What stops Mahama from swallowing Ghana into his belly and relocate? I have said before that some of us lived under JJ who came with the gun for almost twenty years, and as this uncertainty is going on in Ghana, who can tell us where JJ, the longest ruler in our history is?

If the Judiciary is destroyed, that is the end of the so-called "Democracy" we are practicing because whoever is nominated as a CJ, will be haunted down by another leader. I don't think any civilized society will behave the way we are doing.

The NPP is afraid their assured defender may get out of the way and their nefarious activities will be brought to justice.

KWASEA GYIMIFUO. YOU ARE NOT, AND CANNOT BE AN NPP MEMBER. IMPOSSIBLE. NPP MEMBERS DO NOT THINK STUPIDLY LIKE YOU. KULBONG YOU ARE A DIRTY FAKE LIAR. YOUR MENTALITY IS THAT OF A TYPICAL ILLITERATE VAGABOND AND GHETTO NDC FOOT SOLDIER. WHY ARE YOU ASHAMED TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS NDC? LET YOUR PEOPLE DESTROY JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE. THE EFFECT WILL ONE DAY COME BACK TO BITE THOSE BEHIND ALL THIS. SOME OF THESE WICKED PEOPLE CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS. WELL GOD IS AWAKE AND ALIVE. THE TIME WILL COME.

@Kulbong. You don't just resign when you see no justification for the prima facie case found against you. You defend your innocence before a properly constituted panel with no political biases whatsoever in clearly spelt judicial processes that presumes an individual innocent until PROVEN guilty. Not in darkness under intimidation and coercion. The committee cannot manhandle the CJ unless they have already condemned her even before hearing her. That is injustice and blatant Political Persecution which should not be entertained in any civilised society. This is clearly an NDC agenda, crafted while in opposition and being implemented whilst in power. A premeditated intent to harm and destroy or capture the judiciary and subject it the whims of the executive branch of government. Torkornu should never loose heart. Right thinking Ghnaians are solidly behind her. Whatever the evil plot against her is, divine justice will be her portion. Just like Jusus did, even if the succeed in murdering her, she will rise from the dead.

A brilliant speech from a wise woman. Well done Madam. NDC can now do anything they wish against their opponents today, but these atrocities and persecutions against their opponents will not be forever.
NDC will receive the consequences in the near future.
Ghanaians are recording in their minds all what is happening to the opposition party members.
Power comes today and goes tomorrow. NDC pls be extra careful of the treatment you are putting on the opposition party members.
You may seriously regret in the future but that may be too late for some of your party members.
Treat all citizens equal. Democratic government does not rule under pick and choose mantra method.
Watch out, four years would soon come. Be extra careful on the people that voted for you
to rule.
Law is law, do not act emotionally on wrong doers. Let the law work accordingly.

Is it not interesting tbat in her long sermon she never mentioned one law that has been broken? Npp have gone to court 5 times to stop the prez or committee sitting but failed. All actions of the npp show that the suspended CJ was doing their bidding in the judiciary.

This woman sits in parliament and we use tax-payers money to pay her. Oh Ghana. Soon the number of parliamentarians will be reduced to 16 to reflect the regions. Their numbers do not make sense at all and they don't think well. After all MPs make laws not supervising and monitoring projects, attending funerals and parties. Have already sent the proposal to the constitutional review committee.

A lot of things went against other former presidents in time past. Atta Mills, Kuffour, Akufo Addo, Mahama etc but the speed at which the removal of a CJ in modern era has become the foremost agenda today is least expected. The president would be the least to to be tagged with this legacy. Constitutional review committee must be opened to allow the public to understand its work. Former president Akuffu Addo was careful not to fall foul to the interpretation of certain grey clauses as the Speaker tried to hurriedly declare the then minority as majority on account of declaring some seats vacant close to a general election which was eventaully won by the then minority.Is the constitution saying to protect the CJ the petitions brought against the CJ must not be made public.What benefit is this law. Now we know the venue was not at the Castle and hope no seraches now. By the way is old Tsatsu still in there.

When Akuffo Addo elevated Torkornoo over her seniors it was not undermining of the judiciary. Idiots.

Madam people like you and Afenyo Markin are the cause of the situation the CJ finds herself in. I think the CJ lost her bearing and machurity and drove herself where she is. If you study what is going on carefully it is obvious that the judiciary will be better off with a new CJ.
