Aide to former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has lashed out at President John Dramani Mahama and the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) over the removal of former Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, accusing them of politicising the judiciary.
Speaking on Channel One TV, Mr. Aboagye described the move as a direct attack on the independence of Ghana’s judiciary and a dangerous precedent for democratic governance.
“If this is the kind of petition that can get a Chief Justice removed, then trust me, the NDC and President Mahama have basically destroyed our judiciary. What they have done is that, as we speak, they have now solidified and confirmed the fact that they have set up a biased and political judiciary. Now, whoever the president appoints as CJ is NDC,” he argued.
