The maestro has spoken and so shall it be done.
We are in same age group's of Ghanaians, and I do believed our generations had the best ever educational systems in Ghana.
The CJ, like many Akufo Addo's appointees are given taskmaster plans they must swear oath of allegiance, compliance, and adherence. It is, therefore, not for nothing that former NPP parliamentary candidates and appointees who ...

See how she was praising Akufo-Addo to the high heavens that he is an example of “rule of law”
Upon all the misbehavior of Akufo-Addo towards the judiciary
AND WHO CHOOSES THE PANEL? IS THIS NOT THE MAN THEY SAYS HE IS A PROFESSOR IN THE USA? APUUU!
Georgina wood was using a software to assign cases to judges. This helps to reduce human bias. Why did Anin Yeboah and Getrude abandon such a practice?
She is already power drunk, a fool soldier she is. We are watching keenly
@Capacitor, you lack comprehension of the issues as stake and you open your smelling mouth wide. Shut up!!!
This woman will go down in history as the worst CJ in the history of Ghana, she’s so so partisan, very vindictive and she doesn’t deserve to be even a magistrate
I like theway these learned lawyers ike Azar are checking the systerm.I wished one he coud be appointed as OSP IN-CHARGE.
Since he doesn't have any particuar party affiliate known he will do just right.

The CJ has sunk so low with the judiciary, very corrupt and unprofessional woman who runs the judiciary with her emotions
Everything is basaaaaaaaa under akuffo and the npp government.God save GHANA.
Say that again, these people are running the judiciary like a family business. Acting like the NPP director of legal
Mercy!
A whole Prof Azar propagating this balderdash?wow!
Is the CJ not a member of the courts and is the CJ not head of the governing board of the judicial council/board?
how can you therefore make these statements, they ...

It is illegal and frowned upon. Stop destroying our country
@ dashiki, you are have said nothing sensible except to express your ignorance. Your stupid npp political spectacle is causing you to loose your sense of reasoning. No one is questioning the roles and functions of the CJ. Tho ...

@Dashiki, Dashiki you're very stupid with water in your brain. Shut up!!!
Professor Do All Are u sensible than the drafters on our constitution who gave that power to the chief justice? Should we give it to your wife?
Why did you complain in the past? I
Empty talk
There is a proverb that when one farts into your face you dont retaliate by doing same else you end up soiling yourself.
This can only happen under Akuffo Addo. Cj has soled her integrity for money and position. Very disappointing
A very good suggestion but will the CJ and her gang accept it when these judicial mafias are bent on destroying the judicial system because of their parochial interest?
The supreme Court has become weapon for destruction of political opponents. Kufour used it to destroy his political opponents and Akufo Addo is doing worse.
Ghana is going in the wrong direction in all fronts of development. Economy bad. Justice system terrible
She’s so petty and partisan, acting too much of a foot soldier instead of judge of repute
The current Chief Justice and Attorney General are the worst we've had as a country since independence. They're an existential threat to our legal system. They're serving Akufo Addo and Bawumia, not Ghana - and they're doing ...

CJ must know that Ghana is for her and his paymaster nana bawumia she has to becareful about the way she is handling the judicial system in the country
Hmmmm county call Ghana, everything is basabasa saaaaaa, imagine people who supposed to be acting neutrally are doing otherwise, thanks you Prof. for this bold talk.
The CJ and AG is bringing the state judiciary to the low level, because they working for NPP government
ALL THE LAWYERS TRAINED IN AKUFFO ADDO'S CHAMBERS ALWAY S DO "JUDGE-SHOPPING". THE CJ TORKORNOO TURNED THE CHEERLEADER OF THE NEBUCHADNEZZAR OF OUR TIME CANNOT PICK AND CHOOSE JUDGES TO PLEASE HER PAYMASTERS.
This Cj will go down in history as the worst ever in the history of Ghana
The Chief Justice is indeed a puppet of Akufo-Addo
The Chief Justice is a disgrace to the Judiciary!
The CJ is side-stepping the legal principles and ethics to please a lawless appointer, at all cost. Very unfortunate.
The Chief Justice has tarnished the image of our judiciary. She appears to be working solely to appease her superiors rather than serving the people of Ghana. Her conduct is a blow to democracy.
CJ Gertrude Torkornoo is indeed doing the bidding of her paymaster Akufo-Addo forgetting that she has sworn an oath to protect the constitution of Ghana.
I though this CJ would be different from her predecessor, but it appears she's also in to run errands for her appointer
just now
She is already power drunk, a fool soldier she is. We are watching keenly
Ghana is a very funny country. Is it by force to jail an innocent person at all cost? The penchant of akuffo addo and his bunch of evil appointees, ie Torkonu, The useless Godfred Odami, osarfo Marfo and his niece, Evelyn kee ...

