Professor Mahmud Sharif Khalid thinks Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo should step down from her job because of recent problems. He works as an Economic Advisor at the Vice President's Office. Many people in Ghana want the Chief Justice removed, according to research from Global InfoAnalytics. Professor Khalid shared his thoughts on The Big Issue TV show last Saturday.
He believes she should have already quit her position instead of causing more drama. The professor mentioned similar situations that have happened before with other officials. He said these cases created examples long ago, which makes the current discussion unnecessary. Professor Khalid pointed to Charlotte Osei, who lost her job as Electoral Commissioner, even though her position was equal to that of a Court of Appeals judge.
He sees nothing unusual about removing someone from such an important role. The professor thinks people should remember these past events when talking about the current Chief Justice situation. His comments add to the growing debate about leadership in Ghana's judicial system. Some citizens agree with his view that officials facing criticism should leave their positions rather than fight to stay.
