Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo has formally written to President John Dramani Mahama, requesting copies of petitions that were filed in a move to have removed from office.
She underscored the need for due process to be followed as enshrined in the constitution.
The Chief Justice wants to be given copies of the petitions so she can respond appropriately.
The Chief Justice emphasises that due process must be observed and asks to be granted at least seven days after receipt of the petitions to submit her response before any consultation proceeds as enshrined under Article 146(6) and (7) of the Constitution.
“I am by this letter humbly and respectfully asking His Excellency the President and eminent members of the Council of State to forward the petitions against me to me and allow me at least seven days after receipt of the same to provide my response to you, which response can then form part of the materials that you conduct the consultation anticipated under 146(6), before the possible setting up of a Committee of Inquiry under article 146(7),” part of the letter stated.
