Kwaku Ansa-Asare Calls for Formal Retirement of Justice Gertrude Torkornoo
Legal educationist and founder of MountCrest University College, Kwaku Ansa-Asare, has urged that former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo be formally retired from the Supreme Court to enable her access her full entitlements and benefits.
Speaking at the 8th Congregation of MountCrest University College on Saturday, September 20, 2025, Mr. Ansa-Asare said the retirement would be the fairest resolution following her removal as Chief Justice.
“My advice is that the former Chief Justice be formally retired as a Justice of the Supreme Court so that she can take a hard-earned entitlement,” he stated.
He argued that Justice Torkornoo had been invited to respond to petitions strictly in her capacity as Chief Justice, not as a Justice of the Supreme Court. This, he suggested, created a gap in the legal process that may have disregarded equity.
“She was invited to answer petitions for her removal as Chief Justice, not as Justice of the Supreme Court, and in that I think that we administered common law rules oblivious of equitable principles,” he explained.
Mr. Ansa-Asare further emphasised that Ghana’s legal system must uphold both common law and equitable principles in matters of justice and fairness.
