Professor Ransford Gyampo attacked Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo for trying to make her removal case political. The Ghana Shippers Authority leader said she should face legal review instead of seeking public support. Gyampo appeared on TV3's KeyPoint program Saturday and questioned people who defend her without strong legal reasons. He believes the Chief Justice shows double standards during this process. The political scientist wants officials to handle her case without emotional bias.
Gyampo stressed that nobody stands above Ghana's laws regardless of their job title. Legal processes should decide whether Torkornoo did wrong or deserves protection from accusations. He criticized the NPP party and Ghana Bar Association for staying quiet about similar cases before. These groups defend the Chief Justice but remained silent when others faced the same treatment. The professor told them to stop talking if they cannot stay consistent about justice.
Torkornoo recently asked the Supreme Court to end the committee investigating complaints against her. The petition accused her of human rights violations that require official examination. Court officials dismissed her application and kept the investigation committee active. Gyampo supports letting the legal system work without political interference. He wants accountability to apply equally to all government officials across different administrations.
