Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has petitioned the Supreme Court to bar two of its justices, Gabriel Scott Pwamang and Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu, from taking part in the proceedings that could lead to her removal from office.

The application, filed on her behalf by former Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, follows allegations that the two justices met privately with a lawyer connected to the matter currently before a committee of inquiry.

The writ names Justices Gabriel Scott Pwamang and Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu, former Auditor-General Daniel Yao Domelevo, Major Flora Bazwaanura Dalugo, and Professor James Sefah Dzisah as defendants/respondents.

According to the motion, Justice Torkornoo is requesting the Supreme Court to restrain the committee, composed of the second to sixth defendants, from continuing any proceedings or actions relating to the inquiry into the three petitions seeking her removal.

Justice Torkornoo is currently facing a petition for her removal and has been suspended by President John Mahama under Article 146 of the Constitution, pending the outcome of the proceedings.

Her latest move signals deepening tensions over the integrity of the ongoing process, as she questions the impartiality of key members of the bench linked to the inquiry.
