President Mahama Suspends Ghana’s Chief Justice Torkornoo Over Corruption by Racoon(op): 4:53pm On Apr 23, 2025
Ghana’s President John Mahama has suspended the country’s chief justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, following serious allegations of legal misconduct and corprocess

Ms Torkornoo, who became Ghana’s 15th chief justice and the third woman to hold the post, was appointed in June 2023.

Ms Torkornoo’s suspension was announced in a statement released on Tuesday by presidential spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu, following a formal petition filed against her by three individuals.

“In consultation with the Council of State, it was determined that a prima facie case has been established and that Torkornoo would be suspended while she is investigated,” the statement said. Ms Torkornoo was accused of tampering with court records and misappropriation of public funds.

Mr Mahama has also established a five-member committee, including Gabriel Pwamang, a supreme court justice and former auditor-general, Daniel Domelevo, to investigate the allegations against Ms Torkornoo.

Meanwhile, Ms Torkornoo has been given 10 days to appear before the investigative panel, becoming the first sitting chief justice to face formal investigation through a constitutional process.

In Nigeria, it's the leaders that would call the Chief Justice and negotiate a deal.. they would be like "what can you do for us in the future in exchange for coverup of your sins?!"
"Since you have proven that you are a sharp guy too, Can you guarantee us at least 5 electoral cases at the Supreme court and walk freely in exchange?!

This country!

It cannot happen in Nigeria because the president and the chief justice are often from the same tribe!! It can only happen when the incoming president meets a chief justice who is not from his tribe, in order to remove him on trump up charges!
