Ghana : La juge en chef Gertrude Torkornoo destituée par le président

President John Dramani Mahama on Monday, September 1, 2025, dismissed Supreme Court Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, following findings by a special committee that confirmed misconduct.

The four-month investigation, initiated by a citizens' petition, recommended her dismissal, which was implemented in accordance with Article 146(9) of the 1992 Constitution. Suspended since April, Ms Torkornoo becomes the first Chief Justice of the Fourth Republic to be removed from office.

Appointed in 2023, she succeeded Kwasi Anin Yeboah and was the third woman to hold this prestigious position in Ghana.
