In a thought-provoking interview on Bullet TV, Mussa Dankwah, Chief Executive Director of Global Info Analytics, shared his insights regarding the ongoing discussions about the potential removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
Speaking with host Nana Yaw Fianko, Dankwah initially hesitated to express a clear opinion but ultimately affirmed his support for the rule of law in this matter.
When Fianko asked him about his views on the chief justice’s removal, Dankwah stated, “The law is the law. If the law says so, then so be it.” This remark highlighted his commitment to upholding legal processes.
He further clarified that he would not oppose the removal as long as there were no legal flaws in the proceedings.
Fianko pressed on, asking if this perspective indicated his support for the suspension of Chief Justice Torkornoo.
Dankwah responded affirmatively, noting that he had not seen any acts of illegality thus far. “On that basis, I support it,” he concluded.
This interview sheds light on the critical discussions surrounding judicial accountability in Ghana and emphasizes the importance of legal integrity within the political framework.
As public opinion continues to shift regarding Chief Justice Torkornoo’s position, insights from figures like Mussa Dankwah are pivotal in shaping the narrative around justice and governance in the country.
A recent poll conducted by Global Info Analytics has revealed that a significant majority of Ghanaians support the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, which was enacted in April 2025.
The survey indicates that 53% of voters supports her suspension, reflecting growing public sentiment regarding judicial accountability.
The poll, which sampled 2,558 voters across all 16 regions of Ghana, highlights a stark political divide: while an overwhelming 87% of National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters endorse the suspension, only 13% of New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters agree.
Floating voters show notable support as well, with 54% backing the Chief Justice’s suspension alongside 58% from affiliates of other parties.
Interestingly, the poll results also reveal regional disparities. Support for the suspension is evident in most areas; however, majority in the North East and Northern regions oppose it.
The survey was conducted with a confidence level of 99% and a margin of error of 2.51%.
In light of these findings, President John Dramani Mahama has submitted three petitions to the Council of State seeking a constitutional review regarding Chief Justice Torkornoo’s position.
This formal referral follows Article 146 of Ghana’s Constitution, which requires presidential consultation before any proceedings against high-ranking judicial official.
As discussions surrounding judicial accountability continue to unfold, public attention remains fixed on how these sentiments may influence future legal and political developments in Ghana.
