Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, the CEO of the National Petroleum Authority and Director of Legal Affairs of the NDC, has revealed a shocking piece of information on the ongoing probe against suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Sackey Torkornoo.
According to Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, some Judicial Service staff are serving as witnesses in the probe against Justice Torkornoo in three separate petitions.
He further revealed that the suspended Chief Justice’s removal is imminent as the five-member committee continues its probe.
Speaking on The KeyPoints on July 5, 2025, Godwin Edudzi Tameklo stated, “Judicial Service staff are serving as witnesses in the probe against her”.
His comments come in response to the President of the GBA, Effua Ghartey’s speech at the 43rd commemoration of Martyrs’ Day.
President of the GBA, Effua Ghartey, during the 43rd commemoration of Martyrs’ Day, called on President Mahama to review the decision to suspend Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
Speaking at the annual Martyrs’ Day commemoration in Accra, on Monday, June 30, 2025, Efua Ghartey stated, “All the various calls made for a reconsideration of the suspension of the Chief Justice must not be ignored. In these circumstances, it sets a poor precedent. And that precedent will not go unheeded”.
“We should be careful as a nation not to go down the slippery slope of endless revenge by justifying various acts with the refrain, ‘but others did that too.’
We then rose as a nation from the ashes like the phoenix and decided to conscientiously do better by making Ghana’s democracy and penchant for the rule of law admirable and attractive to many worldwide,” she explained.
