President John Dramani Mahama has officially removed Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkonoo from office in accordance with Article 146(9) of the 1992 Constitution.
The decision follows the submission of a report by a committee established under Article 146(6) to investigate a petition lodged by Ghanaian citizen, Mr. Daniel Ofori.
The committee found sufficient grounds of stated misbehaviour as outlined in Article 146(1) of the Constitution and, therefore, recommended her removal from office—a recommendation the President has acted upon.