WHEN THE CJ BECOMES THE CHEERLEADER OF THE PRESIDENT, THE JUDICIARY LOSSES ITS CREDIBILITY AND SUCCUMB TO THE DICTATE OF THE CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE HEADED BY THE KLEPTOMANIAC AKUFFO ADDO.
Such a useless chief justice who can not control her hatred for JM even at public functions . I am not surprised at the partisan attitude of Torkonu at all . That woman is been controlled by Godfred Odami and Gabby okyere da ...

The AG and the CJ are on a mission to destroy our Justice system and their interest.
I feel very terrible as a Ghanaian at this point. If the very judiciary that is supposed to be used to protect rights and liberties of citizens has now become a political wing for settling political scores, then its unfortuna ...

Clearly, my fear that a non-democratic president would one day appoint an irresponsible Chief Justice who will completely destroy the justice system in Ghana. The justice system has been so much depraved that it appears there ...

The Chief Justice's ill motives are leading her to subvert the will of the people, setting a dangerous precedent.
If this madam CJ feels she was appointed by the mother serpent of corruption and as such,she should do what pleases her master, I'm sorry she will soon regret.
A good proposition...this will stop pin brain CJ like what we've now from undue interferences and manipulations of fair trial and delivery of justice
God save us from the plans of these criminal cartels parading like Angels.
These are some of the problems we go through when we have some rural mafia men ruling the nation. They behave like they are the only people who have KWAKU ananse in their rooms.
This CJ is the worse political bigot this country have gotten. She won't spend 2 days in office if the NPP loses power.
Why is the Chief Justice bent on destroying our justice system for her personal interest? Posterity will judge her one day.
Chief Justice and the Attorney General should know that their mafia agenda will be exposed one day
We are tired of this Chief Justice. She is more political and biased in her actions
Under Nana Addo's presidency, the judiciary has suffered many setbacks. Why is the Chief Justice behaving as if there are no laws to follow?
The least said about this government,the better
Ghanaians are tired of this government. The judiciary is no longer working for the people but for the president's selfish interests
looking at this woman.CJ, she is even more dangerous than Jean Mensah.IF Ghana is not careful.These two evil women will destroy the country Ghana.
i concord.
Many citizens don't bother going to court because of the biased nature of the Chief Justice and the judiciary.
God bless you Prof. keep checking on this chief justice. she must do the right thing.
The judiciary must expedite justice and not injustice. CJ, step up your game
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS AN INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY IN GHANA CURRENTLY UNDER AKUFO ADDO AND BAWUMIA. WHAT WE HAVE IS NPP'S LEGAL TEAM.
Both the chief Justice and the Attorney General are evil minded with a diabolic mindset of persecution. Their cups will soon be full
The most useless CJ ever very partisan
NPP never again. Everything basaa. CJ stop the mafia work at SC.
Chief Justice's action of single handedly empanelling the supreme Court for such an important case is prejudicial and an insult to our justice system. She must not be a medium for which the executive unleashes its Vernon on m ...

Torkornoo is worst than Anin Yeboah
CJ Torkonoo is the greatest stooge among the boot lickers of Akufo Addo. She has no conscience to tell Akufo Addo and his puppet boy Dame the truth and the law.
What charm is Akufo Addo using to control the minds of the judiciary. Are they brainless. The CJ's conduct is pathetically disgraceful
Such conduct by the CJ makes is easier to understand the reason behind the states a the forecourt of the Supreme Court. Her hypocrisy is beyond comprehension.
This CJ Torkonoo is a useless enemy to justice. She cannot be heading the judiciary with such partisan mindset. How do you change a judge who is in the process of writing his judgement?
How does the CJ expect the parties to take just accept what she and Dame have conspired to do? Her conduct suggests that she is willing to subverting the constitution any day to allow Akufo Addo to have his way.
The C J is beyond salvage. She is raping the constitution while sitting as the official protector of the constitution.
Torkonu is a witch and a stooge. She gas no integrity. She is writing new laws everyday just because of 2 accused persons. Shameless woman.
Bootlicker CJ, she is terrible in administration and wickedly criminal minded in her conduct.
This woman thinks whatever Akufo Addo and Godfred Dame inform her to do is the law. How can an old woman allow such a small boy to be controlling her like this?
Spot on Prof. Such disregard for dictates of the constitution by a CJ is unbecoming of a judge. There is no fairness and justice in the way the CJ runs her judiciary. Arbitrariness is the order of the judiciary under Torkonoo ...
