    The firmer CJ needed to serve on the Council of State mist not be a dismissed CJ. Mad Gertrude Torkornoo had that added 'qualification which is not needed. Gertrude Torkornoo is in that sense, "over qualified'.

    Frederick, you are a bit dumb. Madam Getrude Torkonoo is not the only ex- CJ. Check out the facts and stop displaying your ignorance on this platform.
