The legal team of former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has signaled its intention to challenge the decision of the Committee of Inquiry that recommended her removal from office.
The Committee, established by President John Dramani Mahama to investigate petitions of misbehaviour, submitted its report on Monday, September 1, 2025, finding her guilty of misconduct and advising her dismissal.
However, her lead counsel and former Attorney-General, Nii Ayikoi Otoo, maintains that the former Chief Justice was treated unfairly and deserves the opportunity to clear her name.
“This is an option we are looking for to get the records straight. When Dr. Danquah went to court to talk about Re: Akoto, and that there was the abuse of a fundamental human right, people did not take him seriously. But today, people are praising him for having fought that good fight. So, we will go to court at the right time,” Mr. Otoo said in an interview on Saturday, September 6, 2026.
If filed, the case is expected to test the scope of presidential powers and the limits of constitutional protections for judicial office holders in Ghana.
