Hasten slowly – Organised Labour urges Mahama over removal of Chief JusticeĀ 

-

Organised Labour has raised significant concerns over the potential removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, following her suspension.

The Union urged the President to tread cautiously as it could set a bad precedent.

The Secretary-General of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Joshua Ansah, made the clarion call at the 2025 May Day Celebration at Black Star Square on Thursday, May 1.

ā€œMr President, organised labour is duly concerned about this development. Mr President, these petitions set the country and its democracy on a slippery slope.”

“We advise Mr President that you hasten slowly and proceed cautiously on this matter. Your decision will be consequential for our democracy,ā€ Mr Ansah cautioned.

He also criticised the Mahama administration for not taking decisive action against illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey.

Meanwhile, a coalition of political parties, including the New Patriotic Party(NPP) will not Monday, May 5, embark on a demonstration against the suspension which they have described as politically motivated.
The parties have called on the President as a matter of urgency to reinstate Justice Torkornoo despite the appointment of Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie to act in her stead.
