The Centre for Citizenship, Constitutional and Electoral Systems has filed an application at the Supreme Court to keep suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo in office.
According to the group, suspension of the Chief Justice by President John Mahama violates key provisions of the 1992 Constitution, particularly Articles 17(1)–(3), 23, 296, and 146(1)–(4) and (6).
They said the procedure lacked due process, and failed to uphold the principles of fairness, non-discrimination, and lawful administrative conduct as enshrined in the Constitution.
Consequently, the group is asking the Supreme Court to declare that the President’s response to three petitions seeking the Chief Justice’s removal was unconstitutional.
