Stupid man! It is very sad that a so-called lawyer is encouraging the President to go down this foolhardy path. They are the same people that will be the first to run out of the country if this leads to societal upheaval.

Do u have brain? An npp women's organizer is being removed as cj and u say it will cause upheaval? When ndc applied for injunction on ec carrying out limited registration in ec offices and tokorno gave a hearing date after the exercise, did it cause upheaval? When npp applied to the same court to stop elevy, tokorno didn't give a date up to today. But when afenyo markin applied for hearing at 12pm on a day sc wasn't seating, cj was able to mobilize 5 judges by 2pm to sit on the case the same day. The bias was too glaring but we didn't burn. We weren't even hot. We showed power on December 7, 2024

IT IS SO OBVIOUS, LOOKING AT THE COMPOSITION OF THE NDC-FULLY PACKED AND SKEWED COMMITTEE FORMED BY THE PRESIDENT TO LOOK INTO THE PETITIONS, THAT THE VERDICT WILL BE A 5-0 SCORE AGAINST THE CJ.

IT'S STRANGE PEOPLE, INCLUDING THIS SO-CALLED LAW LECTURER OR SO, ARE SPEAKING AS IF NDC IS AUTOMATICALLY GOING TO SACK THE CJ. I WONDER IF SOME PEOPLE HAVE BRAINS OR CLAY IN THEIR SKULLS. HOW CAN THE COMMITTEE RULE AGAINST HER IF WHAT SHE SUBMITTED AS HER DEFENCE IS LEGALLY DEFENSIBLE? FOR INSTANCE, ONE PETITIONER SAID SHE USED STATE RESOURCES ON JOURNEYS FOR HER HUSBAND AND CHILDREN. SHE CAME OUT STATING THAT SUCH A CONDUCT IS BACKED BY LAW AND MADE REFERENCES TO THE RELEVANT PORTIONS IN THE LAW. ARE SOME PEOPLE SAYING IF HER REFERENCES ARE CORRECT AND AS SUCH, JUSTIFY HER CONDUCT, THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS CAN CREATE THEIR OWN LAW AND SACK HER? SHE CAN ONLY BE SACKED IF WHAT SHE STATED IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IS IN THE LAW.

Why do you people think you are the only ones with brains? Yet you display your ignorance and stupidity at every turn. I'm not sure whether you are deliberately twisting the facts or simply lack the brains to comprehend the issues at hand. How can you say the CJ explained the charges and backed it with evidence? What evidence? You think all Ghanaian are as stupid as you are so you can just throw dust in our eyes.. What the CJ did was actually incriminate herself with her response. Let me educate you and all your fellow morons...the judiciary has 2 separate travel policies. One for private/personal travels and the other for official duty travels. You cannot substitute one with the other by law. She illegally used the conditions for her official travels for her personal/private travels. You see how a whole CJ affiliated with the most corrupt and criminal organization called NPP conducted herself? And still have the temerity to defend this illegal act. No wonder our judiciary is in tatters.. wicked animals...

Bastard kwame Sampson should off your nonsense Akan majority. You can be majority but we are stronger than you and we can control you if we want to. Who told you that those akans serving in this government will vote for your satanic NPP party to come back to power? You must be dreaming in your local corner somewhere. If the chief justice misbehave herself we should allow it because she’s from central region. Who cares where she comes from, the law is the law and no one is above it.

Bad precedent. Can the NPP and NDC really move Ghana forward? Do they really love the country with this do me and I do you antics? Are we serious as a nation? Do we have good and sensible rulers in the country, who really want to build a better future for their children and grand- children? These two parties are dividing the country rather than uniting it, and the aftermath will be very disastrous to remedy in the near future. Be aware that, the money you have will never save you when there is no peace in the country. Use CONGO, CENTRAL AFRICAN REBUBLIC, SOMALIA AND SUDAN AS EXAMPLES, just to mention a few. The wise people in Ghana should sit up before these two parties sent the country into the gallows

As a lawyer, Torkoornor should have been wise enough not to have been used by Akuffo Addo if she really cared
about her reputation and legacy as the chief justice. She allowed herself to be used . Akuffo Addo has no reputation and did not care about his legacy and this was clearly exhibited by him when he refused to listen to every body when they asked him to fire his non preforming minister of finance Ofori Atta. Akuffo Addo even dismiss the accusations of corruption involving Cecilia Dapaah and also dismissed the finding of the commission that looked into the killings at Ayawaso-Wogon during the elections . Akuffo Addo should solely be held responsible for the the defeat of the NPP and the fate of some of the party members who are yet to be prosecuted.

History is on her way. Theodore Woode served very well without any accusations of being partisan. She handled herself so well even take a look at the election petition of 2013. Then Sophia Akuffo tenure though politically tainted she discharged her duties without fear or favour. But the tenure of Gertrude Torkonoo was marred with so many controversial issues and open grand standing in deeply political issues that could go either way. She did herself great disservice we wish her well and she now learnt to bring her nose down .
