When politics cloud your reasoning, these are the type of argument u advance. How can a so called Professor of Law be making such a legal argument? Where in this world does a sacked Professional suddenly resumes work in a less capacity in the same establishment? Prof, it's a SACK and not a demotion. The law is predominantly commonsense!

AKANS ARE KNOWN TO HAVE CENTURIES-OLD HISTORY OF AKAN TRIBAL BIGOTRY AND DIVISIVENESS IN GHANA AND BEYOND, STARTING WITH SUCCESSIVE ASANTEHENES AND THE NPP CRIMINAL AKANS CARTEL.

TRIBAL BIGOTRY OF AKANS HAS BEEN HANDED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION, AND THAT EXPLAINS WHY AKANS ARE THE MOST BACKWARD AND PRIMITIVE TRIBESPEOPLE IN HOPELESSLY BANKRUPTED MOTHER GHANA.

I KEEP REPEATING ON THIS FORUM THAT AS LONG AS AKANS REMAIN THE MAJORITY IN GHANA POLITICS AND IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN CORPORATE GHANA, GHANAIANS MIGHT AS WELL FORGET A PROGRESSIVE FORWARD-LOOKING WELL DEVELOPED GHANA.

AKUFO-ADDO'S AND KUFUOR'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS GOVERNMENTS OF AKANS CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE WILL BEAR ME OUT.

GHANA WILL NEVER BE LIKE TAX-FREE BREATHTAKING WEALTHY DUBAI AS LONG AS AKANS REMAIN IN TOP POSITIONS IN CORPORATE GHANA.

It would be embarrassing for her to even practice law again. Straight retirement mood . That is why in the early stages, she was advised to resign and accept some financial packages. Once the investigation starts, you can not resign and if found guilty, you get nothing zero. Her option now is a case file in ECOWAS Court, but remember Nigeria fired their CJ too with the court few steps away .

It’s like asking: If for example IGP is found culpable of misappropriating Police funds and removed as IGP, can he remain as a Police Officer? You don’t need a degree to figure this out

Article 146 of the 1992 constitution is for the removal of superior court judges and not the CJ. It's only the procedure that differs if the petition is against the CJ. The outcome however is the same. Torkornoo was there removed as a superior court judge who is also the CJ. She therefore cannot go back to practice as a supreme court judge.

Poor argument from a whole professor. When she was on suspension as Chief Justice, why didn't you argue that she should go and sit at the supreme Court to be empanneled because the suspension affected only her position as CJ. Is it not her position as a supreme Court Judge that propelled her to the CJ position? Dishonest lecturers. How can you separate the two?

Such people must be stopped by academia . They are a disgrace to the University of Ghana.

I admire this lady for fighting every means intellectually till the end even though I believe she knew she'll be let go in the long run. History will be kind to her. I'll not even think of serving anymore of this kind of a country where any citizen with a flimsy complaint garner a president's support and that of the council of state to remove a chief Justice. It's a sad situation and people with power today can say all they want and hire who they think is fit for this position. Suddenly people are asking for an amendment of the law to prevent any such future mess. Why do you support this and turn around to cry for an amendment?. Ghana has been twisted for a long time now and hopefully one day things will be settled so people can live in prosperity. The people do not even know they are being used by these thieves.
