Here is why Chief Justice Torkonoo was removed
Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, Ghana’s third female Chief Justice since June 2023, was removed following a constitutional inquiry.
The dismissal, announced on September 1, 2025, came after a high-profile investigation into alleged misconduct by the Chief Justice, who strongly rejected the accusations as unfounded and politically motivated.
The process followed constitutional protocols, including a referral to a five-member committee as outlined under Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution.
