THIS IS A MOCKERY OF JUSTICE, A RUSE TO UNJUSTIFIABLY REMOVE ME FROM OFFICE – CJ Torkornoo Cries Out

“All Article 146 proceedings, with the exception of the one I am being subjected to, had hitherto been held in a judicial facility, specifically the Courts Complex. The location of proceedings affecting me to a cordoned high-security facility boggles the mind”, she noted.

She further described the process as a “mockery of justice and a ruse to unjustifiably remove me from office as the Chief Justice.”

“On 23rd May, 2025, notwithstanding receipt of the processes filed in the Supreme Court, including the application for interlocutory injunction, the members of the committee indicated their resolve to proceed with the conduct of the inquiry”, she added.

According to CJ Torkornoo, “They want to break me. What I am going through is not even meted out to persons accused of treason”

She added, “This Honourable Court is the only shield between me and an unconstitutional assault on the office I hold and the independence it symbolises. Only you can stop this assault on judicial independence.”

“I have been treated in a manner not meted out even to persons on trial for treason,”

Suspended CJ Torkornoo additionally disclosed that she has not been made aware of the legal grounds for the determination of a prima facie case, nor of the particular allegations she must respond to.

“How can I defend myself when I don’t even know what I’m defending against?” she asked.

“This is bigger than me.  What is at stake is the security of tenure for every justice of the Superior Courts of Judicature. What is under threat is the very soul of our Constitution”, she warns.
