The Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has called on members of the judiciary to rally in defense of their institution following the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
He made the appeal during the presentation of a petition by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and its allied groups as part of the “Save the Judiciary” protest.
Addressing the gathering, Afenyo-Markin condemned the suspension, describing it as a grave threat to the independence of the judiciary and the overall stability of Ghana’s democracy.
“The judiciary is our last hope, and we believe that what is happening undermines our democracy. For the Chief Justice to be singled out for this ‘unfortunate’ attack, a flimsy pedestrian petition.
“Today it is Torkonoo, tomorrow it may be you. You don’t serve at the whims and caprices of a political party and a government,” he said.
