The Supreme Court of Ghana is once again at the center of attention as it prepares to hear the injunction application brought forth by the suspended Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo. This unprecedented move comes amidst a backdrop of controversy surrounding the Committee of Inquiry tasked with probing petitions seeking the removal of the Chief Justice.
Scheduled for today, Wednesday, May 28, 2025, the hearing will determine whether the Committee can proceed with its investigations or if it must halt until the matter is fully resolved. The Chief Justice is seeking to prevent the committee from moving forward, citing concerns over the impartiality of certain members, specifically Justices Gabriel Scott Pwamang and Samuel Adib-Asiedu.
Justice Torkornoo argues that Justice Pwamang’s prior involvement in cases related to one of the petitioners raises questions about his ability to remain unbiased in this case. Additionally, she points to Justice Adib-Asiedu’s past participation in a similar injunction application as grounds for his disqualification from the committee.
The Chief Justice is also challenging the eligibility of the remaining Committee members under various constitutional provisions, further highlighting the complexity of this legal battle. This high-stakes showdown underscores the importance of impartiality and due process in the judicial system, as well as the crucial role played by the Supreme Court in upholding the rule of law.
As the Supreme Court convenes to weigh the arguments presented, all eyes are on Ghana’s Apex Court to deliver a fair and just decision that will shape the future of this contentious case.
