Suspended Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo, is expected to address the nation today, June 25, 2025, at 3 pm.
The event will take place at The Palms by Eagles Airport City, formerly the Holiday Inn Hotel, Airport City, Accra.
Although the details of her speech remain unknown, it comes in the wake of her suspension and the ongoing hearing of the petitions for her removal by the Justice Pwamang-led committee.
President John Mahama, on April 22, 2025, suspended Chief Justice Torkornoo following consultations with the Council of State, which determined that a prima facie case had been established in relation to three petitions seeking her removal.
The President consequently established a committee, in compliance with Article 146(6) of the Constitution and in consultation with the Council of State, to look into the petitions that had been referred to them.
The five-member committee is chaired by Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, a Justice of the Supreme Court.
Other members include:
-
Justice Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu, Justice of the Supreme Court
-
Daniel Yaw Domelevo, former Auditor-General
-
Major Flora Bazwaanura Dalugo of the Ghana Armed Forces
-
Professor James Sefah Dzisah, Associate Professor at the University of Ghana
