President Mahama has suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo after three petitions were filed against her. He made this decision after talking with the Council of State, which found enough evidence to start an investigation. The President set up a team of five people to look into these claims. The team includes Supreme Court Justices, a former Auditor-General, an army officer, and a university professor.
The President signed an order immediately removing the Chief Justice from her job. She will stay suspended until the investigation ends. The press release says this suspension does not mean she did anything wrong; it just helps keep the investigation fair. This case shows how our laws let the President act when complaints come against top judges.
The results from this investigation will affect our courts and legal system. The team must check all claims carefully before giving their report to the President. Their findings might change how our justice system works for years to come.
