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

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.

“Mr 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,” 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.
