A dangerous precedent has just been set by President Mahama and the NDC, one that lowers the threshold of a removal of a sitting Chief Justice and mocks the independence of the judiciary.
A brazen assault that strikes the very heart of the third arm of government.
Her ladyship, Gertrude Torkonoo, stood tall, serving with uncommon grace and integrity, yet today we are reminded that in Ghana, the price of defending justice is often paid by those who dare to uphold it.
And the most remarkable part? A 10,000-page report was read and reviewed, and a recommendation was implemented within a few hours upon receipt, and all this drama happened within a day.
Truly, a new world record for efficiency!
A difficult day for the justice system in the History of Ghana.
May the toils of our forebears never be in vain as Ghana navigates these challenging times.
Interesting times ahead for justice delivery in Ghana.
