YES, THE ALLEGATIONS FOR FIRING TORKORNOO WERE RELATIVELY TRIVIAL BECAUSE EVEN AKUFO-ADDO, KUFUOR, CECI DAPAAH, KEN AGYAPONG, ETC ARE STILL WALKING FREE! GHANA IS A JOKE!

NO WONDER THE HOPELESSLY LOOTED GHANA IS ETERNALLY BANKRUPTED AND HIGHLY INDEBTED WITH KILLER TAX REGIMES. GHANA WILL REMAIN A HOPELESS NATION TILL THY KINGDOM COME.

IS THIS CRIMINAL GABBY OSTRICH STILL WALKING FREE? Ei, GHANA!

AKPALOO WILL SOON START FAKING ILLNESS FOR HOSPITAL ADMISSION! WATCH THIS SPACE!

EI, GHANA! SO, THIS USELESS BLOCKHEADED REDUNDANT PAUL ADOM OSTRICH BOY WAS ALSO A BOARD CHAIRMAN, I REPEAT, BOARD CHAIRMAN OF GHANA AIRPORTS COMPANY LIMITED, AND WE EXPECTED GHANA AIRPORTS TO GROW, DEVELOP AND FLOURISH? OMG, GHANA!

WHAT'S WRONG WITH GHANA'S LEADERS? DO THEY HAVE WELL-DEVELOPED BRAINS?

NO WONDER POTENTIALLY WEALTHY BUT BANKRUPT GHANA PLC IS ETERNALLY HIGHLY INDEBTED AND ALWAYS CHASING THE IMF/WORLD BANK AND OTHERS FOR LOANS AND OTHER FREEBIE HANDOUTS.

LED BY A CLUELESS "PROFESSOR" VICE-PRESIDENT, BANKRUPT HOPELESS GHANA IS CRYING OUT TO OTHERS FOR DEBTS FORGIVENESS AMIDST A CREDIBLE HISTORY OF A PLETHORA OF NAKED STATE SCANDALS, THIEVERY, STATE LOOTING AND IRRESPONSIBLE PROFLIGATE PUBLIC SPENDING BY REDUNDANT CRIMINAL APPOINTEES OF SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTS OF GHANA.

GHANA WILL CRY OUT FOR DEBTS FORGIVENESS TILL THY KINGDOM COME! ONLY FOOLS WOULD LISTEN TO THEIR CRIES AND CROCODILE TEARS!

Surely this learned deputy AG understands what “trivial” means in law within the context.
The inference he draws from the former Chief Justice’s interview is illogical, bogus and pedestrian.

@Sister Soulijah I agree Sophaia Akuffo is a criminal. She presided over procurement allegation which was not related to Shallot Osei's work and agreed there was prima facie and recommended Osei removal using the same article 146 principle.

@Karikakchar she became objective when she left the position of Chief justice, according to her , she was free from being gagged by NPP ,the reason she joined the hair cut demonstration at the ministry of Finance during the failed NPP government. Why was she afraid of Akufo Ado when she was the chief justice ???

Then also Mahama traveled with his son.
So what if the cj has traveled with her husband what crime has she committed?

I bet you, she and all those justices and lawyers who went to the committee to testify on her behalf might have stole from the public purse by filing for dubious travel expenses. "By their fruits we shall know them"! Remember Madam Akufo, someone is serving time in jail for stealing cassava. Madam Torkornoo is not more human than any Ghanaian. What is good for the geese is also good for the gander! She deserve what the commitee has handed to her.

And you wanted her to be retained as the EC Chairperson??? Imagine the fear he took Ghana through during the declaration of the 2026 elections!!!!!!
