The Member of Parliament (MP) for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, has filed a suit at the Supreme Court challenging President John Dramani Mahama’s suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo.
The legislator is seeking the apex court to reverse the suspension on the basis that President Mahama had violated due process because of a pending court application.
In the writ filed today, April 24, the MP is seeking the following reliefs:
- An order restraining any step or action from being purportedly taken as part of the processes for the removal of the Chief Justice under article 146 or in any manner until the hearing and final determination of the instant action.
- An order suspending the operation of the warrant for suspension of the Chief Justice purportedly issued by the President under article 146 or in any manner until the hearing and final determination of the instant action.
- Any further order (s) as to this Honourable Court may seem meet.
