Veteran journalist, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, has questioned why four petitions so far have been sent to the president for the removal of the Chief Justice of Ghana, Gertrude Torkornoo.

In a statement shared on his X page, he said that it is unusual for the president to receive four petitions for the removal of the Chief Justice.

"Indeed, this is the very first time that this has happened in our history, for the president to receive four petitions for the removal of Chief Justice within four months," he indicated.

He added there should be some peculiar explanation to this.

However, he indicated that what the Chief Justice has done or might have not done could have provoked so many petitions against her stewardship.

The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has, in an official statement, said that three of the petitions calling for the removal of the CJ have been referred to the Council of State.
