Kwaku Ansa-Asare criticized Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo for talking about her removal case to the public. The former Ghana School of Law director said constitutional matters should not be discussed outside official proceedings. Ansa-Asare spoke on Eyewitness News after Torkornoo held her first press conference since officials suspended her. He argued that her public statements seemed like emotional appeals rather than legal arguments. The legal expert believes citizens should not get involved in these constitutional disputes.
Ansa-Asare questioned why Torkornoo complained about a broken justice system after leading it for three years. He asked who caused the problems if she supervised the courts during this period. The former law school head suggested Torkornoo should have fixed system issues during her leadership tenure. He pointed out that she only discovered these flaws after becoming their target. Ansa-Asare believes her experience shows the justice system needs major repairs.
Torkornoo spoke publicly about alleged constitutional violations during her impeachment proceedings. She claimed the Article 146 process contained serious procedural errors and unfair treatment. The suspended chief justice refused calls to resign from her position. She plans to continue fighting the removal process through all available legal channels. Officials suspended Torkornoo in April after starting the constitutional investigation.
