So what is the agent of devil, madam CJ Torkoonoo doing about the Speaker's letter to expediate action on the Dela Sky's suit? Parliament has duly passed the bill and the mother Serpent of corruption Nana Addo refused to accept bill based on Dela sky's suit, is that not a governance issue as well?

Should we regard this spontaneous defence be deemed as guilty conscious?

In my candid opinion, there was no need for the "Thief" Justice to force explain anything if she religiously think they did nothing wrong. I come under the assumption that why explain this particular case but not all the previous "mis"judgments?

THE CHIEF JUSTICE IS A DISGRACE
Many of the Akuffo Addo appointees are just clueless. I expect the Chief Justice who has served many years on the bench to be sensitive to certain issues. She must realise by now that the Attorney General is not behaving like the Minister for Justice but rather like a party footsoldier. Why didn't Godfred Dame add the lgbtqi+ injunction to it to the Supreme court? The president was supposed to sign the LGBTQI bill within seven days. Up till now he has not signed. If Ghana were a serious country, kobolor Akuffo Addo would have been impeached by now. Akuffo Addo violates the constitution with impunity and the Supreme court sit down unconcerned. Are we serious in this country. Gertrude Torkornoo is worse than Anim Yeboah.

Hey Madam chief justice please stop being partisan . There is no justification for calling up this case before the LGBTQ case . This latter case is the one to bring chaos in the country if it is not handled properly and that is what should be a priority for the courts if you have senses. The ministerial appointments is not of any priority to Ghanaians. These ministers have been at their posts for over seven years and couldn’t do a damn thing . So why the haste in appointing these ones for the remaining six months of the non performing government.

STOMACH CHIEF JUSTICE

But should you a seasoned lawyer and now Chief Justice not have known, along with your colleague Justices, to also summarily dismiss the LGBQT case pending before your court since the case clearly deals with a matter that isn't ripe for appeal to your court? Why will your court entertain a matter that has only been voted on by Parliament but not yet signed into law by the President? Aren't you deviously assisting Akufo-Addo to play his delay games?

exhibit fairness and let the people of this country see and feel it.
we don't have to do any damaged control if the people of this country has seen fairness in the system.
what you guys do forgot is that-
The people who are corrupting you, the same people would come out against you as corrupt when you goes against them .
it is on this grounds you must at all times exhibit fairness for both A, and B, for C to say that I fave seen and felt fairness.
carry the people of the country along, because they would either support you or will go against you.
Onething I love About Ghanaians is that - devoid of politics they would tell you the truth.
you cannot say you are delivering justice- in a situation in which it is only you and your paymasters who sees it.
let everybody feel comfortable to come to you for justice.
My only gracious OTUMFOUR - The Asantehene Once ask you people to come and learn from Manhyia when the Asanteman council is in section.
why is it that In Asante Region when it comes to chieftaincy and anything that is within the jurisdiction of AsanteHene- people feel that when their case reaches the occupant of the Golden Stool surely justice would be delivered ? it is purely and simple , the people has seen fairness and justice in the KING.
that makes Asanteehene the last stop of any case because the truth would be prevailed and justice would be delivered.
Ghana Supreme Court must learn to be fair and deliver justice. SAY NO TO POWER when they are wrong,
and say yes to power when they are right

You’re an unfair chief justice Ms. Torkornoo. Please read the verbiage of “appearance of impropriety” or “conflict of interest” clauses in the Ghana constitution even if the queen’s English is not our own. The courts image of being fair, impartial and the ultimate arbiter of truth suffers with your illogical excuses. You do not become the sole person to set court calendar then run off so as to not schedule filings against the government neither should you justify your latest decision. There are people in the Volta region who have been disenfranchised by EC decisions. Do you not think their issues takes precedence over a bloated government bureaucracy?
