Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings did not challenge the Soldiers ,when she saw the keys of the car on her table, the Soldiers used in killing the 3 Judges. Today she's an accomplice, wife of a MURDERER.

Sophia Akuffo must stop her hypocrisy. When she sat on the removal Charlotte Osei and her deputy EC commissioners, she didn't even allow them see the petition or the petitioners. President Nana Addo, similarly, didn't allow them to see the petitions. They quickly pronounced judgment and dismissed them. Where was justice? This old lady should go to sleep and stop the nonsense.

Sophia, what about Charlotte Osei? Was that also a treason trial? Who composed the committee? It's your (judges as such) utterances that render our judicial system IMPOTENT. The very system you are condemning you superintended it. What is wrong with you? In the Article 146(9) is faulty what did you do about it when you were in charge? Didn't you use the same to effect the dismissal of Charlotte Osei. This is HYPOCRISY in higher places. For this utterance, I am about to loose confidence in the current COUNCIL OF STATE, especially, with you amongst them.

That Sophia Akuffo ‘Addo’ idiot recommended the removal of Charlotte Osei who didn’t do anything that warrant removal but has the guts to criticize a woman who has taken the law into her own hands treating the Supreme Court like her personal property in violation of the law.
You a corrupt woman like that didn’t see anything wrong with that.
Shameless, shameless, shameless woman.
A former Chief Justice who will talk loosely like ghetto when the law is very clear on the removal of the Chief Justice.
How did she become a chief justice if she doesn’t know these basic things in law or she’s pretending?
The biggest mistake of Mahama is the appointment of Sophia Akuffo who played on their minds months to the election pretending to be against the NPP government.

This is the real” Mahama coup d’état “. In his last term as president, the man who has benefited the most from Ghana democracy, the man who has gained the most from Ghana’s democracy, the man who he and his family have become rich because of Ghana’s democracy has decided to destroy our democracy at all cost before he leaves office. He’s is bringing our democracy down like a mountainous building block coming down. From our military, he bypassed all the high ranked officers and chose their subordinate as chief of staff, something that has never happened in Our country and then now he has the chief justice . He has set up back about 40 years. I am angry and Very Sad for the country Ghana.

Was it not Justice Sophia Akuffo who removed Madam Charlotte Osei, the former EC chairperson, from office using the same article 146? In the case of Madam Osei, she was accused of procurement rule violations, which did not benefit her in person but the commission. Yet, you removed her from office. In Osonomaame’s case, her family benefited directly from violation of the public financial law. And what are you saying now???

Madam Sophia Akuffo is big hypocrite, this because at the time she was the CJ, she did not see anything wrong with the removal of Madam Charlotte Osei, the Electoral Commissioner then. She was the very CJ, then President Akufo-Addo used to kick out of office.
If she sees the removal of Madam Torkonoo as CJ to be unfair, then she has no business being in the Council of State.
She should resign immediately from the Council of State, she cannot give Mr President any good advice.

Madam Sophia Akuffo’s remarks highlight a concern many share: constitutional procedures must not only be followed but also inspire public confidence. The lesson from Justice Torkornoo’s case is the need to strengthen Article 146 so future proceedings are transparent, balanced, and free from perceptions of overreach. That’s where the ongoing constitutional review becomes crucial.

Because she was misbehaving and her deputies reported her. Charlotte Osei deserved the sack. As for the CJ it is pure political witch hunt cooked in the satanic pot of the ndc. You will live to regret it.

Stupid. You superintended over EC committee sitting and subsequent removal using the same Article 146(9). Today you are saying a different thing. You accepted an unsigned petition, constituted a committee to try her without even giving her a copy of that petition. Today you are there spewing nonsense.

Opinions are like noses and all humans have one! Madam Sophia has expressed hers but most of those opinions MUST not be misconstrued as FACTS! The Constitution has not been breached! Fact. The petioner(s) were not faceless people. They were known Ghanaians! FACT. The former CJ was given a hearing! FACT. Was she represented by her counsel? Yes. FACT. Was the hearing a treason trial? NO. FACT. At the end of the day, the report was duly presented to the President. FACT. The President acted on the recommendation(s)! FACT. In all such proceedings, there may be the Victors and the Vallian. FACT. Some people would be happy whilst the other side of the coin would be hurt, unhappy and disappointed/dissatisfied! FACT.

A profession which has caused Ghana negatively is the Law Profession.
They're not straight forward
Protect wrong doers because of their influence
One issue, 1000 perspectives. They quote the same law 1000 interpretation.
Then, they say "the law is in the bosom of the judge" meaning, he can give whatever interpretation in favour of the person he likes.

GERTRUDE had all the chances to fight the case but went about things the wrong ways jumping from one side to another and even unnecessarily getting ECOWAS court involved knowing that certain unacceptable behaviour has been committed. Taking your Family on holidays against the rules and a few other issues. I am afraid GERTRUDE has Brought all these problems on herself.

Madam if you've kept quiet it would have been good for you. It was your time when Madam Charlotte Osei was removed using the same article 146 process. You didn't condensed it or granted media interviews to that effect as you are doing now. Because the sacked CJ is your colleague now you're talking.

What double standard is this? You abstained or voted against during the council of state process. Good, however, didn't you think it would have been better you didn't go as an expert counsel for sacked CJ to protect your image? I'm highly disappointed in you and I wonder going forward how you will conduct council of state business. My advice to you is to resign and go and enjoy your article 71 salary every month. As a council of state member you take an allowance too, which can pay 20 newly recruited graduates in public service. You're not talking about this cheating and inequality in the system but you have the gut to talk about the constitutional process that you upheld. President Mahama should sack you from the council of state because you're dangerous person.

Why did CJ Akuffo wait for the sacking before speaking out? Voicing out her opinion earlier could have averted this calamity. And the petitioner who doesn’t work in the justice department got all those insider information on per diem etc? Reading the legal details and innuendos in the petition, it sounds like a cooked job. The committee should’ve investigated how and who put it together before pursuing what appears to be a witch hunt! The future of the legal terrain isn’t bright for Ghana.

I have been a great admirer of the forthrightness of Madam Sophia.
But here, clear evidence of the self preservation of the judiciary by its actors or former actors.
And that is the problem. The rot is preserved and well protected. And all can only imagine how rotten it is.
That is why Gertrude Torkornoo could blatantly excercise and display the level of impunity she did.
Is Madam Sophia saying she saw no wrong? heard no wrong?
Is Madam Sophia saying Gertrude should have been left to continue ruling as she wished in her kingdom?
Is Madam Sophia saying article 146 should have implemented according Her Lordship GERTRUDE TORKORNOO'S terms? Or Her Lordship Sophia Akuffo's term?
Let's not forget that becoming CJ or holding any high office does not imply the holder at a time is the best human being without a match.
It is always a position of stewardship.

I am so happy that the former CJ has tasted the pill she described as good to swallow and sees nothing wrong. A judges at the Cape Coast High Court did violate the constitution of fair hearing to manipulate justice for favor his friend who is also a friend of the removed CJ against my family. We petition removed CJ with clear evidence from the proceedings whereby the case was called and no applicant or his lawyer was presence and no defendants or their lawyer was presence because that day was not scheduled for court date, yet the judge heard the case by himself and ruled against us. We petitioned the Removed CJ about what has happened and that to transfer remaining case be transferred to a different judge, removed CJ told us that she sees nothing wrong with the judge because she knew her friend in the case had a bad. In fact Karma is real and Ghanaians should stop crying for her. She has swallow the bitter pill she gives to the vulnerable in society.
