💨 Abstract

Ghanaian President John Mahama suspended the country's Supreme Court chief justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, after an initial investigation against her. The move drew criticism from the opposition, who accused Mahama of an attack on judicial independence and a violation of the constitution. Torkornoo's suspension marks the first time a Ghanaian Supreme Court chief justice has been suspended since the 1992 constitution. The reason for the suspension remains unclear.
