The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has renewed its call for a review of the decision to suspend Chief Justice (CJ) Getrude Torkonoor.
They made the appeal, during the 43rd Martyrs’ Day commemoration, an event held in honour of Justices Frederick Opoku Sarkodie, Cecilia Koranteng-Addow, and Kwadw Agyei Agyepong, who were abducted and murdered on June 30, 1982.
Their deaths are widely regarded as politically motivated and unjustified acts of violence.
Speaking at the ceremony, President of the Ghana Bar Association, Effua Ghartey raised serious concerns about the suspension’s impact on the judiciary, cautioning that it could establish a troubling precedent for the Ghana’s legal system.
She urged stakeholders to reconsider the decision, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the independence and credibility of Ghana’s judiciary.
We yearn for peace and remain committed to pursuing it.
“She said in the spirit of reconciliation, we hope the various calls for a reconsideration of the Chief Justice’s suspension will not be ignored, especially given the precedent it sets.
