President John Mahama has given Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo 10 days to submit a preliminary response to three petitions demanding her removal from office.
The directive was contained in a letter signed by Callistus Mahama, Secretary to the President.
This come on the back of petitions submitted by three individuals on February 14 and March 17, 2025, alleging misconduct and abuse of power.
According to the letter, President Mahama had initially written to Doe Adjaho, Chairman of the Council of State, on March 24, 2025, forwarding the petitions for consultation, as required under Article 146(6) of the Constitution. The Council of State consented to this process on March 27, 2025, after which the petitions were sent to the Chief Justice for her comments.
However, the President also raised concerns over a leaked letter from Chief Justice Torkonoo, dated March 27, 2025, which was circulated on social media before he had the chance to review it.
