According to the minority leader, Supreme Court Justices have become cowardly and are constitutionally inexcusable.

Speaking during the vetting on Monday, June 16, 2025, Afenyo Markin stated, “We convene whilst our Chief Justice sits suspended through procedurally questionable process under Articles 146 and 296.

An executive that suspends one Chief Justice while installing seven new justices is not filling vacancies. It is reshaping the constitutional order.

“The appearance of institutional capture is inevitable and constitutionally catastrophic. The Supreme Court has abdicated its constitutional duty, repeatedly refusing to intervene when fundamental principles of natural justice have suffered violation. This institutional cowardice is constitutionally inexcusable,” he added.

He warned further that newly nominated justices “will inherit a court that retreats into comfortable silence when courage is demanded.”

His comment follows, the Chief Justice crying out about what she is going through at the hands of the Committee’s investigating petitions for her removal.

According to a supplementary affidavit filed with the Supreme Court as part of her legal challenge Chief Justice Torkornoo alleges violations of her fundamental rights in the ongoing impeachment proceedings against her.

Meanwhile, Kwaku Ansa-Asare, the former Director of the Ghana School of Law has said the suspended Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo and her legal team are attempting to disrupt a lawful process.
