonies and extensive evidence, concluded that grounds of stated misbehavior under Article 146(1) had been established against the Chief Justice.

It subsequently recommended her removal from office.
