Members of the Article 146 Committee of Inquiry set up by President John Dramani Mahama to handle the petition for the removal of the embattled Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, say they restrained themselves from reacting when blatantly false statements were made about them and their work.
The Chairman of the Committee, Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang of the Supreme Court, presenting his team’s final report to the President, Mr John Dramani Mahama, in Accra on Monday, September 1, 2025, hinted that members were clear in their minds about what was required of them and, for that reason, they turned a blind ear to all the blatant falsehoods peddled against them.
Justice Pwamang, after presenting the report to the President, said: “To the committee, our mandate and remit as set out under Article 146 Clauses (7) and (8) of the Constitution is clear, and it is to inquire into the petitions in camera, hear the person against whom the petitions have been brought in her defence by herself or by a lawyer or other expert of her choice, and then to make a recommendation to the President.”
