Suspended Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo, is scheduled to address the nation today, June 25, 2025, at 3:00 PM.
The address will take place at The Palms by Eagles Airport City (formerly the Holiday Inn Hotel), located in Airport City, Accra.
While the exact content of her speech has not been disclosed, it comes amidst the ongoing proceedings related to her suspension and the formal petitions seeking her removal from office. The address is expected to draw significant public and legal interest.
Chief Justice Torkornoo was suspended by President John Mahama on April 22, 2025, following consultations with the Council of State, which found sufficient grounds (a prima facie case) in three separate petitions calling for her dismissal.
In accordance with Article 146(6) of Ghana’s Constitution, the President subsequently formed a committee to investigate the petitions.
The five-member committee is chaired by Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang of the Supreme Court, and includes:
- Justice Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu, Supreme Court Justice
- Daniel Yaw Domelevo, former Auditor-General
- Major Flora Bazwaanura Dalugo, Ghana Armed Forces
- Professor James Sefah Dzisah, Associate Professor, University of Ghana
