In addition to Sory's view, independence of the judiciary & separation of powers do not mean that there cannot be checks & balances.

If the president can be impeached by Parliament through constitutional processes and procedures, why can't the executive remove the chief Justice through the same constitutional processes and Procedures?

The removal of the president, Speaker of Parliament and the chief Justice are clearly stated in the constitution and it is being followed and applied so what is the big deal?

If she, Justice Torkono, can over turn speaker of Parliament decision on those 4 MPs, and Ghana & Parliament respected her ruling, why can't she respect the ruling of the committee but wants to hide independence of the judiciary and separation of powers?

We should not behave like ostriches in Ghana if we want our beloved country to move forward. Noone is above the law. The law is still the law & the law must work in Ghana.

It is the same in other professions. Accountants have same provisions. They add "professional" misbehavior or incompetence. Mentioning specifics creates loopholes in the law. It should be left opened as it.

There's not even a need to tweak article 146, no, not at all. The president is impeachable by parliament, so is the chief justice and any judge removable by the executive, the council of state and the judiciary. The speaker is removable and so is any MP. No one is above the law. Separation of powers and independence is clearly guaranteed. Impudence nibbed in the bud.

ITS BECAUSE THIS DISMISSAL IS CRUDELY UNFAIR AND UNJUST. The Lady was targeted, evidence used including the per diem issue is moot because it was sanctioned by the Judicial service. Who are the only people to decide the conditions of service of the Judiciary. The other allegations are laughable. Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Anytime you deal unjustly with any one you got something coming

There are legal precedents of what constitute misbehaviour. As per common law too, on which the criminal justice derives it's roots, a clear definition of stated misbehaviour is made. The first case of article 146 in ghana involving the deputy commissioner of CHRAJ indicated in-subordination is a form of stated misbehaviour. If the CJ refuses to obey a well reasoned high court ruling in the absence of any appeal, is that not insubordination to the law?

Spot on Rasta!

We should stop all the razzmatazz and move on. The President acting on the constitutionally mandated process has decided and we should move on.

Impudence and impunity, irrespective of who is involved should not be tolerated in our country and thank God we have constitutional provisions to check that.

Let’s all always be mindful of the clear difference between position and power and be measured with our actions.

Power has an expiry period for the person appointed but the position remains into which another person can be appointed when the time is up.

My brother Rasta, don't waste your time and energy justifying why that unprincipled and treacherous woman had to be sacked. No enlightened human being worth the brains that God gave all of us, would support the continued stay of such a person as a Chief Justice of a great country like Ghana. For those still supporting her, maybe in their families or in their uncivilized villages, it is normal and not a big deal to cheat, steal and lie. If they think they can bring this country down to that low uncivilized standard, they should be made to know that it will not happen. The people of this country have overwhelmingly given the current NDC govt the mandate and the responsibility to save this country from further sinking after the terrible mess they put the country into after 8 years of looting and anarchy. The NDC should not fail us and please we the President is a kind man but he should continue to keep to the side of God and have no mercy for for thieves and nation-wreckers.

Sory is a law luminary and speaking law and will always speaks law.
The good constitutional processes and procedures with reference to article 146(6-10) is what has been applied to remove the Chief Justice and shouldn’t be a big deal.
Therefore the brouhahas and hullabaloos about the Chief Justice removal is shifting of the goal posts but this is over the bar. The law has not changed being the law and will remain the law which will govern all and sundry for the delivery of justice without fear or favour. Period!

Swear to God that you were never bias as a Chief Justice. God curse your evil mouth. You will soon be the NPP Women's Organizer. Shame on you.

We put people in positions of power with the hope that they will create opportunities for the grassroots, especially through jobs. Unfortunately, once politicians assume office, many set up businesses and divert contracts to their family members. This is nothing short of greed. One cannot serve in government and at the same time run private businesses that feed off the state you must either choose to serve the public or stay in the private sector.

What is happening in Ghana today is that political aspirants gather business owners, urging them to support their campaigns with the promise of future rewards. Yet, when they win, they abandon those supporters and instead create new companies under the names of their family members, through which they channel state funds and contracts.

Until strict laws are put in place and actually enforced, Ghana will not progress. We must ask ourselves: what happened to all the contractors who were fully paid but never completed their projects? Why are they walking free without accountability? The harsh reality is that ministers and procurement directors often demand huge percentages of contract sums upfront. By the time the contractor receives payment, the money left is far less than what is recorded on paper. How, then, can such a contractor finish the work? How can one be expected to deliver quality results when they are forced to pay kickbacks even before they are paid for the job?

This cycle of corruption and greed is crippling the nation. God bless our homeland Ghana!!!

Guys,
Pls not that Nana Addo didn’t conceive the idea to sack Charlotte Osei like Mahama did to Torkonoo. Rather, Charlottes brought out charges to have her deputies sacked and the deputies also presented their charges to Akuffo Addo to have Charlottes removed. This is completely different from Mahama promising to have the CJ out while in opposition and duly following it up on suspicious charges.
Asiedu Nketia, Deputy NDC Gen sec Gbande, Sammy Gyamfi and others all promised to have the CJ sacked if the won the elections.
Alban Bagbin, Haruna Iddrissu, and about 40 other NDC MPs collected double salaries in the Mills/Mahama government, and Akuffo Addo could have jailed all of them and also removed them as MPs.
Yes Mahama followed the law as per the constitution in sacking the CJ but was his intent right. This is some claimed to have misappropriated govt funds, but returned over 70% of the funds given to her to spend on her vacation. At least, it stands to reason that she has some conscience. Her intent was not to fleece the state. How can this woman be said to be corrupt or criminal? Some CEO’ s even have a more elaborate benefits than the CJ and indeed, some do spend more than the CJ on their vacations. Torkonoo is gone, the process of removing her was lawful per the constitutional provisions, but the intent behind it is dubious, awful, and remorseful.
Three of those that decided her fate had animosity towards her, one was aggrieved that she got the position instead of him, the other was against her for not recognizing him as much as the others, and another had a family feud with her.
As I have said she’s now gone but the article 146 needs to be made more stringent and rigorous so that any future NPP government will not stupidly use the same scenario to oust another CJ or someone else.

A welder in a company at weekends request permission from the employer to make use of welding bits that are short and the company sees that when given to the welder is better than them being thrown out.
On a particular day after work he did not seek permission from his the factory manager before taking the welding pits.
He was searched at the gate of the company and found with the welding bits.
The welding bits are not his property, thus he must short permission always to take them away.
He was summarily dismissed for stealing.
So on this matter the president or someone acting on his behalf was to go to the Chief Justice and dismiss her in the manner its done to judges.

Now, there are contestations against the point of the petition that carried, that the CJ's trave; policy allows her to travel with a family member, and that the travelling family member is entitled to half of the CJ's per diem. I do not know why this provision was not brought up during the trial. But, everything points to the fact that the Pwamang Committee has utilised a grey area to sack the CJ. Ghanaians are watching.
