President John Dramani Mahama has, in accordance with Article 146(9) of the 1992 Constitution, removed the Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, from office with immediate effect.

The decision follows the receipt of the report of the Committee of Inquiry established under Article 146(6) of the Constitution to investigate a petition submitted by a Ghanaian citizen, Mr. Daniel Ofori, calling for the removal of the Chief Justice.

After examining the petition, extensive evidence, and testimonies, the Committee concluded that the allegations of stated misbehaviour under Article 146(1) had been sufficiently proven. It is therefore recommended her removal from office.
