    As much as I support the removal of the current CJ, I pray that the rationale for removing her from office is that the administration is looking for an independent person who will work for the people’s interests and not the ...

    New nominees of qualified judges to the Supreme court should be assigned random numbers put in a lotto machine so that the first nine numbers to drop are vetted and approved by parliament.

    I have followed reading of articles by prof Asare from chronicles newspapers from the 90. I used to enjoy his education about human rights, I thing he has now allowed pugilism and mischievous tendencies to slip into his actio ...

    @Dabidabi, I don't think so.Gertrude was a very twisted CJ, she put Nana Addo and the NPP party first in legal transactions, we may try to argue it but that is the truth. Gertrude is an NPP sympathiser if not a card bearing m ...

    Plainly biased opinion. On your whims a Chief Justice can't be removed. No legal standing for her removal. Nyame nhyira wo paa.

    What do you mean he has not been fair to her at all? Do you know the curious relationship between her and very criminal Afenyo-Markin? She's deep in his pockets and returns favors for him.
    IN other words, she's another very ...

    At least there should be some better way of nomination rather than from the perspective of corrupt criminal and self-oriented presidents in Ghana.

  • Gyekye 11 months ago

    Prof Asare who was known in Camus as Azar is known die hard NDC person. When judges were slaughtered by PNDC government when he was a student what was his reaction? Those of us who know him very much know that he has been mis ...

    With all the record-breaking proofs of ill-will and rampant theft currently shocking the nation, NPP looks like a party of intelligent, honest and patriotic citizens to you? I doubt your wisdom.

  • Kwame 11 months ago

    @DotCom, everyone in this our country Ghana is aligned to a political party for whatever reason. So what we need is a God fearing honest man or woman who will put God first when it comes to exercising justice for the people.

  • The Spear 10 months ago

    Yes, but that's the problem. There's hardly any God-fearing, honest men among the political leadership in the country.

  • The Spear 10 months ago

    Other than that, what else would be the justification for calls of her removal if it does not pertain to works in the interest of the nation?

  • Geeman 11 months ago

    It's finished she can't hook wink any straw . She is gone for good.

    Why is she holding door? Even Boris Johnson of the UK resigned voluntarily. Africans have glue on their anus that gets stuck to seats. For chop chop

  • Kofi Asare 11 months ago

    This so called professor of law from the day her Ladyship Getrude Torkunoo was appointed has never ceased to criticize her. It looks like he bears the Lady a personal grudge of something he himself can explain.

  • The Spear 10 months ago

    The Professor shares exactly the same perspectives many of us hold about the political and judicial landscape in Ghana.

  • Reaping what you sow 11 months ago

    My advice to Prof Azar is he should go and read Galatians 6: 6-7. he should remember his humble beginnings. The same God who raised him as poor man’s son from one of the Akyem towns which I don’t want to mention is the sa ...

    Who told you NDC people read the Bible or the Quran? All they think about is for their Party to be in power so that they take their share of the nation's resources. That is why they kill to come to power.

  • Kwakusika 11 months ago

    At least he'll fall down in the USA,not in Ghana.

  • Yamboi 11 months ago

    Prof Asare is misogynistic and misguided person. Check all his writings about CJS who are women since the fourth republic and you will find out his agenda.

  • The SILLY Children Afenyo Markins and Annor Dompreh 11 months ago

    NPP always parade themselves as intellectual but many of them are very superficial in knowledge and understanding even in their chosen field!

    What they know best is making empty noise!

    The CJ will definitely go, even i ...

  • Odiyifo 11 months ago

    This is a warning to all future CJs to adjudicate without partisanship. She should go home and rest. Nana Addos appointments follow with curses.

    So the President can secretly hire his fanatics and supporters to file petitions for the removal of public officers without the due process of the law? Are we building a country or we are building presidents to behave like ki ...

    The questions that begs for answers from Prof Kwaku Azar are, when there are procedural breaches in the application of article 146(1) etc, how does the injured seek redress?
