Public interest advocate Rodaline Imoru Ayarna has criticized suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Esaaba Torkonoo for holding a recent press conference. Ayarna belongs to the Alliance for Revolutionary Change and believes Torkonoo made a serious mistake. She argues the Chief Justice damaged her relationship with the government through her public statements. Ayarna appeared on TV3's New Day program to share her concerns about Torkonoo's strategy. The advocate warns that Torkonoo may need government support for future career opportunities.
Ayarna questions who would recommend Torkonoo for international positions after she attacks the government. She points out that countries typically require positive endorsements from home governments before considering candidates for global roles. The advocate suggests Torkonoo should think about her long-term career prospects before making public criticism. She believes the suspended Chief Justice acted against her best interests during the press conference. Ayarna emphasizes that government officials rarely recommend people who publicly challenge their authority.
The suspended Chief Justice held her press conference on Wednesday and claimed officials violated her rights during removal proceedings. Torkonoo argued that accusations against her do not justify removing a Chief Justice from office. She challenged the legal basis for the action taken against her position. Ayarna believes these public statements will hurt Torkonoo's chances for future success. The advocate thinks the Chief Justice should have remained silent about the ongoing process.
